Premium members will never be shutout of any rule we might create for the forums. In fact, I'm trying to figure out what more I can do for premium members on the forums. Currently there are no rules so, there is nothing special I can give premium members. The only thing I can think of is a supporter or premium member badge below your avatar and removing the very minimal advertising.
To all: If you're a premium member and you would like to fly a little premium member flag like the one you see next to your comments on the blog and have the ads removed on the forum, let me know.
Don't worry, there will never be a police like state where I would take the time to determine the quality of someones posts. I'm not a fan of rules either BUT, if a tiny little rule added value for everyone, I am all for it. What I am trying to determine is, how little can I do to gain the greatest value.
Thats exactly what I am looking for. I just want people to try it out, if they find that they hate it, I dont want them to feel forced into anything.
I was thinking 5 posts total and then maybe a requirement of 1 per month?
OR I could just suggest this type of rule every month and watch all the newcomers start posting like they did today and last night!
