Sorta off-topic...just curious about something.

Would you tolerate the higher level or higher paying customer a little
more? I would think so...

For the pay muds: Maybe a channel or some mechanism for getting their
voice out to the public could be added to their charges.
Example: A high level character has a view that he wants expressed to the
other players. If the topic were somewhat hairy then the character would
think twice about expressing his idea for fear of being banned. Let the
character buy expensive airtime on a public channel with a guarantee of
not being censored. If the cost of the airtime is enough it could actually
add to the business instead of detracting.

Wes!
