Tagging the paid links is an easy compromise that doesnt result in banning anything. However, it does make me wonder, if the publisher effectively banned me from their content, why should there not be a quid pro quo on behalf of the drivers of clicks. Does anybody know of any instances where a publisher acknowledges that HN sends a fair bit of traffic their way, and when a link is referred via HN it bypasses the wall entirely? That would be smart, and respectful.
