Pending Automatically try to archive the link before posting it to the page

Archive.is has an api for this.

The only issue I see here (other than server and programming time) is that some pages do not report their title correctly, especially ones that are owned by Verizon Media.

This would also have the effect of rate-limiting unless you did the archiving on your own machine beforehand.

It needs to be opt in or opt out. Sometimes you want to support the site. I know, rarely...but nevertheless while it's amazingly freaking helpful to autoarchive on sites like this, the user should be able to opt in or out with ease.

Or it could be a stickypost in each that has the archive link.

About this sub

If you wish to report a bug, please do so on /s/Poaldev.

The official sub created to allow the Poal community to suggest ideas on how Poal can be improved while at the same time allowing people to comment and vote on suggested ideas.

This will make it easier for people to hear what the community has to say and to keep a record of what people wish for.

Keep your ideas short, if possible, narrow it down to one sentence. Anything longer than that will likely go unnoticed. Be straightforward.
