That's what I did. But it's inconvenient that I had to do that. the np feature shouldn't be there to begin with. They are wasting my time, I just wanted to browse Reddit. Now I have to go looking for the original link myself, just to avoid getting banned for voting. It is off-putting and it does tell me that they don't want me to use the site. If you see it differently then that's fine, but I found it very irritating.

It's useful when linking from other communities, to avoid disrupting it with outsiders.
E.g: a post from r/books is posted on r/bestof, you don't want to screw up the votes etc from books by people who do not normally browse it, but come from the front page.
