Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's such a shitty airline anyways, had bad experience both times (issues because of carry on luggage, name on ticket etc) - not directly to me, but this always caused delays on my two flights, one of which required them to unload cargo again. I only used them because they were the only one flying a certain connection, they weren't even particularly cheap; but after the second incident, I just used a different airport because I'm not putting up with such a shitty airline.
Can I also fine Ryanair for their unruly rules?
Interesting coincidence: Ryanair raises its fines right after the EU eases compensation rules for delayed flights. Almost like they were waiting for it.
Interesting indeed. In Australia, a company cannot 'fine' any citizen.
Those carpark fines at Wilson's parking, etc. Totally illegal. Proven again and again.
What really irks me is that ConnectEast/Transurban somehow get away with it. If you miss a $2 toll they'll get the police to send you a $150 fine for it.
What's worse is that their systems actively block you from paying the toll afterwards.
Actually, the most fucked thing above all is these companies are using government resources to protect their revenue stream whilst paying zero taxes.
I almost copped the fine once in a brand new car that I hadn't assigned my tag to yet. The only reason I managed to dodge the fine is because Transurban had me fly from Melbourne to Sydney with zero notice to oversee the deployment of their air quality monitoring systems in the M5 tunnel. Because, ya know, they couldn't open the tunnel unless it was operational. I was driving to the airport at 5am. For them.
They can ban you from using them as a business, which is often what these fines are about.
A lot of clinics have failed to attend fees which are pretty much kept not to ever collect, but prevent that patient ever booking again.
RyanAir won't let up with these constant attacks on Lance Stroll.
Knowing RyanAir they’ll treat it like an extra. Taking too long to put your bag away, unruly, fine. Going to the toilet more than once, abhorrent, fine.
