Comment on [META] Overseas News - Proposal for increased enforcement of Rule 1

Also, in response to Nath’s advice, I’m considering if the group name should change to Overseas Tidings, yes because of the pun, but admittedly I didn’t even know that word so I won’t go forth with that unless there’s community backing.

I actually don’t know how much that will help. I think the problem comes from the fact that its ID is !worldnews, and no change to the display name can change that.

But I do kinda like the implications of it. The dictionary says tidings just means news, but at least to me it feels like it connotes a greater degree of relevance than “news” alone does. Like “what tidings do you bring‽” seems like a request for “what news that is relevant for me to know?”
