Hi norrist

Great idea and I like the solution, but as with most things on HPR, it is rarely a technological quick fix. 

First how will spam be managed ? This needs to be rock solid as we get hammered constantly. 

Some instances do not appreciate people taking their posts and putting them on other platforms. 
How do we know the approve and how do we track that their consent has not changed ?

How can we incorporate the feedback with "the show" so that the entire context is maintained ? 
Can we check them into git, or add them to the database ?

How do we remove them if we are required to do so ?

Can we include them in the Community News and not violate the Creative Commons license ?

Which moderation rules will apply ?

How will it stand up to attacks ? 

Will the character set be comparable ?

Not saying it can't be done but there is a lot to consider.
