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.
A dedicated source discussion thread for every post would have to be automated and, ideally, link to a source that checks the bias and credibility of the source…
You just suggested what we’re already doing…
People can link their own sources. There could be a dedicated community to keep track. Literally anything is better than the half-assed bot telling everyone what to think.
