Like people have said, pretty much all this would do would be make the major archives no longer major archives, and new archives that allow shipping would take their place. Shippers gonna ship and write fic for it, and there's no way around it.

Personally my pipe dream as far as archives go would not be to disallow romance but to have good, actually helpful tagging. There are some fandoms I like reading shippy fic for and some I only really like gen and it'd be lovely to just go onto a major archive, select 'gen,' and immediately weed out all the ship-heavy fic. Unfortunately it's not really feasible, since a large multi-fandom archive pretty much has to rely on self-tagging and people have different ideas of what constitutes 'gen' (I personally consider it anything where the plot is more important than the romance but the romance can still be present, but I know plenty of people consider it 'no romance at all,' while on the other end of the spectrum I've seen totally ship-heavy romance fics tagged 'gen' simply because there's a B-plot that's not romance).

Tagging is definitely the solution. Then everyone can exist on the same archive, and never see anything they haven't searched for.
