Spaw, I had a different vision, Chicago-style. Very simple, too. Anyone who wants to start a thread pays a thug (person with edit button) for protection. Break the knees (delete the post) of any interloping miscreants. Enterpreneurial moderators. No more volunteer, helpful, friendly JoeClones. Nuh uh.

Or you could see it kind of as "be my punk bitch" like in prison. Max could authorize (cookie) people to keep order that way, too. Cuz folkies is... BAADDDDD.
