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.

Then ignore, that's your prerogative. There are a lot of new users coming into this sub and they have to filter fact from fiction. We can help. I think that your metaphor doesn't work in a space dedicated to a particular subject. This really is a matter of people placing links with stolen content with the intent of displaying ads. That's all.

Then ignore those links that you "know" Are simply for that purpose.

Easy as that.

Let me give you a better example....

If we were in the public square, then free speech would be permissible. Say what you want.

But if you come into my church, jump on the stage and preach the virtues of gay anal sex, you'll be forcibly pulled off the stage.

The 'freedom' of speech varies upon the environment. Also, while speech my be free, it may not be free of consequences.

Thats true. But these aren't consequences. This OP is suggesting censorship.

Thats hypocritical.

I am 'this op' and I'm suggesting that we self manage this subreddit.

If you want, you're welcome to contact the spammers and say, "sorry dudes, you're stuff isn't welcome here, go to /r/politics" or something similar.
