Aou has decided to censor Amren dot com. You can find his stated reasons for this Here and Here. I disagree with calling the reprinting of articles "spam". Given the terseness of his response to me, as well as the questions he didn't answer, I guess that he considers the matter settled and not worthy of further discussion.

Banning Amren is a popular action right now; archive.org has done just that to avoid "White supremacists" using their service for evil.

It's possible that my concern isn't warranted, but this seems very much to me like when FPH was banned from Reddit-that-was. The reason I love poal is because it doesn't pull shit like this; it doesn't ban sites like Amren. I wonder where this leads. Not even being able to type out amren's URL is inconsistent with the ideal of free speech.

Please only post links to original Amren content, or, if you find an article that they have reprinted on their site, please post to the original publisher as apparently, reprinting stories is now 'spam'.

Who's going to check every single amren link posted here then? :)

What if you fail in doing so and spam continues? How are you gonna prevent spam accounts from starting it again?

Well if you're serious, I couldn't monitor all of poal, but if you allow people to post amren to one sub (the one I just created, or someone else's if I were a mod/janitor) I'll do my best. I don't log on every day, but most days. If it became too cumbersome, or you didn't think I was acting quickly enough you could ban them again.

What does a solution look like to you?
