Yeah. I woke up at 2:30am and couldn't get back to sleep and removed a bunch. There has been more than usual overnight.

Is it possible to autospam bit.ly links? I don't think normal users use these shorteners.

I'm sure there are some kind of automated systems, but there are people whose job it is to use cut-and-paste.

I was going to call you in to this conversation when I got home. Thank you.

You're welcome. Rules have to be separated by exactly three dashes. I added the rule to politics and news. I will monitor to ensure they're working. Let me know if you want any help.

Yeah. I don't speak computer. I know how to click on "remove spam". I'll dig around and see what I can do.
