You Too Can Be A Newsvine Censor

Let me start out by saying that I am against censorship in all of its forms. People should be allowed to speak. People should be allowed to say whatever they like. Certain places have rules, such as Newsvine, but those are community rules.

Meta: An article about articles that aren't articles.

Look, I long ago tired of meta articles. I think they're necessary on occasion, and I know there's still a band of oldbies and even some newbies who like to keep things straight in Newsvine.
