That makes some sense, but I thought Jcorb had been around a while.
You'll notice I remained silent on him; that's because I have no idea what's causing his issue. :)

@MentORPHEUS I get the same
Hey @x-ternal, if you're who I think you are (your bad English gives you away), try this:
-
Pick ONE username.
- stick with that ONE username so the spam filters don't thwart your attempts to talk to us.

Not sure if bug, or delay between user blocking/deleting profile and content disappearing. Twice in the last 2 days I've tried to click on and expand a user's post in the public square feed, only for it to flash and disappear. Clicking the username brings User Not Found message. However the content stays in the feed for a long time after this. Happened with users Jcorb and X-ternal.

@Typo-MAGAshiv Was never a problem of expending more internet coins than intended, but a "Crap, 2 laid back mouse clicks just turned into that plus some keyboard wrangling..."

@MentORPHEUS that happened to me exactly once. I learned to be more careful.

A small detail but one dealt with regularly. On the give coins dialog, the number of coins to give is populated with a zero that, rather than getting highlighted upon clicking into the box and replaced with whatever number gets entered, stays firm as a leading or trailing zero depending on where exactly one clicked. Leading zero NBD but trailing zero is a X10 multiplier for intended number of coins, unless more input steps expended to then remove it.
Double clicking into the number highlights it, but most such entry boxes will highlight and replace in one click.

@redpilled you can provide a paid only forum, access to which is on the basis of a vetting process involving an automatic test and existing members of that paid forum.
Also, if trp.red provides tools for the people running the Tribes to make their own money, they will gratefully pay a cut of that.
Another thing to consider would be, rather than a subscription model, a "lifetime" payment of something that would discourage Sybil attacks and spam, perhaps $1. This would prioritize your responses slightly above those who did not pay the $1. If you have fewer than 10 accounts, $1 for each may be worth it. But it would discourage spam because to try to automatically generate 1000 accounts, most of which will be flagged, becomes expensive. The money from the spammer subscriptions could even be paid to the mods and men reporting spam.
You can even make bounties, or "pre-tip" someone to comment on your post. This has been done in the world of open-source development, e.g. gitcoin. I have a problem, and need advice on it. I pre-pay an amount. If someone solves that problem, I pay. It could even be earmarked for a specific user, say, if I wanted a reply from Whisper. If I didn't like what he had to say, well, too bad, I can earmark for a different user next time. In the unlikely event that Whisper just replied with a '.' or other bad faith behavior, that could be a matter where the mods get compensated for their review work.
In general, if TRP finds anything that users can pay to other users, a business, or vice versa, or anyone else, and help get that flowing, money will come back to TRP.
One thing to keep in mind with any of this, though, is that $1 for a middle class, twenty-something nerd in the USA is very different than $1 for a teenager or for a lower-class guy in India.
Other ways to contribute to TRP, to earn instead of buy, may be worth offering to deal with the need for market segmentation.

@redpillschool using Patreon seems like poor operational security, given their habit of censoring anyone outside the ever-shifting approval window.
