I'm not sure I made it clear enough to begin with that this isn't an idea that was hatched by team hubski, or even discussed. It was just a thought I had as a hypothetical exercise. I appreciate the comments, however.

    When you require people to pay to post, they may feel entitled to post whatever they like: it's their right, they paid for it.

That's a good point. Although you'd be surprised at the level of entitlement some (though by no means many) people display even when they're not paying. This could tip it to the point of being unbearable. I don't think you'll find too many people round here interested in customer service. Well, maybe thenewgreen would get some weird pleasure out of it. He's a people pleaser.
