subscription or not, you need to make HC a leaner meaner cleaner site.
1. make sure people register via a legit email-server, not yahoo etc. then check up when they re-register.
2. get rid of ignorant rampers (XYZ will go whoosh tomorrow, N/C)
3. anyone who is on more than a certain number of 'ignore'-lists, to be deregistered.
4. bad language is hard to control, but personal abuse isn't. deregister.
5. politics should be kept off this forum, especially if it is virulently racist. deregister (I've put people on my ignore list even tho I'm on their side, because they don't know when to leave it alone).
6. anyone who posts more than a certain number of times in one day (ten maybe), should be deregistered. I know I'm not being helpful with regard to the original problem (money) but a bit of monitoring would go a long way and attract a better standard of members. items (1) (3) & (6) could be controlled automatically, anyway.
