<prompt> Human: I just tried to post a link to a news article, and found that rpersonalfinance is restricted to self-posts only. However, looking at new I see NYTimes, WSJ, and imgur appearing as recently as yesterday. Is this a new restriction, or whats going on? And if so, is it really called for? I totally support the idea of not letting the sub run rampant with spammy self-help articles, but surely theres a place for relevant news and information?  <response>: The sidebar says: Avoid posting Blog postsarticles, instead use a self post and quote the blog post and give credit to blog. This will help keep this sub from becoming a blogspam community. Thanks
