To reduce some of the superfluous ogling threads, we're introducing this new rule:
– Casual photos (from social media or paparazzi) must have news value in terms of the celebrity's look, their location, their behavior or their company.
Examples of threads that are still allowed:
- Celebrity spotted with new hair color
- Celebrity spotted at recording studio
- Celebrity spotted drunk on the street
- Celebrity A spotted hanging out with celebrity B
Examples of threads that are no longer allowed:
- Celebrity posts random selfie on social media
- Celebrity shows off body part on social media
- Celebrity spotted on the beach
- Celebrity looking hot in random location
If you're not sure whether a thread is allowed, just post it. It will be closed if the moderators believe it does not have enough news value. You will only be warned if you post such threads frequently.
- Celebrity posts random selfie on social media
- Celebrity shows off body part on social media
- Celebrity spotted on the beach
- Celebrity looking hot in random location
if I want to see any of that I can just go on Instagram. That's not newsworthy/threadworthy and always gets the same lame/thirsty responses
I see nothing wrong with it.
And it was made because once again ATRL doesn't know when to stop.
It had gotten to the point where every selfie form a female was posted so fans could comment on how she resembled a fetus and call her "Queen of ____". Then with males it was each member trying to "out vulgar" each other with their post.
