Bear with me - I haven't had my coffee yet. How about allowing a single subscriber's nomination determine if a non-subscriber's submission is viewable? This way, it would not become like a Slashdot-like moderation system, but allow us to know that at least one paying subscriber authorized this posting to be viewed, and deemed it worthy.

It may still allow for some crud to get through (maybe because the subscriber didn't have enough coffee - or too much ;) ), but might limit it.

I am not a subscriber, but of all the ideas I have seen floated on this topic, this one seems the best to implement. If any are to be implemented that is.
