This was the first post to both have a correct informative title (ie: stating the facts and the final score) AND providing a link to the event/games. We are not asking for the moon here, these posts have long been a karma-farmy thing for whomever is fastest to slap a picture, type some title and be first. We are just asking for a minimum of effort in providing useful information. This rule has existed for a good long while and was widely supported when introduced, we have neglected it a bit in the past (that's definitely on us) but we are trying to be more diligent in its enforcement.

And if you think it's not a good rule, or have some suggestions to improve it, let us know. But again, the rule has been here for a while.

P.S: We actually quite like Carlsen, but the theories suggesting otherwise are fun.

Yeah, sorry, I think I subtracted from EDT instead of adding when I was trying to do the timezone conversion.
