Question on a thread OP

[Dante]

Can a thread stay open if the OP contains only a headline that is linked to an article elsewhere; meaning no original content

 

[Dante]

I apologized if this is already covered, but the rules here have become like a bill in the Congress

I'm curious as well. I guess we need to say a few words why we are posting something.

Can it? Sure. I've seen it happen despite the rules.

The real question is, should it stay open? The obvious answer, according to the rules, is: No.

It's a lazy bastard who goes down that path...

Is that a rule violation? Yes.

Does it sometimes happen anyway, and we don't catch it? Yes.

Should you click the report button if you see a thread like that? Yes.
