An ITV documentary has revealed the true extent of sexual abuse at the UK’s boarding schools, with hundreds of people accused of carrying out sexual attacks in recent years and dozens of ongoing police investigations.
In the Exposure programme to be broadcast on Monday, journalist and author Alex Renton - who was sexually abused as an eight-year-old by his teacher at one of the country’s top boarding schools - investigates the private schools that appeared willing to disregard children’s safety, with some failing to take action against predatory paedophiles who groomed and assaulted young boarders repeatedly - sometimes getting away with it for decades.
@Mad_As_Hell, since this is an article link (at least I consider it to be one, ahem), it doesn't require a short summary. Many users will be grateful however, if summaries are provided by OPs.
Would you consider providing a short summary in a comment in your future submissions, please? That would be great! :-)
Haha, @Blacksmith21, I think we really should have a discussion about expanding Rule 3 (like @millenial_vulcan suggested) and require summaries for article posts, too.
Another way of saying this is: ban Link posts altogether and only allow Discuss posts.
I had another thought. Everyone has to fill out a "form" in order to make a submission. We added a red box at the top a long time ago reminding people to read the rules in the sidebar...but I wonder if we could change the form itself to directly ask "What is this about and how is this related to the sexual abuse of kids by the global elite?" or "Pizzagate Premise"? Maybe instead of the title? @kevdude@heygeorge...thoughts? Sure do wish we could edit titles.

Yes, but my take on this is, as you've said some time ago, that link posts are a good way to let users contribute who don't have the time to do discussion posts....imo we shouldn't neglect this.

Excellent idea, Vin!!
I'd opt to include the full sentence:
"What is this about and how is this related to the sexual abuse of kids by the global elite?
The beauty of this proposal is that we could do that in no time.
@heygeorge - btw., would you see any chance of enabling us to give more than one flair at a time?
We have this new 'Edit Warning' flair, and found that some posts need to be flaired 'NSFW' and/or 'Possible Disinfo' as well, which is currently not possible.
More than one flair? Only in one special case (which is one you asked for): You don't need to add a NSFW flair. Nowadays there is an option in posts to "toggle nsfw" and that will take care of that.
But do you think the maximum number of flairs (no matter which) could be changed to three? There's enough space left in headlines, so this might not be a problem?

I'm glad you guys sorted this out. I didn't want to go Citizen-Narc again today.

I am not aware of a way to flair individual posts multiple ways.

Ok, so we'll have to think about other solutions then.
