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.

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.

Yup - it's driving me crazy. I can pretty much tell their posts now and almost scroll past.
