No, in my efforts above, I wanted to emphasize that users must pay to post. If I also said you don't need to bring any money to the table, it sort of breaks the pay to post proposition.
One thing that many people on other forums picked up on was that while pay to post is straightforward, feeding fees into a rewards pool might mess it all up -- at least it certainly makes the incentives messier.
Most people also assume the extreme case: what if some rich user attacks the forum and tries to dominate all the front page? Is there a tipping point where they could make the majority of their expenses back and "short circuit" SN?
