shentino Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I've been reporting a lot of spam lately that uses sites like bit.ly and tinyurl.com to obfuscate links. I think it would be a good idea for spamcop to keep a list of such "url shortening services" and (automatically or on request by the reporter) dereference them into the links they point to.
