perhaps we should have a forum for kiddies - lets say if you are, or act like you are under the age of 15 you would have to use the baby-forum.
You'd fit in well. 😕

As the "alleged" reason for the pm rationing is to "prevent abuse", how would this idea increase the chances of abuse?
Answer: it wouldn't. 🙄

The post that was quoted here has been removedWhy would someone pay 40 dollars a year to send messages? 😲
That would be a brilliant bit of business if it could be wangled.
Maybe you wouldn't scrounge drinks all night but the point is if the scum has bought you some drinks and you bought him some , the time suddenly comes when the barman says "nope, you scum can't buy that sub a drink, you've used up your buying quota"

maybe the longer a member has been here then the more messages they are able to send?
so for the first year its a limit of 10 a day
2nd year 20
3rd year 30
and so on
is this a feasible idea? it rewards those that are still around on the site but also still has an added bonus if they are able to subscribe.

1. Maybe not limit the messages at all.
2. if you want to talk go on the forums or blitz, (or no limit on receiving messages)
3. if someone messages you and you can't reply ask either ask for their e-mail address later or ask them to put it on their profile or we can have a thread where everyone puts their e-mail address.
4. non-subscriber's are not scum!
in response to number 2 - i agree, valid point
in response to number 3 you can do in game messaging as well but i wouldn't ever put my email on my profile because anyone would be able to see it (and i have the same reservations about the email thread in the forums)
Number 4 - some people call them scum but not me because in my experience there are a few of the non-subs who know a lot more about rhp than the subscribers (looks directly at Dr Strangelove 🙂)
