So we can name sites in article space like antisocialmedia.net but can't have the article link to them? Can someone explain to how this makes any sense at all? Oh, yes that one saved click is really going to make it less harassing.
Thou shalt not harass. If naming a site really is harassing, then it comes under harassment policy. The case has to be made that the specific behaviour of the specific editor with the specifi link is intentionally harassing.
This is in many ways the worst possible combination. We are sacrificing the integrity of article space for an at best marginal benefit.
Article space is not much harmed by the absence of Encyclopedia Dramatica. The point is to get on with encyclopedic stuff. You have split points over two postings that would be better seen together. We are not talking about sites in general. We are talking about sites with the editorial policy I spoke of in the case as "open season on Wikipedians".
