Hey LD
I don't think there's a right and a wrong here, different folks, different strokes, that's all.
Personally I'm fine if I think any reasonable surfer should understand that the link takes them to a place where they're expected to pay to see more. Of course that's a subjective judement, and on my LLs I'm the one who makes it, so submitters shouldn't push their luck.
My "nazi-ness" when it comes to blind links goes in waves. While I used to be a stickler for technicalities I'm much more concerned with sneakyness these days. If I feel the link is intentionally deceptive the site is out, regardless of whether it technically adheres to the rules.
All this said, I tend to play it safe with my own sites. I always include such terms as "Get Full Access to...:, "Click Here For a FREE Tour" or "CLICK TO JOIN" etc. etc. while including the paysite name either in the link itself or in supporting text.
