Does science need some moderators? I am getting really tired of fluff and PR pieces posted here.

The fluff usually makes it a bit more approachable to the layperson though. Maybe require a link to the actual abstract as well?

I don't want to require anything. Just makes things harder for posters and mods who have another rule to enforce.

If the link to the journal or whatever they original cite is is useful, folks will upvote the comment.
