    I’ve seen a few Wayback links to comment threads in the modlog used as ban reasons (which is kinda genius since it puts things into context) but why do people do that outside of that reason?

      For Sunshine out of the 17 only one is a direct save by a user (on November 10). All the others are automatic crawlers or captured via “outlinks” where not only the website (such as a post or the /all feed) is captured, but also everything it links to (at least in theory).

      You can see how it was saved by going to the calendar overview and hovering over November 10 and then the hour, and above the calendar it will display the reason/source as “(why: save-page-now)”
