Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Pay to post goes against the main philosopy

It may go against the philosophy of Project Camelot, but when you are stuck between a rock and a hard place, are you still going to hold to your dogmas?

I think if the people who use this forum have an investment in it, no matter how small, the quality of their use will improve. It will exclude the useful idiots who are latching onto the ears of the enlightened, and allow for a more organised discourse. It does not matter if you hold to ideals of freedom or chaos, availability and access, for this forum's PURPOSE to be achieved, the muddy waters need to be cleaned.

One question that needs to be addressed: When the forum becomes subscription based, how will the psy-op agents be dealt with? They will have no problem getting the money for subscription, and once they have paid, will they not find it easier to sway opinion in a forum where trust between members is increased (through the membership mentality)?
