(This list is obviously incomplete, but it will get expanded when necessary)

- No racism, antisemitism, dehumanisation of minorities or glorification of National Socialism allowed;
- No posts linking to mis-information funded by foreign states or billionaires.

- They better put something nice into that envelope - it seems unnecessarily expensive /s
- That's not how you use β¬ - it's a unit of measurement. It belongs at the end like you would say it. That's so American for something called france24
That's not how you use β¬
The whole article is in English so it makes total sense to use it they way they did. The β¬ sign doesn't determine where it goes, the language does. In Dutch it would also be β¬10, not 10β¬.
2β. That's not how you use β¬ - it's a unit of measurement. It belongs at the end like you would say it. That's so American for something called france24
According to the EU Interinstitutional Style Guide this is the correct way of doing it. http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-370303.htm#position
The default is for English because the document is in English, if you switch to another language the order below is reversed.
Position of the euro sign (β¬) in amounts
The euro sign is followed by the amount without space:
a sum of β¬30
NB: The same rule applies in Dutch, Irish and Maltese. In all other official EU languages the order is reversed; the amount is followed by a hard space and the euro sign:
une somme de 30 β¬
Doesn't the British do the same with the Β£?
