To rephrase: I don’t mean for other people to post your content. I mean to only allow original posters to post their actual content in the main forum, rather than a link away. Perhaps links can go on the discussion board, but I want to eliminate them.
Right—this is explicitly the plan. (We have tools for allowing bloggers to automatically share posts from their RSS feed onto LessWrong, the tools just aren’t very polished)
Link Posts are basically a holdover from before we had this functionality. Right now I think they’re pretty confusing and it’s probably better to actually remove the option of creating Link Posts until we either make them better or decide to leave them behind permanently.
