Great list. If I could presume to add one; I think more high profile people would be attracted to the platform if they were somewhat insulated from casual trolls.
When submitting a post, there should be a slider bar to set the minimum reputation required to comment on that post.
I can see a lot of famous people who've been driven off twitter, attracted to a platform which lets genuine people post insightful comments, while keeping the trolls at bay.

Thanks for the suggestion. Its a really good idea! I upvoted your post.
There is some potential for "unintentional impact" as far as restricting user participation. A lot of new users start out by commenting on posts to gain recognition/followers/reputation. If they aren't able to comment on other people's posts, then it will be hard for them to work their way up.
I'll add a comment to your post tonight explaining my concern, then add it to the list. I think it should be considered.
[Edit] Your suggestion has been added :)
Thanks Tim, I'd be surprised if even 10% of users actually set their posts' minimum above 25, as we're mostly vexed by a lack of attention, not an excess.
If we think in terms of effort, and pencil in a month of creative writing to get up to 50, then nobody is being excluded from even those 10% of posts except those who've been here less than a month, and those who've abused the privilege.
That's a really good point! You have me convinced :)
