Agreed. The way I see it (if I may be so bold to suggest this)
We all pay $10 (or whatever). Kevin gets money to help run the site and
whatnot, and we get to be moderation-free and instant-uploady. Now, of
course, if someone directs Kevin to some inappropriate content (per the
TOS), and he acts on it, that user should go under moderation and forfeit
their 10 bucks. I think we can all agree that it's pretty simple to follow
the rules.
Now, of course, not everyone has to pay. You could keep your moderated
account for free, similar to LUGNET in that you can post and interact for
free, but you have to pay to be a member and get the extras (rating sets,
set inventories, web page space, etc.).
Of course, this is just a hypothetical suggested plan; I can't do anything
to make it happen but suggest it and hope people follow.
