News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Can you share those rules? Especially the part that says "voting to arrest no attending members"
Rule 5. Sec. 8. Securing a Quorum. When a call of the house is moved for one
of the above purposes and seconded by 15 members (of whom the speaker
may be one) and ordered by a majority vote, the main entrance to the hall
and all other doors leading out of the hall shall be locked and no member
permitted to leave the house without the written permission of the speaker.
The names of members present shall be recorded. All absentees for whom
no sufficient excuse is made may, by order of a majority of those present, be
sent for and arrested, wherever they may be found, by the sergeant-at-arms
or an officer appointed by the sergeant-at-arms for that purpose, and their
attendance shall be secured and retained. The house shall determine on
what conditions they shall be discharged. Members who voluntarily appear
shall, unless the house otherwise directs, be immediately admitted to the
hall of the house and shall report their names to the clerk to be entered in
the journal as present.
Until a quorum appears, should the roll call fail to show one present,
no business shall be transacted, except to compel the attendance of absent
members or to adjourn. It shall not be in order to recess under a call of the
house.
Wasn't that hard to find, even for a foreigner like me.
The exercise was not to find the rules, it was to post them when making reference to them. It's called "citing your sources". The intent is to support your position was source material so that the discussion doesn't need to be sidetracked. Surely even a foreigner like you could figure that out?
My goal was clearly stated in my reply. Did you read it?
