Recently we’ve been seeing some pretty obvious spam, which I & others have been clearing out, but there’s also been simple link posts to articles that aren’t quite spam yet don’t have any body text to suggest what the intent is. Presumably to start a conversation, but I’d like people’s input here before I make any firm decisions on the matter.

Would you prefer that we require link posts to have some additional body text to better start conversations, or disallow link posts in favor of the relevant links being only in the body text (i.e. what you’re reading now) that more clearly starts & guides the conversation? Or something else?

Let me know in the replies and I’ll adjust the rules accordingly and make a new locked/pinned post to make these changes more apparent.
