Do you think non-premium members should be able to post on the forums? Please reply as I would like to see how other members feel about this.

YES! I did read the reasonings about this. However, the forum has died. Can we think of a compromise that will allow people to post and keep out the juvenile hackers and juvenile pirates at the same time? ... C

The juvenile hackers and pirates are a part of life! They can be annoying but tend to loose interest and move on when they fail to get the kind of info they think they are entitled to. Blocking all non premium members just restricts the conversation and potentially blocks some good contributions.

I agree with above, what the forum should do is to allow member to post something like 10-20 posts per week from their IP for free... and if they are found to ask unapropriet questions, their mac/Ip adress should be blocked from the site.

and downloading should only be allowed after 5 rep points or 50 posts, or something along the lines

If you guys agree with me plz reply, and even if u dont-> i am more then sure people would like to hear your oppinion ;)
