Nov 10, 2013 at 19:28 comment added Duncan Jones Amazing how many of these short links are used to evade the jsfiddle code restrictions.
Nov 10, 2013 at 2:43 comment added Michael Hampton adf.ly should not be present at all; those are without exception all revenue-generating links. Well, of those five, four were questions about the adf.ly service; only one had inappropriate adfly links in it...
Nov 9, 2013 at 19:48 comment added Bernhard Barker @JoshC "More reliable links" - yes, that makes sense - we're already dependent on whatever site we're linking to, we don't want to be dependent on another site unnecessarily.
Nov 9, 2013 at 19:45 comment added Bernhard Barker Blacklist them and someone write a user script to convert them automatically (for future posts)?

Nov 9, 2013 at 18:51 comment added Duncan Jones This has been tried before.... Some useful links in the comments.
Nov 9, 2013 at 18:28 comment added Josh Crozier I agree.. I'll clean some up. But what's the purpose of such a clean-up? It is for indexing purposes? More reliable links? Or is it because shortened URLS look like spam? As for cleaning them up, do you just swap it out for the absolute URL?
Nov 9, 2013 at 18:18 comment added Richard Tingle Burn them! Burn them all! ....Ahem I mean I agree
