Did you try clicking the link?

Not sure if it’s still there but on twitter they had a system where you’d have to click through before you’re allowed to submit a comment.

HN needs this!

[Meta] so how do you report when the link is not working, or blocked for your geo?

I don’t think they check or can check if you actually loaded the page. So I think they check only that the link was clicked

The system did not prevent you from replying, it just added a warning message and a little friction to doing so.
