if non subscribers want to use the forum then make them pay for it.
The extra money can be used to set up a knock-out league where the winner of each league gets promoted and a cash prize depending on the league that the person is in.
However, what does irritate me is people who aren't even playing chess trolling the forums, posting bilge and generally being painsinthearse.
Perhaps non-subs culd be limited to a number of posts per day equal to their games in progress?

If you picked on a minority in this way, you would surely be banned.
Non-subs are future subs, like i used to be.
Try giving us a genuine reason why non-subs should not post on forums. How can someone choose to subscribe to the site if there are non-sub bashers like you putting them off.
Rant over 🙄

Any opinions contrary to theirs are just trash and there ought to be a sewage disposal charge just to compensate the site admins for having to soil their hands with such garbage!

At one point JoniG had the last post in the entire first page of General and the posts were over around 4 minutes. Just bunches of copy pasted text.
Even if he does get a decent forum ban for it, the forum was still badly disrupted.
The same goes for cheating accusations, they hang around for hours sometimes and by the time they are removed the damage has been done.
