Elad suggested choosing a host. I am willing if people want me, but I would need a lot of co-hosts

[The Straight Story]

8. As far as rules, keep it simple IMHO (and a fun idea)

Post stories about news from around the world.

Also, suggest users for Country in title if it can fit (maybe we can get a list of country abbreviations and pin it).

Follow the main SOP about how to treat others.

Allow I/P stuff here as well since it falls under world news (and is very important in the ME). Does not mean it should become a free for all flame fest, but most news stations don't have a separate station just for that


Fun Idea: We have the DU'zy and such elsewhere, maybe something to recognize the posters who post the most, or a weekly 'theme' like Africa - post a story from each country there (or it could all be in one big thread), Italy and post stories from each city, etc and so on.

Jazz it up to keep people interested and others wanting to see what is going on.

A pinned resource thread so new people popping in have quick access to links we often use.

Question: Some places in the world cover things more widely that we put down as Conspiracy/etc (example, UFO's might make a page 1 article in Mexico). Should we apply our views/biases/etc and filter such things out or if it is front page it can be included? Also - should we keep a running list of places we find that we don't want articles posted from (like rt.com or something like that)?
