I don't understand your implication (the italicized part), what does it mean?
He is probably suggesting that if someone is required to pay an evil fee, he/she shouldn't have to do it immediately after the registration. Instead, the payment should be delayed to a later date. But that would then mean that the admins would have to keep tags on who does what, and if they notice that a member who needs to pay the fee is trying to join a bounty/signature campaign or wants to sell something, he first has to pay the fee.
What if that member never does any of that? He could then use the forum without having paid any fee. That system wouldn't work.
If the member never does any of the above, that means the member ought not to pay for any evil. Because it can be said, the member is not gaining anything from the forum save knowledge.
Like I said nothing is perfect so maybe it’s just a good idea to be happy with what we have here. Without this forum I wouldn’t have created the wealth that I have, that’s for sure. You can learn so much here from OG’s who are willing to share their knowledge & experience.
I attest to this always. I am everly grateful I found this forum. The worse we can classify this forum is 'second to the best', I would not give it the best because I have not seen all the forums in the world.
Without being biased, you can attest that the forum you see today was not the one you met as a newbie. There is obviously a change(s) be it -ve or +ve. If not the forum itself, how about the behaviours of the forum users? That is the reason people hunger for change. Because in a dynamic world, when you refuse to change things to your own direction or desire, they will tend to change themselves in the other direction.
However, I am grateful I have found this forum. I have never made a dime from here, but I believe when the time is ripped, I'll not be an exception.
