I posted the previous tweet from Jim upthread and for some reason it was deleted. Possibly the "no 8 chan links" rule was over-zealously applied. Jim Watkins is posting these updates on Twitter, which people link to all the time here.
Anyway, it's a good statement.
Not just links are forbidden.
So are tinyurl and other obfuscated means that link to the site, and all this is true whether presented on FR as a link or as plain text.
I have had posts deleted because the characters 8-c-h-dot-n-e-t appeared with nothing else. The rationale I was given was that is enough to cut and paste and cause the reader to be subjected to the evils that lurk there.
I presume that should some forbidden string of characters appear in a tweet, that the tweet must be adjusted so as to hide the offensive information. Just saying, the tweet may contain forbidden information. I would think that linking to a tweet that links to eight-chan is also forbidden. The fact that the direct link is to twitter doesn't protect it from FR moderation.
The forbidden website is accessible now via IP addy, not by DNS. The site displays, but does not accept posts.
