Yep a penny per post and a penny per swear word. Should clean the place up nicely.
Quizzes could be held on a 'free forum' such as competitions.
Obviously some cheap donuts would invade that forum but would be open to being reported to the moderator and of course p1ss ripped out of 'em for trying to find a loophole to save 1p!

i don't think it would cost referees that much imo. and if it proved to be too costly for them maybe the players to chip in to cover the costs.
i really do not think anyone would be paying more than small change in a week, and if at the end of the year we could see that several thousand pounds went to a very worthy cause it would be a real feel good factor for us all to thibk we had helped St Barts, or a kiddies hospice or something like that - something that nobody would begrudge giving a few quid to.

remember - i'm advocating all the pennies go to charity, not just a betfair charge for posting.

Must be two posts a minute on chit chat alone. - 2500/day. about 1 million a year on chitchat.

That is a v.rough estimate, because from 2am to 8am you might only get a few dozen posts fullstop. Where as some quiz threads will get 1000+ on their own in 2 and a halfhours or so.

1 million from chit chat.

so I would guess something similar (or more?) from horse racing and football. = 3 million. must be at least 5 million/year across all fora imo.

if your calculations are correct positively4street, then maybe 1p is too much. a halfpenny would generate plenty. I only suggested a penny because I thought everyone could spare a few pennies and it would be an easy figure to deduct from an account.

I think we should have price sensitive prciing
e.g like
Ryanair

During uk racing ,say two till five
One penny
Outside racing times

Tuppence

I have worked out that 88.237% of my winnings last year would be used up if this charge is implimented.

Also I doubt in 2010 I could win anywhere near £68,000 :(
