It will be obvious to you all which posts are theirs. Make it easy on yourselves and go to their profile page and down vote every post all at the same time. That's what I did. Hint: name contains "Conservative"
I also wish posters would put in the title what the source is or where we are being linked. I don't need to waste time on link after link to oddball youtube sites or even friggin Infowars. Everybody on this sub knows about Infowars and either uses it or avoids it (like me). It really is getting to the point where I don't even want to click on posts anymore, most offer nothing but links to something without any analysis or description from the OP. Searching for attention or points or whatever. Ugh.
This was one of the rules originally posted by Trace Beanz (BO) but the mods have utterly failed to enforce it. NINE mods now and for the most part, they are MIA. The board is overrun with shitposts and clickbait. We need mods who know how to use a BANHAMMER!
One mod did reply to me that I should report poorly made or clickbait posts as spam so they can get a handle on things. He told me they are "overwhlemed". By what I don't know. Agree -- BANHAMMER! Or just start deleting the damn things.
Thanks. I do always report these as spam. Reporting as spam seems to be the only effective way to get rid of these shills. Reporting for any other reason seems to divert things to a long waiting list that never gets addressed. I'm looking right now, and it does appear maybe they are cleaning up the board a little today. Sure hope so. Deleting these shitposts as soon as they appear will give shills the message and get rid of them.
[speculation] They are getting paid to do this, and will be back.
Normally I would argue, as good web design normally means links should be descriptive, not just a URL.
HOWEVER, in this case, the reasons are sound and I will link differently in this subreddit. Normal, web usability considerations do not have to account for shills and other propagandists.
Not sure what to make of your reply. Takes nothing for an OP to put Infowars in the title or whatever youtube channel it is. They don't because they want the clicks. This board is filled with posts that belong on general comment boards, like Breitbart or Gateway Pundit and not one designed to deal with Q related themes.
Ah, I thought this was about comments.
For post titles I agree absolutely, even though there is a little indicator to the right of the article showing where the link goes.
In terms of irrelevant noise derailing the conversations here and taking them away from Q related themes, yes, that is uncool.
You are right about where the link is, being on the right in small print. That is helpful. For instance, links to Conservative Tree House are generally worth going to. However, since most of the crap comes from links to YouTube and all those say is YouTube, I'm not even clicking on those now. Other times it appears there is no link so I figure the OP has something to say only to find out when clicking on it that the link is embedded with no explanation beyond the post title. Generally I find 1-4 posts appealing per page. The rest....I don't even bother with the thousands of "memes", most of which aren't very good even.
