Whoops again then. Having said that, it can't hurt to move up the recognisable names to members and also, there are still a few that have got to 30/40 posts (some 10-20) but haven't been moved to Members.
The V&I section is a shadow of how it used to be anyway.
Letters is resisting repeated calls for his resignation.
VIgate, tbh.

One of the biggest problems is that people can't lurk and view the forums without signing up.
I understand the reason why you implemented this system as you want people to create accounts but a lot of people are wary of handing out details over the internet and creating an online account. It's a lot better to let anyone view the forum and then grow it's popularity naturally. These people will in turn recommend this site to others and the membership and activity will rise steadily. Alienating people who don't want to create an account is not the way forward.
The initial reason was site performance. It coincidentally resulted in an increase in membership as some 'lurkers' joined to continue reading.
But I do understand the point you're making.
Indeed, the reason we did it was because the load on the site was not helping to its slowness. More accounts being created was just a by-product of that.

Had nothing to do with potential legal issues?
And if not, you realise this is now in effect a private web site, you have to make the decision to register in order to view the content. That makes a HUGE difference and gives much more scope for winding it down a bit on the censorship. Not saying you guys are bad in that respect, you are better than most, but can we please have the word **** back?

Give us back our ****s!

It really doesn't make much sense for me to be here if the word **** is not available?
How about censoring the word Chamakh instead? That would serve a purpose.
