Why does this subreddit not enforce a standard of requiring all submissions to include a sufficient legend that describes all necessary aspects expressed in posted visualizations? I feel like this happens a lot, and I’d love for this community to moderate a higher standard of data practices.

Just came here from the recent post about most/least educated states to say the same thing. Something as simple as a legend is so easy to enforce yet there’s so many posts with ambiguous colors, numbers, lines, etc. it makes me want to leave the sub but I haven’t bc there’s some really good posts that are informative and well put together. I would love to see the mods hold this sub to a higher standard!

That post is why I left this comment! I think it’s a good example of a common problem.

Agree! I almost feel like some posters do this on purpose, along with a controversial title. It feels like clickbait.
