perhaps both

probably the latter

they said they cannot ship it

I didn't want to use DHL

understandable, it's fucking expensive to ship via DHL

how long ago did you place the order again?

uhhh

2019-01-20

they delayed the processing until the final day

@PoliteSuka so what is best.aliexpress exactly

Someone should try contacting their live chat service and ask em about it

Also @porco I may have accidentally clicked on a best link earlier today so I can give you a example

Thought nothing of it at first

Since their site is so horribly broken

Ah so s. links will always now redirect you to best.aliexpress

if it's sitewide, then it cannot be a single affiliate

The mobile app makes s.links

Otherwise that'd be a huge site fuck up for alibaba

Referrals also use s. links

s would be their url shortening service

They're indistinguishable

Porco's bot is currently undergoing training to strip s.links and mobile links by replacing them with correct product links without the referral

Excuse me dear that was my idea/suggestion

Please credit

@Matthew ideas guy

It's already deployed for s links

I'll take a look at these best links on the weekend

@porco Nice. Good feature, pig.

I think it can do without the explanation/attention text thing

Yeah, I feel like the "Cleaned message from" is enough

Maybe something more along the lines of "Referral-free link from"

Maintains clarity on what it's doing, but cuts a few lines from chat.

It can be even more succinct and say " @Matthew shared..."

Eh, I'd stick with saying what it's doing if it's going to include a message at all.

I mean, we're all fairly intelligent here. Most would be able figure it out.

I like the warning because not everyone is here 24/7 and rule awareness is quite low here

I'll check out Ali ski, Ali best and Desktop aff links this weekend so they get filtered, too. But really, if you want to do me a favour, just write an issue on github so I don't forget the stuff

I like the warning, I just feel like you can roll the first two lines into the third to save some space.

But, significantly better than we had it before either way, so much appreciated!
