How does the OP of a 4chan thread proves to your central server that he is actually OP? It's not like your server can ask 4chan servers who's OP. You'd need something like tripcodes or asymmetric signatures in each OP or hidden in the OP image.

I don't believe that OP owns a thread, a thread is something that is collective, it doesn't even matter who created it or for what purpose what's interesting is that it evolves often in unexpected ways, the freedom we have is nice I don't see the point of allowing OP to limit this freedom. (For what purpose?) (What if a malicious user keep making the OP of a general for the purpose of using OP powers to disrupt discussion?)
I see the idea of a 4chan overlay as interesting for the opposite reasons, to improve freedom, for example to allow continuing a thread that was deleted by a mod for a bullshit reason, this is what ghostposting in archives kind of already provides and it's very useful also for when 4chan goes offline which is also when a lot of altchan historically become more used (remember april?).

Let's be honest, the percentage of 4channers that would use your extension would be also very small.
Installing an extension might be an even higher obstacle than just opening a link to an altchan, so maybe a 4chan overlay might have even less users than an altchan.
