View submission: Reintroducing the /r/AutoModerator wiki!
Missing some URL-shorteners:
vrl.to 1jl.info labb.in t2m.io clnk.in ## not url-shorteners but can be ## used to bypass url-restrictions link.medium.com medium.com/p/ medium.live go.learn4startup.com amazonaws.com paper.li
I went through and validated each of them with `reddit.com/domain`, and in doing so was able to prune about 1/2 my list. Which brings me up to my next point...
For many of these rules (not just URL-shorteners), the details can change often, and when a new bad-actor breaks onto the scene they can take reddit by storm before each sub is hit and updates their rules. By then, the damage has been done, these guys can just go and spend another $5 for a new domain to use as their linker.
I guess what I'm suggesting/asking for is for these things to be rolled into the new mod tools as a simple on/off toggle, with the ability to include/exclude additional parameters for sub-specific needs. There could be a form for mods to suggest changes, which would be applied in near real-time (after verification). Only 1 rule would have to be updated, instead of many thousands of subs first dealing with the prohibited content, and then getting around to implementing some kind of rule.

Thanks! I'll add those (definitely at least the first group).

That would be great. I can't make that happen, though. I am just a moderator here. You could try asking on /r/ModSupport.
