Short form content opens the door to misuse for personal gains... the question is whether or not the community is dedicated enough to maintain some sort of "meritocracy" as part of the process?

You nailed it. It is up to the community to step up and handle that.

Most features are open to misuse and abuse. Spammers show up all over the internet. If Leofinance is to succeed, there needs to be a concerted effort not to reward those who are just abusing the system.

As for the Email/messenger idea, I think there are a couple of groups working on messenger ideas. I havent heard of any doing email.

There might be an opportunity for some.
