There is already a mechanism for reducing noise (flagging).
You said yourself, 98% of users are lurkers. A price increase would make this figure worse.

I think they don't even know how much it currently costs to post something.
I see lurkers as visitors who aren't registered so they can't post anything, anyway.

True, lurkers are not signed in. And we'd only be increasing posting costs, not commenting cost.
