Remember how well stock market volume correlates with common index values?

Yes, and the posting volume correlates with market performance usually, although we're seeing growth in excess of that. I attribute it to a known brand finally starting to get its tires back on the road again.

Let me toss out another idea: How about giving the "justice" function to a panel of posters you regard as fair-minded or equally divided politically but willing to be fair. Complaints go to them.

Benign Dictatorship is the only Admin model that has ever worked in my experience.

But this is only because you have set it up that way. Give them full site access (maybe keeping the 5 post/day limit) but stick them with ads and quote those ad eyeballs to your advertisers.

Being able to participate in non-market discussions is a perk of subscribership and we want to keep it that way. If people want to post for free, they can, so long as they're contributing content where our dollars are made.

And you might even be able to attract non-market advertisers with this ploy.

With few exceptions, we don't WANT to attract non-market advertisers. Finance is the highest-paying advertising sector.
