Whitelist for websites

[tripleee]

There should be a way to exempt some web sites from the broad swath of regex which triggers on some legitimate sites but still catches a lot of spam.

For example, in the tcl tag on Stack Overflow, many questions and answers link to tcl.tk which I surmise is the official documentation for the TK toolkit. These are obviously legit, and should be exempt from the regex filter which triggers on everything in the tk, pk, and ir country top-level domains.

Undo my understanding is that the sites member of the rule dict entry lists SE sites where the rule should be exempted, not URLs which should not be matched by the regex ... Are you referring to a different variable, or do I misunderstand how it works? I don't want to disable the rule on SO, I want links to tcl.tk to be exempt on all sites from all rules (there are multiple rules for sites in the tk ccTLD).

Yeah, I misunderstood.

Basic spec: search all existing rules for whitelist variants (and add it to rules which don't have them already), then refactor to refer to a global file containing the whitelist and string format it into the check. Bonus points for adding a whitelist command.
