I'd really like to see a time relevance rule.
Uplifting news from months or years ago isn't what I'm looking for, I want to see the good happening in the world right now.

i think a lot of news from months ago has quite a bit of relevance to the current day, and i haven't seen much posts about things that happened years ago. for the latter case i think it really depends on community sentiment reflected on the comments of said posts.
Where are rules 2 (b), 5 (b) and 7 (a)? Does the star at point 6 represent a joker or a wildcard?
okay this was something I worried about. I made sure to format the list with markdown syntax that would generate HTML for accessibility but it looks like it's just made things more inaccessible. I'll see if changing to headings make it better.
Does it need to be from a news article? Can it be personal news?
it can be personal news, but not something too personal. for example, you got a pet - you are happy - you feel like posting here - but we barely know you - we still upvote because we find you happy - but this news barely affects anyone. if it effects more than 1 tiny (4-5 people) group, that works. for example, a minority group got better rights in so and so region. be it very small, it is not really that personal, and we get happy.
thanks for making this post.
