I like the idea of a paid ban removal, instead of a lifetime ban you offer a fine/ban option.

30 day ban removal $30/lifetime ban removal $100.

huge untapped resources avalible

offer previously banned folks a special $50 one year memberships, if they behave they can renew next year at reg rate.

Proration?

Not that I really get any more benefit from an upgraded membership.

Oh... and the site would earn more with "get out of jail" cards.  Especially with so many getting brownelled.

If they did that, they'd break a hip falling off the pile of money it would generate.

Thanks, added a couple years.

Main reason I support this site is the tribal knowledge and ‘braking’ news that is better than the mainstream media.  

I also appreciate the subject matter experts that freely share their knowledge.  

As for the edge lords and shit posters, carry on.  I do get the humor required to survive a digital environment while living in mom’s basement.

I'm going to continue to support the site though all the ads/pageclicks they make me wade through (or maybe not....thanks Brave).   Sending Brownells a check for an avatar sounds silly to me but I don't judge anyone who does.

My theory is that the entire COVID forum is a response to threatening ad revenue.

I appreciate the membership discount but. Some of us have been on this site for many years. I really don't know why members that have been here as long as 20 years can't get a life membership. Some of us are getting old. If after 20 years you don't qualify as part of the arfcom "family" then what does?

This place isn't what it used to be.  Mods banning team members for not breaking any rules is what did it for me.  Won't ever pay for a membership again.  Sorry.  But if you guys wanna start being real moderators again then I'll think about it.

Taking a feature found on literally every message board and locking it behind a paywall was a brilliant business move. Obnoxious as fuck, and shitty, but great for business. I guarantee they wouldn't have even 10% of the paying members here if they simply included that like every other forum in existence.

LOL yes you should.....that has never been allowed since i can remember. I lurked for years before I became a member. Somewhere circa 02 / 03 IIRC.

The other posters are correct though. The moderation in GD is out of control and has been for a long time now. That doesn't mean you're allowed to attack other members.
