Hi @hedge@beehaw.org, we’re starting to ask users not to paste full articles in the description or comments, there have been some concerns about this practice and we just want to try and head it off. I have no issues at all with linking to one of the several archive sites that will allow users to bypass paywalls, though.

It’s a CYA thing for copyright infringement. Linking is fine, but hosting (we think) puts us on shakier legal ground, at least from what I understand.

I don’t think that’s necessary, just something to keep in mind going forward.

Consider a summary statement though. Not a big fan of a link with no text.
