It is very petty to begin with. I am sure you were not involved with it. 😉
Just pointing out it could be abused.

Are you fielding messages from users who get attacked in the forums but don't have the ability to alert?
I didn't think so.
I don't have a time frame for how long, but I could probably compile a nice long list of non-subs I feel could use the alert system without abusing it.

If they can afford to pay for an internet connection on a monthly basis, or whatever, seems pretty ironic they can't pay up for yearly subscription to this site.
Originally posted by zozozozoGiving non-subs (that have been around a long time) alert buttons would probably improve the speed in which mods can 'clean' the forums. - Not necessarily, because it's been said often enough, that mods aren't always on at all times, and there have been 'x' amount of hours, between a post being alerted to being removed, there's no difference.

2) What happens when a subscriber chooses not to renew the subscription, who still decides to play on here, who would still post, would he/she get to use the alert system?
For example, if I chose not to renew my subscription, but I still want to play on here, and if and when I do post, if I find something posted that I wanted to alert, do I have to use site feedback or can I send a Mod a PM, and say, 'Hey,'
Originally posted by mikelomHere's the thing.
No!
Actually, I think being able to alert is a priveledge paid for.
There are 'some' posts which I have thought are rather dubious, if not downright unacceptable and cross pure boundaries. (Not usually at myself or others, but rather posts which are clearly contrary to the basic site rules.)
