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.

    It really is strange that all of my recent (meaning, last hour or less) comments to you would go negative right after I brought it up, including in a chain of comments that goes 15 deep. It’s almost like someone lost an argument, got butthurt, signed into an alt account and downvoted the other person. I wonder who would do something like that… could it be the same person who I called out for doing this same exact thing in the past, where they downvoted my comments far below where most people would care to interact?

    Nonetheless, if I have to take 2 downvotes here and there, it’s fine, because it will never reach your 50,000, alt accounts or not.

      Well, I don’t have any alt accounts and I haven’t signed out, so I don’t know.

      But like I said, downvotes don’t matter to me. Don’t let them get to you either. Thank you! :)

        Uh huh, I totally believe someone that posts propaganda day-in and day-out only has one account. Surely a propagandist vote manipulator would never make it as obvious to downvote someone’s deeply nested comments into the negative minutes after that same someone pointed out the huge, unbelievable amount of downvotes the propanda poster had, because that would be quite the coincidence. They would never be that stupid, right?!

        I’ll be fine, true, because I will never be able to match your 50,000 downvotes even if I tried as hard as I could. It’s a feat to be so universally disliked.
