The internet would be a better place if posting something would take serious effort.

Perhaps this would be a nice starting point for a new version of Twitter or any forum.

I don't think you'll get effort. But you might get quality by limiting the posting rate. Something like 1/day. That's not enough, so you also need to encourage the community to highly regard quality posts, rather than just evocative ones. Imagine Twitter where only moderating, calming tweets are liked. It would be a different place!

It would be a brave, new world. :)

It just means that we would have Dickcarving-as-a-Service by tomorrow afternoon.

Yes, the internet would be a better place if posting spam costs money.
