I think there should be a similar category for threads that start with a post that contain ONLY a link.

Example:

"The most fantastic thing you'll ever read!!!" (Link)

Then I'll know in advance to not click on it. Or at least, that clicking on it will just provide me with a link to something.

Edit: In fact, I can imagine a semi-automated system where there's a button, similar to the "Alert" except that it automatically sends the thread to the Section called "Links"

I'm not saying that people cannot post a thread that contains only a link, just that I'd like to be aware of it before I spend the time looking at it, knowing that I rarely click on links out of DU.

It would be comparable to putting "n/t" in the subject line, where it tells people that they've already seen what they need to see.
