There should be a place where people can see the paid account features and play with them to decide whether or not a paid account is worth their while. Perhaps in the official site communities, for example, most of the entry page features could be automatically enabled. In addition, there could be a paid_sandbox community where people can experiment with the features. This would work for:

1. Ability to receive copies of comments you make in other journals in your e-mail.
2. Ability to post polls.
3. Ability to create custom mood themes (maybe? But only use them in the sandbox community?)
4. Ability to edit comments after posting
5. Thread expanders

And maybe other things?

For some features (e.g. number of icon slots, number of sites you can cross post to, forwarding e-mail address) this of course wouldn't work. But there are lots of paid features, and if you don't have access to them, you have no idea how cool they are. I didn't realize I couldn't live without comment editing until I got comment editing.

I'm not sure how difficult it would be to implement "everyone is a paid user when posting in the following communities".
