We’ll add this to the [New Rules for Politics and Elections – January 2020](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-rules-for-politics-and-elections-january-2020/845727) thread for P&E if we keep it.

BTW: Incidental, @Aspenglow besides doing all the heavy lifting for this new rule made a good suggestion. I’m going through and adding a new tag: #sdmb_rules-and-notes  
This will make it easier to find rules and threads about adding tags or using images.
