Be draconian. Let the non-subscribers comment elsewhere. Also allow us to filter out bad commenting subscribers with a "never show me this person's comments again" link.

I'd like to second that. And I'd also like a t-shirt saying "I am subscribed to LWN.". Of course, I'll pay for that too. :)

I'll third this. I pay for LWN, and have since the subscription service started. If non-subscribers have a point to make, they can email a letter, or perhaps subscribe.

I know this won't solve the problem, so perhaps some form of moderation or abuse reporting will be necessary. Hopefully nothing as cumbersome as /.'s implementation.

Oh, and I'd like my shirt in XL.
