I posted this in a thread in C&C. Apologies to anyone objecting to my quoting myself to copy it here.
Here's the original thread, where I hope members make some good suggestions.

blut wump said:I think very few members are happy about the current state of affairs with Red K, neither those feeling that it's the only way to spread nor those on the receiving end of gratuitous bombs crapping on their user panel.
The site seems to be in a quandary how to resolve this issue so post up your suggestions.
I'd suggest, firstly, that Red comes from your stash just the same as Green does. I can't think of any good reason that Red should be free other than bombing spammers. Since we have the "Report Bad Post" icon and everyone is now accustomed to highlighting posts or has disabled the 'owned.gif', anyway, this is no longer a good reason.
Related to this is the aspect of spreading and Karma taxation.
Currently, non-Plats pay a 50% tax on making a Green Hit: only half of what they lose reaches the recipient. The Store only charges 30%. The extra is unreasonable and yet another inhibition on hitting.
Removing having to spread has been suggested as desirable by many members. I'd suggest putting the 10% tax on hits and removing the need to spread.
In conjuction with this, I'd like to see the tax on Red hits, assuming they'd then be charged for, increased to closer to 90%, if possible.
Post your suggestions. Let's try to get this system functional for everyone.
