Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Gotcha. I understand your point of view, I just think maybe they can do both? Protect their liability against being sued for safety on the workplace and at the same time reduce the risk of their employees getting hurt.
Yeah that's all we ask. I understand why they want to ensure products aren't being stolen, but I also feel like they could be doing significantly more to ensure colleagues aren't being intimidated and assaulted.
Of course, the best way for staff to feel safer is if customers stopped being absolutely dickheads, but we seem to be going on the wrong way on that front.
Oh man, I can imagine. I don't understand what goes through some people's heads.
