I was wondering about doing that myself.
I'm not sure this counts as a proper mousetrap situation because, IIRC
(haven't been following the rules much), breaking pledges is punishable
but not illegal. Still, it wouldn't surprise me if some people treated
this like a mousetrap and got annoyed if it was abused in a less benign
way.
(Agora terminology: a "mousetrap" is a contract or agreement that
somehow forces people to agree to it without their consent. It's not
supposed to be possible, but there have been several attempts to pull
it off in the past. Mousetraps can also be very unpopular sometimes,
although this has tended to vary based on what exactly the mousetrap
actually does.)
