For all the subscribers:

Yes or no, should non-subscribers be banned from the forums and state your reasons. I reserve the right to unmercilessly mock you if I think your position is ridonkulous.

yes I think we should be banned because we paid to play chess, not to post in the forums!

No. But I think the site could benefit from having several "Subscribers-only" forum areas.

Please, either answer the question or stay out of the thread (ANGIE). Too many subscribers do nothing but clutter up threads with tangents and non-related posts.

No. It would be ridonkulous to ban them. Hey, I love that word. And if non-subscribers couldn't post here, I would never have seen it!

No, non-subscribers contribute greatly to the health of the forums, and banning them would be a severe blow to everybody. Plus, banning them from the forums would discourage potential people who want to register.

So subscribers reserve the right to spam and post inane garbage because of the fact that they paid a few bucks a month?

same could be said for non-subscribers....

Anyway I think non-subs should be able to post in the forums... its a chess community, they make it more interesting anyway... but there should be a subscriber only forum, which should have miprovemtns for subscribers

It would seem that non subscribers and subscribers alike both share that ability darvlay.
