Lazy speculation posts are rule breaking offenses. Speculation is welcome in the comments of newsworthy posts or in the weekly general discussion and speculation post. Of course market changing news is worthy of it's own post but posts like "What do you think prices will look like in a month" is considered rule breaking.

No editorialized titles. Post title needs to match source title. Leave the comments for editorialization. Source must be included in post.

No non-market changing oil politics. Memes can be removed at mod's discretion.

Crude hydrocarbons only. No snake oil. No weed oil. No makeup oil. No cooking oil. No "relationship" oil. No car oil.
