Q&A How can I effortlessly spawn new, unused URLs to the same question on Codidact?

  • I'm not familiar with Reddit. Still, reasoning generally:
  • "nobody ever sees my submitted link" doesn't imply that the behavior isn't in violation of the rules there, let alone that the behavior is ethical.
  • Also, pretty much by your own admission, "nobody ever sees my submitted link" is *at least* an incorrect (and likely outright false) statement, since you also state that there are moderators involved who "forget to approve the link". Disregarding the matter of being able to tell the difference from the outside between "forgetting" to approve something and declining something, for someone to "approve" something, they clearly have to see it first.
  • **If what you are trying to do was acceptable where you are trying to do it, nobody would have bothered to design and implement a feature specifically to block it.** The fact that (in this particular case) Reddit have spent time and money to enable such a block is a pretty solid clue that they do not consider such behavior acceptable, *whether or not* it is explicitly spelled out in the rules as being outright prohibited. Many terms of service also include a general prohibition on trying to circumvent technical barriers, which can also apply to what you are trying to do.
  • At the very least, *trying to circumvent rules shows a lack of respect. That's not something we want people to associate with Codidact.*
  • Absolutely do promote content which is hosted on Codidact, as well as Codidact in general, where appropriate, but in doing so, **respect the rules that are in place where you do.**

I'm not familiar with Reddit. Still, reasoning generally:

"nobody ever sees my submitted link" doesn't imply that the behavior isn't in violation of the rules there, let alone that the behavior is ethical.

Also, pretty much by your own admission, "nobody ever sees my submitted link" is *at least* an incorrect (and likely outright false) statement, since you also state that there are moderators involved who "forget to approve the link". Disregarding the matter of being able to tell the difference from the outside between "forgetting" to approve something and declining something, for someone to "approve" something, they clearly have to see it first.

**If what you are trying to do was acceptable where you are trying to do it, nobody would have bothered to design and implement a feature specifically to block it.** The fact that (in this particular case) Reddit have spent time and money to enable such a block is a pretty solid clue that they do not consider such behavior acceptable, *whether or not* it is explicitly spelled out in the rules as being outright prohibited.

At the very least, *trying to circumvent rules shows a lack of respect. That's not something we want people to associate with Codidact.*

Absolutely do promote content on Codidact, and Codidact in general, where appropriate, but in doing so, **respect the rules that are in place where you do.**
