[Suggestion] News Articles

Wondering if the moderators could make sure that posts that refer to places/items/money do so properly. Example: In a recent news post it said
"It’ll cost $150 which isn’t that bad.."
could someone change it to:
"It’ll cost $150 US which isn’t that bad.."

Similarly, when people refer to 'The President' can we make it 'The American President' or 'The Russian Pressident' or whatever the correct one is.

Thanks

Excellent idea. I recently noticed a front page news post that gave no idea of where the story was from. It gave town names, but not the region or country, so there was no indication of where in the world it originated from. This is the kind of basic info that should be included in news posts as a matter of course.

I bet you 7335 drachma that even if such an idea is decreed, no-one will uphold it :p

fuck, make me a mod with powers of ONLY changing the bits I've suggested, and I'll happily do it.

I'll see about this, since all the news is pretty much cut and paste it might be a bit hard.
