Anyone posting links to any sites that sell or link to sales of fenbendazole risk being perma banned. Please go through your history and remove your links.
Some users with 1+ year old accounts are sharing the same link a rash of sub-month-old sock accounts were hyping up a month ago. The site contains an amazon affiliate link, facebook link, and telegram link. Three obvious red flags!
Let it be known we are not installing telegram or joining facebook to police links so if you don't want to be banned DO NOT LINK TO THEM. We may assume on face value of a report that it is spam, self promotion or a honeypot.
Further clarification, here are some dummy links as an example.

Don't post sites that contain affiliate links such as the first two examples. Most sites you land on with amazon links are affiliate links. They're often algorithmically generated like review sites or best [insert product here] of 2023. Even if you don't buy what they linked to, they still get money if you make a purchase on amazon after clicking those links.
DID I SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE ABOUT FENBENDAZOLE?
This is about links and sock accounts hyping shit up for sales.
The bit about being permanently banned over it musta thrown me LOL
Links have been posted on where to buy ivermectin too
Don't ban me, I won't be posting any info about either medication. Take it easy man
I have to agree with CQVFEFE here. For 3 years, we've had people posting all sorts of alternative options for dealing with not only COVID hysteria, but cancers, general health, etc following the Q "hidden cures" line. These people posted this stuff with no intention to mislead or to profit, but to make people aware of how to get around an overbearing federal government and medical technocracy. There was no attempt to violate site rules and those people posted such content freely, for years. Personally, I spend a lot of time here debating these folks because I don't think the evidence is as sound as they think it is, but there are those who swear by it, and this is the kind of discussion this site is here for.
If you impose a drag net, you're going to catch people who aren't the spammers you're trying to deal with now.
I would respectfully request that the mod team take this into account when designing a countermeasure for the latest problem. If this is a recent phenomenon, don't run a bot that scrapes the whole site, just recent posts within the time frame in question, and consider either manually evaluating the one-off posts or letting them slide. If it's people spamming, that should be easy to identify with the repetitive posts from the same IP.
Agree!
I think it's the title that is triggering people. One can grammatically break down the title from "Fenbendazole Links, Facebook Links, Telegram Links, Amazon Links = BANNABLE" to "Fenbendazole Links = BANNABLE" by removing commas and the other independent clauses.
A title with clear wording about affilate links being the issue, (while not mentioning Fenbendazole or anything specific) leaving the details to the body of the post maybe going into details about evidence showing bot accounts targeting fenbendazole affiliate links in particular would have been more palatable to some.
i really really appreciate this level of clarity. also its 'palatable'
Yeah I can't fix titles, only bodies.
"Fenbendazole links... = Bannable"
I mean you specifically singled that out. Not sure why the surprise, nor the attitude towards people.
This is about links and sock accounts hyping shit up for sales. ---- thanks for that reply i understood it fine.
