I think overtime we'll get to the point we don't outright chuck someone out for something they said in history. Our jails are already full We'll have to stop at some point because too many people have things they've rather not have out there publicly accessible and there will be some major event in the future I'm sure some of us will have to eat humble pie. When enough people are impacted, maybe then they'll stop treating computers like a fun toy and realize that it's a tool like anything else. It's fun and games at Christmas swinging a brand new sword to see what it can hit, but often people forget that tool can hurt them too when it's misused/abused.

Regarding archiving, the point is to have a complete and authentic record to refer to, not necessarily for widespread distribution. I don't even think through the website it's very easy to pull up that information. I think one must have the original link to find it. So the archive is only meant for those who go to click a link and find the information is no longer there. (That's why archives exist) A screenshot is actually easier to spread around than a link if anyone wanted to do reputation damage... that's how to best do it. It's 1-2 click upload (just about) and then essentially it's everywhere after that. Whereas an archive, people must click a link and as we typically see, people aren't always keen to check an actual source.
