I started to notice some people posting NYT, Bloomberg or other websites with hard paywalls, that leads to people in the comments that are unable to read the article to discuess the headline without any analysis and some times spreading misinformation, which cannot be countered by the article, due to the paywall.

Which bring me to this: Why does no one thought about blocking hard paywalled articles for the sake of quality of discussion?

    Banning anyone who posts inaccessible shit isn’t a blanket rule, it’s mere common sense.

    If it’s inaccessible it’s spam, and spam is intolerable by definition.

      But it isn’t inaccessible for a lot of people, who either pay for it or bypass the filter.

      Not everyone owns every video game. Should we ban discussion on video games?
