That would probably be a good compromise, yes (and Hedgecore would like it :-).

I didn't mention it initially because I don't know if it's easily doable with standard forum software ; all the boards where I've seen it done were all-or-nothing. vBulletin does have a rich add-on ecosystem, so maybe there's a plugin of sorts that does this.
