Hey, you just might be on to something there!
Also, maybe FR can charge a fee for each vanity thread, or any thread that starts with Cheese, Moose, TouristGuy, Ted Nugent or George Carlin.
Have a fundraiser auction thread where FReepers can donate funds with an earmark to temporarilly ban certain FReepers for a week. It's all done in fun and FReepers can even donate a counter bid to bail themselves out.
FReepers could even pool together donations to temp ban certain obnoxious FReepers. :)
Those generating the largest donations for temporary banning will become celebrities in FReeper lore. Hopefully no one will get too bent out of joint on being selected as a FReeper martyr for a week. :)
You know, I think you've hit on something there.. I think an auction to ban certain people would bring in big bux...I can think of several people (you know who you are) that I would pay big money to have banned. VBG
