This might be a more controversial view, but I think the moderation team should consider looking into limiting what qualifies as an acceptable post from Twitter or similar status-post social media. There is no reason a shitty opinion soapboxed from McMurphy's twitter account should be seen as acceptable as a standalone post, but using the same opinion as a text body from a user would readily be removed.

For similar reasons, a tweet that links to the article and used as a teaser for it shouldn't be linked, but rather the article itself regardless if it's a paywall or not.

There is some good content such as videos or image galleries that are reasonable posts because they would need to be rehosted elsewhere before being shared, but texts posts from twitter or otherwise don't require such difficulties, and sometimes are as terrible content as what is already disallowed.

I've been shouting this for ages. It's my biggest peeve with /r/CFB

Fun fact, both linking original sources and not editorializing titles are explicitly listed in the reddiquette that people refuse to read.

My issue is that the mods delete plenty of posts that I view as informative, only to allow posts that are just links to tweets that are just links to articles. If they have time to delete that other crap, they have time to enforce direct links to articles.
