Courtesy note to all: this story was from December 2013. I keep seeing these posts and wonder, "oh it happened again", but then I find it's just a several year old story. I'm not saying it's not still relevant; I think it is, but it would really be helpful to attach the date of the story in the title of the post.
Make a post suggesting this in v/pizzagatemods. I have been thinking for a few days now that we need to have a "Old News" flair Mods can add. To change the actual submission rules, we have to go through a process where we announce changes with a sitcky, gather comment feedback, etc. It's somewhat drawn-out.
To add that flair, you'll have to clearly define "Old News". I totally get what you are saying, and I've commented on several subs here, primarily to bring attention to the date. But, there's a LOT of important "OLD News" here, presented as supporting evidence. Maybe better to add something about this to the Sub Requirements, and rely on us v/pizzagaters to keep pointing this stuff out?
Yes, that is a good point. It's not a problem when it's in support of a research post. It's really the standalone posts that look like new developments but aren't that are the problem.

This should be a rule. When posting an old story if you don't put the date in the title, it will be deleted.
This happens too often.
