      Enforcing the rules of the community.

      "Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

      Post news articles only"

      I mean, it doesn’t get any more plain than that. But I guess it requires people to actually read the sidebar…

          Archive links are expressly allowed by the admins. That came up when they enacted the rule on copy/pasting whole articles.

          I asked specifically because submitting a link through the web UI helpfully offers to generate an archive link.

          My argument was, if we disallow archive links, we should remove that from the web UI. Was told it was fine.

            So then you should remove this part on rule 2?

            Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

            Or you ignored the part of me asking about paywalls

              This reply is even more entertaining now!

              Can’t even read and understand their own rules and assume that everyone else is the problem.
