Exclamation TGP/MGP owners. Your opinion please (conditional page redirect)

Just installed my anti-hotlink script on a customer's server and while discussing the various setup options we felt the need to ask for a confirmation from the MGP/TGP owners.

In some few cases, if the script detects a "possible" attempt to exploit/by-pass the hotlink protection, instead of serving the page/movie it will generate a simple HTML page, with nothing on it, except a link saying "Click here to continue". When the surfer clicks on the link, he will be taken to the previously requested page/movie. The "click to continue" page is a one time thing for that surfer.

This is an option I encourage my customers to enable, since it makes the system 100% secure to hotlinkers but the big question he (we) have is : Is it/will it be considered as "cheating" by a reviewer that may end up seeing that "click me" page?

The page is generated by the script and as I said before has no ads or js or anything else on it except a pure link.

I can PM you the conditions that will trigger such an action, but prefer not to put it in public

PS. : The customer did not want to risk being black-listed or anything so I have turned that feature off, untill we are sure it is ok with the major MGP/TGP owners.
