Originally posted by GinoJA paying subscriber is less likely to spam the forums to the extent that 7ate9 and others do. I see no reason that any limitation would apply to subscribers. What this idea is trying to deal with is people who create new user accounts just to spam and abuse the forums. By making non-subscribers complete a set number of moves before having full forum priveledges you will make the forums a little less prone to abuse. It would however affect users who just want to use the forums, there are a few decent posters who don't play chess.
I have been playing here well over four months and I have not completed 1000 moves yet. I don't think any new member should rush for their moves to post their opinion in the forums. A member is a member. There will always be abusers of some sort. This is inevitable no matter what.
Briefly, I disagree.
