Addressing the Overwhelming Spam and Scam Issues in this Subreddit

The amount of spam and scams in this subreddit has become an issue that requires a solution. To address this, I'd like to suggest a potential solution:

My idea involves imposing a ban on all links in posts by default and only allowing links on request (whole domain maybe?). We could utilize a bot to manage this process efficiently and maintain a curated list of approved links on maybe a dedicated GitHub repository.

Importantly, this approach wouldn't hinder any users, as those seeking to post unwhitelisted links could simply open a GitHub issue to request whitelisting. Essentially, it functions as a preapproval process that, in my opinion, would introduce less administrative overhead than the current situation. We could even add a substantial number of members to the Github repository to assist with this task as allowing them to approve links doesn't pose that much of a risk.

If the moderators are ok with this or a similar idea, I'd be more than willing to contribute to this.

​

I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this matter, as it's important that we find a way to tackle this problem.
