I would very much like to see a small tag indicating paywalled content. It is easy to tell that NYT, WSJ etc are paywalled, and some even allow free viewing, however scientific papers and academia seem to have a higher proportion of such sites. Since this community is pretty STEM centic, a lot of papers, journals, and smaller subscription sites are posted here. If users could simply "tag as paywalled" it would be a timesaver and a rather nice feature. Thanks.

HN generally eschews tags, and I fear having to maintain this (edit: I mean manually). But we'll think about it.

>>dang+x3
It could be an optional tag like [dead] or [flagged].

But those are automated. I've added "manually" above to clarify why I fear this.

Would it be practical to introduce a tag system which lets each user manage their own list?

>>jeo123+T4
You can do this yourself with a userscript

This would be my preferred option.

I've got a specific use case that's not applicable to most HN readers - here in .au Popular Science links are useless - they do a geo redirect based on your ip address, which redirects me to the homepage of the .com.au version of their site, which in general doesn't even have the original article available...

I'm not sure how configurable userscripts are, but I'd love to add this.

I don't really want to write RES for HackerNews, but it's an interesting project for the last week of my holidays.
