It pops up on the top right of the screen on your homepage and tells you about what's going on in the website. I find myself logging onto this god-forsaken forum only to be completely overwhelmed by the fact that herflederf900000 just got crowned King Of The Weiner Sauces and that g\u00e6ng\u00e6gog\u00e6 just beheaded bl\u0153nb\u0153bob\u0153 in a fight for a corndog. This fixes that.<br /><br />News is user-submitted. Submissions for news articles go here. Bug reports and questions go here as well. <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Please submit news even though this isn't finished yet.</span> <span style=\"text-decoration:line-through;\">They will still be added to the Atom feed that you can subscribe to with a feed reader.</span> I'll report on progress in here but for now it's in very early stages of development. Code and the feed will be available online. Start writing. Thanks.<br /><br />If you're going to write an article please include a title and the content itself. They should be as unbiased as possible. You will be credited by your username.

This is your friend as a writer. If reading this stresses you out or you just want to get writing then go ahead. This is not meant to be a quick reference (save for the criteria list at the bottom); the only section you really *need* to pay attention to is the format guidelines. Everything else can be figured out through common sense, and, if not that, trial and error.<br /><h2 class=\"heading\">Article format guidelines</h2>Articles must have the following <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">required</span> elements:<br /><ul><li> Title</li></ul>The title of your article that is the first thing readers see. It should be relevant to the article.<br /><ul><li> Tagline</li></ul>A summary of what your article is about, sort of like what other news websites have. It should also be relevant to the article and sum it up in a <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">single sentence.</span><br /><ul><li> Content</li></ul>The actual meat of your article.<br /><br />Article can have the following <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">optional</span> elements:<br /><ul><li> Image</li></ul>A single image that is relevant to the article.<br />If you are going to write an article, it is best you do it in a consistent format. Here is one if you are unsure:<div style=\"text-align:left;background-color:#e8e8e8;padding:12px;-moz-border-radius:8px;border-radius:8px;font-family:"Courier New", monospace;overflow:auto;\">!{ARTICLE TITLE}<br />\n<i>{ARTICLE TAGLINE}</i><br />\nby {ARTICLE AUTHOR (you)}<br />\n<br />\n{ARTICLE CONTENT}<br />\n{ARTICLE IMAGE (optional)}</div><br /><h2 class=\"heading\">Article content guidelines</h2><span style=\"text-decoration:line-through;\">As a member of TC&S you are freely allowed to submit articles for Castemoinen that will appear on its widget. These articles should, ideally, be <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">unbiased</span> and <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">neutral</span> perspectives on <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">recent events</span>. The only constant in this, of course, is the first two words (unbiased & neutral), as well as the exhaustive list that is provided below. A news article can be more than a report (news); it can also be a review on something like a movie or album, as well as a retrospective on past events, occurrences, or general subjects. Additionally, if you have knowledge of something you are willing to share that is recently relevant, you may write about it. If a mainstream news outlet can house a post of your type, you are allowed to submit it. This does not mean Castemoinen is your personal blog.<br /><br />Articles can be rejected. They will be given a reason for rejection which will be the letter C followed by a number. This corresponds to a specific guideline from the list below.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Articles pertaining to recent events</span> follow strict guidelines and generally cover what has just occurred. It is best you write them one to three days after said incident has occurred. Any longer and they might become stale and thus fail <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">C3: Significant</span>.<br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Articles serving as a retrospective on past occurrences or ideologies</span> should be <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">C2: Relevant</span> and <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">C3: Significant</span> enough in that it has, in the past, warranted multiple reactions or opinions from users.<br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Articles expressing personal opinion</span> should be created <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">sparingly</span>, but are allowed so long as they are <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">C2: Relevant</span>. These articles should <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">not</span> express an opinion on a recent event. They should either discuss a general, widely-spread or recognized idea/material object, or something that has happened at least a week in the past.<br /><br />Please do not refrain from adding humor to articles. Infact, please add as much as you see fit. This is not entirely serious.<br /><h2 class=\"heading\">Article guideline descriptions</h2>Here is the exhaustive list of article criteria. Your article should pass all, or most (depending on the type of content it is) of these, to be accepted. <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">This can and <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">will</span> change</span>, so please look over this each time you write an article. Each article should match the following criteria:<br /><ul><li> <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">C1: Unbiased</span>. All news articles should be free of bias and completely neutral, except in situations where it is not warranted i.e. when writing a personal viewpoint on a subject. If writing on the recent inauguration of the new president, you should not describe them with words such as "amazing" and "beautiful." If, however, you are writing an opinionated article on the ethics of insurance scams, such biased words are generally acceptable.</li><li> <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">C2: Relevant</span>. They should be free of extraneous information pertaining to what is not relevant to TC&S. If I wanted to read an article about the coronation of King Charles III, I would look it up on an actual media outlet. Articles discussing recent events <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">on the website</span> are okay. Articles discussing things relevant to <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">you</span> are okay. Global, more notable things that you are not remarkably involved in should not be discussed <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">unless it is written with the purpose of expressing your opinion on such an occurrence</span>.</li><li> <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">C3: Significant</span>. Articles covering recent events should be events that are notable and recent enough to warrant one or more paragraphs discussing it. Discussing the exile of Kylljoy is relevant as hell, but talking about hoylecake double-posting in his own thread isn't.</li><li> <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">C4: Substantive</span>. One or two sentences about something is not going to be good enough. <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Write to your heart's content</span>. State as many things as you want as long as it is at least an entire paragraph or more. There is no maximum, but there is a minimum. Lengthy articles are more likely to be accepted than short ones.</li><li> <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">C5: Nonpersonal</span>. If it's a news article, don't write about yourself. If you resign from the King Of Meerkats position in the republic you are not allowed to then write an article on what you just did.</li><li> <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">F1: Relevant field</span>. Additional fields such as the title, tagline, and image should represent what your article is about. A news article about the latest established religion should not be called "Herfy derf." It will be rejected. Don't do that.</s></li></ul></span>", "user": "hoylecake" }, { "id": "1291636", "time": "1684254930", "html": "<h2 class=\"heading\"> Recent, Unbiased Event Not Available</h2><br /><span style=\"font-style:italic;\">I'm sorry, since I was unable to provide you with a recent event, I can not provide a tagline.</span><br /><br />by user64837<br /><br />I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I don't have real-time access to the internet or the ability to browse specific websites like "twocansandstring.com."
