Originally posted by XanthosNZI agree it is far to many, its inhumane on all of us.
But I'd only have 182 posts a day! That's inhumane.

No problem - just stating a fact.
1 Hundred chess moves - 1 forum post. [per day or week or whatever]
2 Hundred chess moves - 2 forum posts.
And so on and on....
This would prevent new accounts being made for the sole purpose of spamming.
Originally posted by gollumprawnWhat if non-subscribers were limited in the forums they could post to. Many web sites are very limited in what non-subcribers can do, so it wouldn't be unusual. There are already some restrictions for non-subscribers. Maybe even have a number of completed games and/or in progress before being able to post. This is a chess site and forums should add to the experience, not be the experience.
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.

Originally posted by LazyKnightI do. JoniG believed he was being appropriate. As did various other non-sub spammers (on the other hand we have STANG and the like). These forums are a community and I believe that the community should control what is appropriate not the individual posters. That's why subs have an Alert Moderator button.

I suggest you to drop this issue, non-subs are member and they will post whatever they wish as long as it's appropriate.
Anybody has any objection?

Originally posted by LazyKnightWhy? He is the kind of poster that I would be interested in getting rid of. I enjoy the contributions of some non-subs. I think that without them these forums would die a slow death. In fact before I was a sub I posted in the forums. Except I posted meaningfully and with actual thought.
Forget about JoniG.
Originally posted by bugs bunnyYour argument actually works against you: This is a chess site, so the extra chess features (tourneys, clans, unlimited games, etc.) ought to be paid for. "Sideshow" things like forum access should not require payment.

Originally posted by theUltimateBadassIt is because of people who like to post like this that is the problem. Yos have been banned under another screen name? Maybe JoniG? Someone is banned and they create a new user name and continue on with posting nonsense. ( It could be said that all theses posts are nonsense.) With a new name the posting continues and what has been accomplished?
I'm tired now to repeat myself over and over.
I wanted to tell in a literary way,
NO
I wanted to tell in a gansta' way
NO
but i'm telling you as a human being now!
Stop this hate propaganda against me.
IF do no not like me BLOW me!
This is me,
