Improvement
v1.2 — AI images and edited screenshots
Added
- Rule: images presented as news must say where they came from. Unsourced "photos from the scene" are removed until a source is given.
- A pinned guide on spotting AI-generated images: odd hands and text, too-perfect lighting, and no other outlet carrying the picture.
- Moderators add a short "Unverified" reply to viral images instead of deleting real members' posts straight away.
Why
- An AI-generated flood photo was shared 400 times from our group before the local fire service denied it.
