[closed] bug/error: automatic tinyurl refbacks unapproved

[Geoff]

I've noticed recently some forum threads are having tinyurl linkbacks generated automatically. I presume this is the forum doing it? However these linkbacks are not being automatically approved when they are created and require a moderator to approve them manually before they are visible.

Yeh you can ignore them for now. I will take care of linkbacks in general but there is not point adding the twitter ones. Twitter is the system that is making the tiny-urls.

What's twitter got to do with it?

[Domino]

Oh whats twitter got to do, got to do with it

What`s twitter but a second hand emotion

What`s twitter got to do, got to do with it

Who needs a tweet

When a tweet can be broken

[Geoff]

Just...no.

Its a thing russ setup to feed twitter each hour with a random new thread. Part of that generates the tinyurl to be posted in the edugeek twitter.
