New Revenue Features: Paid Comment Locking & Pinning ($5 each)

[u/alluptheass]

I'd like to propose two new paid features that could generate significant revenue while giving users more control over their contributions:

Paid Comment Locking - $5 - Users can pay $5 to permanently lock their own comment - Locked comments cannot be voted on, replied to, or removed by moderators - Only Reddit administrators can override the lock - Lock status remains even if the user is later banned - Provides users a way to "seal" their contributions

Paid Comment Pinning - $5 - Users can pay $5 to pin their own comment - Pinned comments always display first in threads, ordered by pin time - Pin status cannot be overridden by moderators - Pin remains even if the user is later banned - Gives users a way to ensure visibility of key contributions

Moderator Considerations: - While mods cannot override pins/locks, they retain: - Full ability to ban users from their subreddit - Control over all unpaid comments - All other standard moderation tools - This preserves core moderation capabilities while respecting paid features

Benefits: 1. New revenue stream for Reddit 2. Users get more control over their contributions 3. Valuable for users sharing important information, corrections, or updates 4. Simple to implement with existing infrastructure 5. Clear value proposition for users

How about No? I can see the comment locking/pinning on your own profile, but not on a sub. Your comment on a sub is not so valuable or deserving that it needs to be locked on to the sub or pinned to be the top comment in a post thread just because you feel it should be.

Sounds like a way to enable ads and trolling while diabling mods ability to remove it. No thanks.
