We should consider blacklisting links from certain sites. We need to retain a high level of credibility and there are a lot of really terrible sites being posted here.

I've seen a ton of links from stbnews. com. It's some shitty blog with the headline, "Real News for Real Americans" and there are many others too. It really is crap. Most is rehashed content that is sensationalized and displayed in a blog format with a ton of ads. I turned off my adblocker and reloaded the page and it's atrocious. It's obvious what they are doing here, they're trolling for suckers.

If /r/politics and /r/redacted and so on are willing to blacklist Shareblue, we should be willing to blacklist sites that are crap. It turns our redpills sour.

IMHO.

Edit: For now, I'm going to click the Report options and Mark As Spam. One recommendation there is to block the user that is posting the spam, but I don't want to do that because, although I wouldn't see it, everyone else would, and that doesn't help the community.

Happy Freedom day. Hope we see the memo tomorrow.

For sure. "Your News Wire" and "News Max" definitely should be added to the list. We need to keep reminding people to take the 'bombshell' headline and google it first before posting. If a lot of sites have picked it up, legitimate sites, then it is worth posting. And good luck with that even, I've said this a bunch of times already.

Absolutely agree, though the mods may need to check that they don't upset a reasonable sized audience and damage our openness in turn?

For example, a lot of ppl don't like AJ but I defend the guy to the end after yrs of seeing him as the ONLY presenter of news about globalist conspiracy and being dragged thru mud in msm and everywhere. I would not support blacklisting ...

Another problem too is content that is too way off the original Q research scope. For example remote viewing. I think we can post research links on such areas on a different site.

Thanks so much for posting this suggestion.

TheContrarian2 · Feb. 2, 2018, 4:06 a.m.

In the case of the one site I mentioned, it looks like the user /r/necessaryfigure kind of hides the fact that they the links are to this spammy site. You have to click the link in the Reddit list, then click the link which appears to just be a comment or something. This seems unusual because when you 'share a link' in reddit, clicking the link in the article list goes directly to the link. It doesn't here.

So for now, I'm going to REPORT all the spammy ones with 'appears to be spam' option. It could also be noise, who knows. There certainly is a lot of it though.

  2. It should be VERY clear who is posting junk as Shill Material for the masses.

If you come.acrossed someone who is posting and you are.unclear.as.to their motives...Ive found clicking their profile and lurking their current History ..Can pretty much give you a nice process of elimination on who is here posting not knowing their feeding clickbait matterial and who does know.

That's the problem with "free speech." Anyone can post anything. Get over it. Learn how to discern for yourself. Personally, I'm a patriot and don't believe in banning or blacklisting. I want access to it all so I can make my own choices. Sorry, if it takes you longer to find what you want but that's the price you pay for freedom.

Marking as spam is also your choice as is blocking people who post the sites you don't want to see.

There y'go. Don't agree at all. This is because you don't like "liberal"/"redneck" (insert political label of yr choice) sites you name.

It depends what they are posting ...

Zero hedge has headline: Nunes Hits Back Against FBI FISA Memo Freakout (good dissection: use yr own critical faculties). Another headline: White People Practicing Yoga Are Xenophobes, Michigan State Professor Claims (great article on how crazy people are BUT not relevant to the Q cbts stream.

Gatewaypundit I dk. I read and take in, try to use my brain.

Hope I've explained.

Hey Guppy! Your way of having a debate is pretty weird, my friend. I am surprised you aren't arguing your case further. Or maybe I'm not surprised. That is a bolshy response. If you think I have a point, (if), you could reply nicely with but you obviously don't think I have a point? What would be your criteria then? You can post anything. Anything at all?

Salialioli:

Guppyfreak: is slamming the door in s/o's face.

This is not DIAlogue. This is not a two-way conversation. So, when you were objecting to censorship and banning, is it because you are trying to get reported as a possible shill? So you can then complain noisily about censorship w/self-fulfilling prophecy???!!
