We have a tier guide. Please use it.

Stop marking people unranked when they are clearly written down as T3 and T4 in the transfer guide. If you see a journalist, you've not heard of before, don't just post them and mark them as unranked if they are working for The S*n in their bio. That source is still banned. That's not how unranked sources work.

If a source is an ITK with zero journalistic background = Do not post.

If a source is not in the guide but works for a publication that is T3 or T4 source = Do not post.

If a source is a T1 or T2 and the post has already been posted or there is zero new relevant information = Do not post.

If the source is new, not in the guide, and the publication he/she works for is a T1 or T2 and it's new relevant information = Post as T1 or T2 depending on the publication.

If a source is new, not in the guide, and there is no publication associated to the journalist (VERY HIGHLY UNLIKELY BY THE WAY) or there are multiple ones whilst providing new relevant information = Post as Unranked. (This particular situation should BARELY EVER happen as the guide is very comprehensive).

Think of this way: “If there is truth to it, our T2 and T1 sources will pick it up.”

If you wish to discuss T3 or T4 news, you may do so freely in our Daily Discussion Threads.
