Okay, here's my problem with this. When a new user comes to WoP, sometimes, and most times, they don't have RP experience. So then in topics, their replies might be shorter. I feel that this would not make the site better, but make people want to be active less in topics. I still feel that though starting post rule should be held in place, though.

Maia is correct. VIP membership helps all WoP and WoX sites function and succeed, so they should get some special privileges. 

I like this idea! They do SOOOOOO much work.
