TheMusicMan, if you
do get this coded (and it turns out to be a well-featured and non-buggy hack), sign me up for one copy, please - I'd pay up to 15$ for such a mod
I imagine it could have the following basic features:
The main feature would of course be the ability to set up a selceted forum so that users have to pay to start a new thread. This should be group based so that admins and mods (or other selected groups) could be exempt from paying.
An additional feature could be the option of users having to pay to
reply to their own posts and/or threads (bumping the thread). That could be set at a lower price than starting a new thread.
You could of course turn off the ability to reply to your own thread or posts, but it would be nice to have it on sometimes. However, if people didn't have to pay for replying to themselfs, they could just pay for one thread and them bump it indefinately or until stopped by a mod/admin.
Finally it would be nice if the hack was mainly product/plugin based if possible.
What do you think?
