View submission: New feature: AutoMod will create sticky comments on link posts that link to Archive.is archives of the link

How will it handle those stupid, stupid google urls leading to non-google pages?

Are you talking about the links when someone copies a url from a google search? I'm not entirely sure, but I think Archive.is will automatically follow any redirects before archiving the page. So the link in the sticky comment would still say "archive.is/.../www.google.com/...", but it the archive *should* be for the correct page.

I'm not sure if our current AutoMod rules even allow for those to be posted (reddit I think blocks them, but we have some things reddit blocks automatically approved.)

Can you try making a post with such a URL? If it's a problem, I can tweak the code.
