Oh, damn, I forgot to mention it. Most of the credit should go to /u/JU5TIN_HERGINA, who's been pushing for something like this for months. He wanted something a bit stronger, a full ban on MSM articles, but I prefer this method, and it has the side effect of encouraging us to archive pages that might "mysteriously disappear" from the internet.

It's a practical compromise. I'm sure many here will take advantage of the "leverage" it will give us as far as denying traffic to less than noble media platforms.

I'm curious to see its effect on users here that post only to drive traffic to their sites. Maybe it will cause them to focus a little more on the quality of their content instead of focusing on how to manipulate traffic.

I just wanted to add that it's a good way to archive images as well.

What a terrible idea.
