• Buying premium enables permas to access fora as well as games

• ditto

• If people banned can pay their way back on to the fora as well as back into games, those who enjoy both sides of the site in equal measure may be more likely to pay to return following a ban
• Higher rate of ex members being shaken down for cash opting to return to the site
• More $$$ for CC

And inline commercials can be added also.
So generally I agree with your proposal that freemiums should somehow pay back for using the CC forum.

I think you miss the point on this...

He is requesting forum access after being banned if he buys premium. He is not saying that you should have to be premium to access the forums.

Bear in mind, it is extremely difficult to get forum banned in the first place around here. You have to be exceptionally bad and already given plenty of chances before it happens.

Isn't this already the case? If you get site banned for breaking the rules, and buy your way back, surely you have forum access enabled if it was before?

xeno was the worst possible example you could have given if you wanted to generate support for this suggestion.

I understood the proposal, but CC should do as Facebook(or other services that offer similar service). Commercials for nonpaying members. So basically no service is shortened but commercials are added to some members.

So what exactly did this xeno person do? It must be ancient history, and thanks to the great forum purge there is now no record of it that I know of
