I had a certain type of link in mind where the link was made to a pit thread against the poster. For example, from the thread titled _New Rules for Great Debates and Elections - January 2020_: > [@New Rules for Great Debates and Elections – January 2020](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-rules-for-great-debates-and-elections-january-2020/845726/1): > > **Linking to Insults.** Do not link to insulting posts or memes either in the BBQ Pit or off the SDMB as a means of getting around the ‘no insults rule’. Under the current system, you could for example make a Pit thread titled “_Max\_S is a fucking idiot_”. Then you could quote every one of my posts. Discourse will automatically append a link that reads “_Max\_S is a fucking idiot_” to every post of mine (or anybody else’s) which is quoted in that Pit thread. I noticed this because **UltraVires** is the subject of an active Pit thread, and whenever someone in that thread quotes **UltraVires** somewhere else, the quoted post (eg: in IMHO or GD) gains a link that reads “_We have a winner for West Virginia’s dumbest lawyer_”. ~Max --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/please-stop-suggesting-threads-for-me-to-look-into/911918)._
