Maybe. I think there are more than a few people who would be ideologically opposed to paying a for-profit organization in exchange for being able to post on its forum. Maybe if it was a donation to EFF instead?
I really, really like that idea. Not just EFF, because that would tend to create an echo chamber. Instead, you should be presented with a dropdown list of various unrelated but preapproved nonprofits. A $5 donation to any of them would earn you commenting privileges for a limited time.
Want to comment as an AC? Donate $5.00 for a one-time comment without logging in. Want to comment as a logged-in user? Donate $5.00 for a month.

Somebody should totally do something like this.
