Q:

What's the rule on pastebin use?

If someone pastes something on pastebin or pastie or some similar site and links the result in their question, should I pull that data in?
I've seen people do that for images, so I adapted that practise. I kinda got the feeling that it is preferred to keep all relevant information on this site (especially since other sites may go down, taking the information with them).
Is this even true? If it is, should I continue doing it for generic pieces of output?
I just did that here if someone want's to know what I'm talking about.

A:

I think we should be, it's just like link rot for tutorials. Simply copy the raw content in, and highlight it, pressing the code button on markdown. This will ensure it isn't lost from some pastebin content being deleted after X amount of time. 
Tl:dr: Yes, bring the code itself into your post.
