Moderators: please add [paywalled] or [$] to paywalled content so I can ignore instead of wasting time. Thanks.

  Please post the whole rule. You neglected this bit: > It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds. Where's the workaround? I don't find workarounds for WSJ. WSJ is locked out. Please post the workaround, or kindly stop badgering people as it is not productive. If there is no workaround that allows us to view WSJ articles, then WSJ article are NOT allowed here, per the rules you yourself selectively cited. The rule about paywalls are that paywalled articles must come with a workaround, and that people should not post complaints about paywalls. His post did not complain about paywalls themselves nor does mine. He requests that paywalled articles be tagged as such, a much more relaxed rule than the official rules which are that paywalled articles without workarounds, such as WSJ articles (unless someone would like to post a legal workaround allowing us to view WSJ articles), are not allowed.

    If you don’t know how to workaround WSJ paywalls then ask someone - the rules allow for that. They didn't ask - they just complained. Or pay up and subscribe to the WSJ!

      "Moderators: please add [paywalled] or [$] to paywalled content" That is asking.

        No, ask them for the workaround we mean.

If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread. They did in this one. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix&page=0&query=by:dang%20paywall https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
