I clicked "Open link in Incognito Window" on Chrome, and it worked for me without signing in, FWIW.

My problem may be that I'm on an iPhone.

Chrome on iPhone has an incognito mode, btw.

You can click through the damn message, but yes, its annoying. How many times can I say "I don't want Google+", and yet I still get "Your profile has been suspended. It appears that the name you entered does not comply with the Google+ Names Policy." Ironic that this crap occurs for this link.

I actually could not click through.

That's even more annoying. What is Google+ for? I totally don't get it. My anti-social tendencies don't help (as in I'm not a sociable person, not that I burn down kindergartens), but I can understand the attraction of Facebook despite not using it. What is Google+ for?

It is for collecting data.

Try completely clearing your cookies perhaps?

I think G+ sees the cookie and forces a login. Google Groups does the same thing, and it drives me insane.
