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.

    If it’s usually ignored isn’t that a sign to remove it because it provides no value?

      It’s definitely as value, it provides clear markers for other users before mods can intervene.

        It generates a lot of noise in a thread like this, but it’a largely ignored in practical use.

        provides clear markers for other users before mods can intervene.
