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.

      There really are very few of them if your posts are staying in the negative like that. You’d think you protest voters would be able to at least help eachother out, but I guess that’s why third parties will never have a chance under the EC.

          Don’t worry, that’s evident by your account approaching 50,000 downvotes in two months. You don’t need to say such obvious things.

            Crazy, right?!

            But I guess if I’m getting that many downvotes, some people are seeing me. Enough for me to get all those downvotes. And they are interested in me enough to not block me!

            That’s interesting. Thanks for the shoutout! :)

              Trust, I know that you’ve got a major case of main character syndrome, but unfortunately it’s not that a lot of people are seeing you, it’s that you post so much propaganda and spam that it really starts to add up.

              I mean, right now you’re averaging 13 downvotes for every submission and comment you have. 473 posts, 2890 comments, and about 45,000 downvotes total, and that’s all in the last two months since you created your account here. Those are some insane numbers. That’s like a downvote every two minutes for the last two months.

                  You should totally keep them updated as they increase. Not only for me, but also so people immediately see how much of a main character you are.

                    Good suggestion. I actually don’t keep track of those stats, but since you do, could you update me regularly on them? Thanks for your help! :)

                Doesn’t bother me at all.

                In fact, if people are getting so worked up just because I go against the status quo, that means I must be doing something right!

                So thanks for the stats—I may even add that info to my profile! (EDIT: Profile updated.)

                Feels pretty awesome, actually. Thank you! :)

                  Now you’re using direct Trump quotes on top of just having main character syndrome? Are you Trump himself, or just following in his footsteps?

                  Either way, it makes my job easier if you add it to your profile. I’ll still post them because most people avoid your profile altogether.

                  This is a pretty standard far-right talking point, but makes no sense. By this logic, every serial killer and rapist must be “doing something right” just because they are going against the status quo and people don’t like them.

        Hmmm, as of right now, your comment is negative. Strange how things turn out sometimes.

        But of course that wouldn’t stop you, right? Just like it won’t stop me.

        Why would it? Downvotes aren’t really important.

        I just post the links to articles, I don’t write them, so downvotes don’t affect my life at all. Nor should they affect yours. Thank you!

          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.

                  Nah, just kidding. I fully believe that’s exactly what you just did, and that you tried to gaslight me over it. Sorry, I know comprehension isn’t your strong suit, I shouldn’t joke with you like that.
