Totally with DG on this one, and wouldn't mind betting that the 9 thumbs against him in the OP were all non - subscribers
I am not a betting man, but if I were I would bet they weren't all by non-paying-subscribers! 🙂

BTW: The count is now at 11 thumbs down.

What’s a “non-paying subscriber”?

Talk to your clan leader and he will explain it to you. 🙂

Is he the interpreter for your nonsense?
I think not.

No, he is there to explain things that you don't understand! 🙂

For Example: What’s a “non-paying subscriber”? You don't understand, he can explain that to you in words you'll understand. 🙂 😛

You sure do a lot of complaining about red thumbs for someone who claims not to care. 🙂 😛

“Non paying subscriber” is a phrase you have used in this thread.

I am asking you what a non paying subscriber is?

I refer you to my earlier answer in asking your Clan Leader, he knows, you should know! 🙂 😛

Are you afraid to ask him? 🙂

Because you want to go after the Person(s) that gave you a red thumb causing more arguments in the forums?

Exactly.

Do try to keep up Suzianne … following Rusty’s posts won’t help you, he’s like a old dog chasing squirrels and barking up all the wrong trees.

The suggestion in my OP is nothing to do with removing anonymity. Have a read of it and get back to me with your usual rational, balanced thought-through comments.

Hey Gooster, Still with negative posting I see. How is that doing for you so far? 🙂

Russ, you may have noticed that there has been some debate about this feature and I would like to make a serious suggestion.

The what:
- make the thumbing of forum posts only available to subscribers

The why:
- clearly it is a feature which many members see value in and that value can be commercialised
- the feature is currently rendered largely useless and frequently used as an infantile lever to overheat disagreements in the various forums
- the original intent of the feature is being made obsolete

Example:
