Monetary contributions?
Yes. I didn’t think about how posters make a contribution to FR with their posts. LOL
My way of thinking is this....a troll-a true troll-who is going to post for free and are there to disrupt isn’t going to pay a message board they’re just there to troll.
But if a poster is a contributing (paying) member to the message board, then that person may have unpopular opinions which they express, but that’s not a true troll. That’s someone practicing free speech. They would be reported, same as now, and let the mods deal with them. They couldn’t arbitrarily be voted down by a clicke who prefer living in an echo chamber.
Lest anyone decides ‘what you’re trying to say is...’ I’m NOT suggesting only paying members are allowed to post. Simply suggesting that a member who pays to support the message board is not very likely to be a true troll.
I did see what was going in the live threads, and it was uncalled for.
My opinion, of course.
