Suggestion: after "If you submit a link to a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title." add another paragraph:
If you submit a link to old news, please warn us by appending [year] (the year of publication) to the title.
Justification: Revisiting "old" news can be very worth while, but we appreciate a warning that it isn't current.
- dasil003 17y agoI actually don't have a problem with this. I've long since trained myself to check the date in all circumstances when I'm looking at something online. My main complaint is when something on the web doesn't have a date (or it just has month and day but no year), how do we push guidelines out to all web publishers?
- access_denied 17y ago> how do we push guidelines out to all web publishers? By setting an example wherever we go. Be the change, that you want to see on the web.
- billswift 17y agoIf it's old, but of current interest, who cares much about the date? If it's old and not of current interest, don't link it here.
- antipaganda 17y agoThe date is information. More info = good in this case.
- pronoiac 17y agoIt's not "old is bad," but "avoiding unnecessary confusion is good."
