I wish the mods would make it clear what is appropriate for breaking news.

I usually post polls like this within minutes of them coming out, but the other day some random “admin moderator” took all the latest polls I had posted in breaking out and said

“Would you please quit posting everything to Breaking News?”

I wish it was clear what exactly is appropriate to post in breaking news

I saw that the other day. Until they explain that then it will always be hit or miss. You are doing fine.

It’s a “fine art” posting in Breaking News and to have it stay; always use it sparingly. ...All I’m going to say. :^)

Every news story is “new” when it first comes out. If you look at what has historically appeared on “breaking news”, it’s been things that were significant events, like a nuclear plant breaking, or a big shooting, or a major announcement by a candidate.

Breaking news is when something out of the ordinary is taking place. Polls are part of the political season.
