Lately a lot of people in the tumblr forums as well as relevant non-tumblr forum threads have just been linking to posts and letting them auto-embed instead of screencapping or archiving.
Half the time these embeds don't load or load halfway (especially if they're under spoilers or quoted), and considering one of the guidelines for the tumblr forum is "archive everything because tumblr makes it easy for cows to edit or delete posts", I feel like either embeds should be disable or at least make it reportable if caps/archives aren't included.
 
This is a pretty good point.

I've disabled a TON of embed features recently, so I'll disable this too.
 
goes to show you that a fascist dictatorship works, it just works.
 
Good. These are actually even worse than the Twitter embeds because in theory they could be used to expose the IP address of readers.
