I've got a question.

When a user WAS in a certain clan or group, but leaves... do they still have these special privileges?

This is important to know, some users may end up with a false sense of security.

Just as some users are free to lie and claim they have a high USCF rating when they actually have no such thing. It's not a surprise that such a user also invents rules that don't exist on RHP like the "Site Admins can't reinstate banned user names" rule.

I think that certain Non-Subs (not all) should be limited to so many posts a day, so we don't have to put up with so much of their drivel. Perhaps 10 like is done with the PM's would be a perfect number?

We the paying subs would say who these Non-Subs would be.
If it ever came to the point when some subscriber-nitwit could decide if non-subs are allowed to post here, I would predict a mass exodus of non-nitwits.


Maybe ALL nitwits should be limited in the number of posts they make.

So are you trying to say that Subscribers are nitwits and non subs are not nitwits? What point here are you trying to make?

DO you think because you are a non sub, that automatically makes you a non-nitwit?

Actually we argee. I am not talking about taking their right of free speech away, I am talking about limiting it to 10 as it is with the PM's.

I am sure you can see how that would cut down on the useless drivel from (some of the non-subs), I am not say all non subs.

A good amount of "useless drivel" would be eliminated if you got a permanent forum ban.

Some would say the same about you, but not me. I enjoy laughing at your useless drivel. I as a rule just ignore what you say, as I do with most things that aren't really important, just so you know why I haven't answered your useless drivel in other forums.

Listen make sure to keep posting, even if it drops down to only 10 posts, I still enjoy the laughs I get from your posts. Perhaps they could make a special exception for you and a few others who are part of the furniture here. 🙂

Have a great day! And an even better tomorrow!

Well not them actually, just the number 69. 😛
Yes, "69" at the end of a user name is so lame. 😞

It was all said in Jest, sorry you took it so seriously. I hope your friend from Halifax, is able to come to turns with his issues. Perhaps talking to him privately would have been better. If he happens to be a member of this site, he may not like you sharing with everyone, if indeed you are correct about his gay life style. I think you have been known to be wrong one time before. 😉

No but I don't automatically think a person who subscribes is NOT a nitwit.

There appears to be as many in both categories to me.

Thank you.
since this is a thread ostensibly about possible modifications to the TOS, perhaps a section ought to be added specifiying the conditions under which a banned user will be reinstated. otherwise it just seems a bit arbitrary and contrary to the spirit of the rule of law. one rule for all, not special favours for those with friends in high places.

Ok, but Should the TOS be amended?
