If DM spam becomes a problem, How about a client feature where someone can charge a fee to get a DM

I think it can be done at the client level in a way that doesn't matter what client the other person is using.

-Person sends a message to me

-My client autoreplies with an invoice at an amount I set

-that person pays it

-my client then allows me to see message.

Since on his end the payment is entirely through DM, it should work no matter what client he uses.

I have no skills to do this, but what do you guys think?

Good to anticipate the problem. All solutions have pros and cons and maybe a whole range of options need to be on the table and different people can choose. Personally, I wouldn't use that option for a whole load of reasons, but I can understand why somebody might. I would probably shut off DMs altogether if I could and post an email address. If people then want to contact me they can through the normal filters which already work well.

Your idea's a good one, and the more people take it up the more effective it would be for everyone. The amount could even be nominal, but the filtering effect would be powerful.
