I think your idea is terrible. I post a lot here, never spam, so why should I be penalized? It’s easier to alert the moderator or ignore it. There already is a place here for people to pay to post. It doesn’t need to fall into the mainstream part of this web site.
Suggestion To The Moderators To Rid This Site Of Spam
The amount of movie etc. spam in the discussion forums is absurd to say nothing of ridiculously annoying. Here is a suggestion to stop this. Charge everyone a small sum to post, say $1-5. If anyone post spam, keep the money. If the moderators deems a post worthy, i.e. not spam, refund the cost of posting, say, once per week/month.
The above idea is not entirely original; Bill Gates once suggested charging everyone 1 cent to send an email. This would automatically disable the mass email spammers.
