List of Unapproved Sources

[MissPie]

Is there a list somewhere of unapproved WS sources? I’ve searched around, but haven’t uncovered one. I see people post from time to time that such-and-such is not an approved source. Hoping there’s an ongoing list or guidelines that I have overlooked. Thank you, All!

It has to be main stream media to link . Except fox news. Local fox news channels are allowed for local reporting's.
The rules are very unclear about posting links from other sources ,such as youtube s an that .
I have had educational You tube links removed for being "random" .<modsnip>

Hi MissPie
Because the media is so vast these days, we do not have a list. It would be impossible to keep up with. What we allow are mainstream media sources and an occasional source that we have found trustworthy.
The best thing to do is to send a direct message to any of the mods, SillyBilly, MadMcGoo, Knitty, or me, and ask, or email me at [email protected], and ask if a source is approved.
Thank you

Thank you so much! This is really helpful and I will go look at the TOS agreement too.

IMO:
What would be so helpful to posters is when someone gets an "exception" to post an "unapproved source" that they state that in their post.

Otherwise seeing that the "exception" is not deleted by a moderator it appears that it is now an approved source when it's not and can create problems for others if/when they post the same source and it gets deleted as being "random" and also could cause a TO.

Thanks Tricia
