As for distraction hazards, I have often seen links to TvTropes been posted with a warning sign, both here and in other sites. (Sometimes a plain "Warning: TvTropes link", sometimes a more teasing "Warning: do not click link unless you have hours to spare today".)

Or "Warning: Daily Mail" (or other sites working on the click-troll business model): linking to a site your readers may object to feeding even with a click. Knowledge hazard, in that even when such sites are more right than their usual level they tend to be wrong.

I wish links to Cracked.com also had a similar warning. (Well, now that I have LeechBlock installed that's no longer so much of an issue, but still.)
