@ChangingPerspectives: I will remove the flair, as the title adequately describes the content, and link post don't require a description in a comment (although we always appreciate a short summary of the linked article).
Yeah...I think the policy about direct-linking got confused yesterday. We've had people submit Link posts that direct-linked to PDFs and Google Docs with very uninformative titles and no warning they were being sent to potentially dangerous links. As this one just goes to a website and has a decently descriptive title, it's okay as is.
I think the others could be get a security flair and be left up as long as the title clearly describes the content and relevancy, or removed if it does not.
im obviously iutnumbered on my view about no links in title. That and first link require basic description. My apologies for grammar and syntax....undrgoing technology upgrade...
It's not that we disagree with you, Blacksmith. It's that we have to make that an explicit submission rule, which is a change the whole community has to approve. Hopefully the new voting feature will be online soon and we can put it to the test. :-) Until then, we have to stick to the rules as written, and Voat allows Link posts.
