To reference the "HELP" topic on the right pane when creating a forum post:

   Give some thought to your post. Posting a single link doesn't cut it.

At what point will we start enforcing this?  It's arguably worse than dupes and is pure laziness.

For starters, no one knows what the links are.  I've seen facebook links used before, which don't bode well for most people accessing from work.  Anyone can place a spam link on the forums, which can become problematic.  I much prefer to see someone quote a few excerpts from an article and then cite it as their source, which I'm fairly certain is the rule.

I'd rather click on a click bait forum title than a link that could fuck up my computer.
