Reposting because the title that *the ABC fills in* was deemed as altered.
E.g. this isn’t an altered headline:
>’Good character’ evidence for NSW offenders in sentencing to be scrapped
It has come from the page itself.. And is saying the same sort of thing.
Can whichever mod that does this deletion take a look at what the content of the page has in it before these deletions?
It just means every time you do a submission you have to copy and paste the visible title on the page in case the ABC has an alternative it has out into the page metadata that gets used by reddit to auto populate the title.
Good. They should get rid of the I “spoke to my pastor” bullshit as well, there is no real evidence for gods and religion has no place in courts of law.
Good character evidence could give the appearance of offenders using their status and connections to obtain leniency
Appearance? It was all it was literally used for lmao
