If it's a parody article then it should have something in the title too because these days it's harder to see the difference between parodies and actual news;
 
We need more forums for every kind of article: satire, real, entertainment, agriculture, etc.
 
No, and I challenge people to look up the source of any article they see a screenshot of before sharing the screenshot
 
I think parody articles can be fine if they're marked with a tag.

Perhaps a big red one that says "BAIT"?
 
Most A&N regulars are basicly redditors where they just read the title and respond. It's funny when they take the bait.

I don't think that would even work to curb people thinking they're real and sperging. There was a few people in the latest Iqfy article who pointed out that it was parody and all the other posters ignored them and continued their angry tirades.

Maybe a separate thread in General Discussion for satirical sites like Iqfy and the Onion might help? At least then Farmers of A&N might finally understand that it's tongue-in-cheek and not meant to be taken seriously?

Unless they never go into General and only post in A&N... yeah, okay, that's not going to help either 🤷‍♂️
