So I wish that the Free Republic would sent an email to those whose automated payments stopped so that we can get our payments back on track right away. It can be a super polite email along the lines of "Dear valued Freeper, we know that you have generously donated xx amount each month but we notice that the payments have stopped...could we please trouble you to confirm that this was your intention?" I think that would help with the cash flow here a bit.

One way that would help with that would be, if you are not current on your donations, then you don't get to post. You will only be able to lurk.

I’ve thought of that too but it seems a little mean. I was thinking something a little more subtle like having donor’s screen names show up in red when they post. Then it goes back to black after a certain period of time. I’m sure programming something like that won’t be easy.
