I am happy to see this.  If there is an explicit list of rules
and consequences for not obeying them, this should eliminate much
arbitrary erasure and termination of articles; we would then
be able to distinguish between "news filtering" (weeding articles
by otherwise impartial rules) and "news censorship" (weeding
articles that "we" don't like).

I hope this works out.


(hey, I'm a reasonable guy).
