Submitting a link to an article is easy. Simply click "Submit a new link" which is located top right. Please follow these two guidelines while posting any links to fact-based articles. (As well as any rules)
1) Titles must fairly and accurately reflect the article and exclude your personal opinions on the matter. (However, you are free to voice any opinions you might have, including highly controversial ones in the comment section. The caveat being that they do not violate Reddit's content policy or our own rules)
2) URLs: Fact-based news reports only please.
Violating these guidlines and/or rules may result in a ban, temporary or otherwise.
An additional note
/r/abetterworldnews prides itself on letting open, free, and honest opinion occur in our comments section. Even if that opinion is controversial, politically incorrect, or counter to any values the moderation team may have.
We won't censor, except for in extra-ordinary cases. We will do our best to defend free speech in this subreddit in all its forms. This includes speech that many may not agree with, for this is the only way to ensure freedom of speech truly stays free for all of us.
However there are exceptions to any rule, as we must of course abide by Reddit's content policy. Basically this means that extra-ordinary cases must be dealt with. (i.e. - severe racism, severe personal threats/attacks, extremist propaganda, etc.) But the moderation team should only even begin to bat an eye at these forms.
