Monetizing forum moderation: let users pay for banning othersng

How much would it cost to get IP's and e-mail addresses?
 
This is a terrible idea.
If you want the forum to bring in more money just add cosmetic items. Just look at TF2 and hats, it's essentially the same thing.
People will pay money to add a banner, signature or some other horse shit to make their profile look different. You could even call them Kiwi Ranchers if they pay enough.

Nah, too faggy.
Getting tards to pay huge sums to ban users who'll come back with another account the same minute is the ultimate "milking of the lolcow."

You'll just kill the site. If someone gets banned because lol cash money chances are they won't be coming back even if they can easily make a new account.

The only people who would consistently come back after being pay banned is a lolcow. Most others won't bother and lurk, the more people who lurk the less people who contribute, the less people who contribute the less people want to come.

If you set the price of banning someone to something that isn't negligible for most people ($250 for one week's ban, for instance) you'd get less bans, but more money per ban. It's a balancing act.

You'll just alienate people. What happens when Greta makes a temp account to ban the Kiwi leaks? That's a potential for lost milk and information.
That's just an example most lolcows only have one or two people reporting on the cows. Cows might not have a lot of money but they have even less common sense. I don't doubt for a moment they will refuse to feed their kid or pay a bill just to ban a true and honest fan who reports on them.
