We’ve had some trouble recently with posts from aggregator links like Google Amp, MSN, and Yahoo.

We’re now requiring links go to the OG source, and not a conduit.

In an example like this, it can give the wrong attribution to the MBFC bot, and can give a more or less reliable rating than the original source, but it also makes it harder to run down duplicates.

So anything not linked to the original source, but is stuck on Google Amp, MSN, Yahoo, etc. will be removed.

    On a different topic: It sounds like jordanlund is saying that if he tried to remove the MBFC bot from the politics sub, he might be removed as a moderator, and replaced with someone else, and the bot would come back.

    Is that true? Is the admin team mandating the use of this bot, and if so, why?

      No, i dont get it from where he would get that idea, because see c/politics mods wanted the bot gone and we removed it no question asked.

      @[email protected] if you really dont want the bot here we can remove the bot and shut the bot down ( please consult other c/world mods too )
