Culture is downstream from law. While oldfags understand the importance of archive everything, many users still direct link to twatter and other sites controlled by progressives out of imbecilic laziness. Banning posts from these types of sites would foster the good habit of archiving, which both deprives the enemy of resources and preserves a record nominally outside of their control.

I'm in the archive everything camp. It's most urgent in the case of progressive shit holes, but even based sites are in danger of being infiltrated or taken down, either purposely or by the natural life cycle of the internet. So those should be archived as well, even if they're directly linked and the archive is posted in the comments. I don't know if there would be any collateral damage to the community's growth if that were enforced by a rule, so I'm not advocating anything rule wise. This is definitely a discussion that needs to happen, so it's good that it's being brought up.
