I get that lots of people agree with this, but can we always be critical of the source, no matter if anyone agrees? @dbvapor is on point. Did anyone notice the username that posted this?

Good point. I did see this posted last week though, however I'm unsure of the source then.

I'll add: No comment history, only submissions. The solitary thread I clicked to was also a story on the same site.

@derram Would you consider adding them to your bot? Also, and I've been meaning to ask this, would you add Breitbart? On mobile the site can be hard to read more than a line or two at a time.

Sorry, not here to tackle spammers. That's for /v/reportthespammers or, if it's really bad,ask @atko to ban the domain. My bot already puts a strain on archive.is, I can't start adding random spam sites.

As for Brietbart, I can't add them for ideological reasons. My bot is not for convenience, that is merely an added benefit. My bot is for war, and I won't fire on allies.

Thanks for the reply. I see where you're coming from with BB. But I get have misgivings... They grew out of HuffPo. Why do they get special credit? Is there a list of sites you're at war with?

(Acknowledged: Perhaps I should consider the PM feature for messages of this nature.)

They defend free speech.

The bot originally targeted sites that lied about or banned discussion of GamerGate but has since moved to anything that's on the opposite side of me in the culture war or has run articles attacking free speech.
