  I don't know if I have the heart to tell Arkady that they didn't actually create an account, but are still subject to our fees as they deigned to email the staff help line. If Arkady notices, I'm willing to knock the $100 off and just charge the $10. Arkady, are you reading this? You should be.

  Nico emailed me back. Silly Nico. /me adds $10 to processing fee.

  @jaz@toot.wales I think this kind of thing would be very successful as a service/component fronting every single page on a site, perhaps integrated with the now mostly-useless bot checking captchas etc. Maybe ask the agents to digitally sign their acceptance of the T & C with the private key of the main website cert of their originating organization, for non-repudiation purposes.

  @jaz@toot.wales Any paywall would probably be enough to block them, but I think you're selling them access too cheaply. (Of course, you could also charge a $1000 per post fee to have it distributed beyond the bounds of their account on Local, and $10,000 to federate.)
