This was done to stop the jerk who makes a fake name, spams everyone with a message of hate... and never plays chess.
Users here can chat any number of ways if they want... 10 PM's a day is enough if you don't want to caugh up some coins.

Some poor people just cannot afford to.
I find it offensive that people call them "tight" when they perhaps would like to but can't subscribe. Without knowing peoples circumstances, it's out of order.😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

Do you smoke? Quit. OK, that may be a bit hard for some, so... erm... Stop buying tabs and pick up dog ends. Drink? Drink water. It's usually free. Eat? Go rootle in a supermarket skip. Even dole scroungers can save (I did)...
The people who don't want to subscribe are not poor, they'd just rather spend 30 bucks on something which has more value for them.
I think that non-subs shouldn't be allowed to post in the forums, PM, or any of the other things. They shouldn't be rated and should be identified by a number only. They should be bombarded by spam and pop-ups.
There are lots of chess sites out there, play up to 20 games, etc. Don't want to pay a measley 30 bucks? Go there, skinflint.
EDIT: If you're that bad off, sell your fckuing computer...

Well said,on Playchess.com if you don't fork the cash within a certain period of time (usually a month) your account is reset to "Guest" (yes,even the nickname disappears) and you can't create any rated game.
Playchess ,with ICC,is the most popular chess site,so spare breath saying that diminishing non-subs privileges is a damage to the site,this policy works greatly and recently even on Gameknot more restrictions were implemented for non-subs.
