OK. If every single user name carried a $5 charge, then it would at least slow down trolls. Then they'd just spend $5 every time they decided to get their stupid on.
No. It will not be implemented.

Then I think Mods should have to pay for the privileges of being a mod.

What does the fact that they won't put in something like that have to do with being a mod? We don't control billing or subscriptions. It's my opinion that no one would want to do that. I doubt they think that an issue like "Nucky" or trolls in general is worthy of changing a network billing policy and honestly, it really isn't.

I sense hostility. Just a user trying to improve the experience.

you're not supposed to "sense" anything.. you're supposed to just do what you're told to do...

I agree but bump it up to $10. 5 dollars aint shit and would def not stop a lot of the trolls and people who make like 10 names a day.

I'm not arguing with that - that actually sounds like a good idea to me...
I'm just referencing the dude who said the other dude (presumably a "mod") seems hostile.. mods tend to not value opinion that differs from theirs..

Sorry. I dont know why that quoted you. I didn't mean to.
That said I gave you +1 cuz you made a funny.

It seems like a brilliant idea to me. 247 makes money, and it would cut down on mods having to deal with people who create multiple accounts over and over and over again.
Don't you get tired of people sending you PMs all the time to ban people. Isn't this a mod complaint of sorts? That they have to deal with this all the time? Wouldn't a $5 fee save you some trouble (and make 247 money)?
Seems like you would be in favor of this. Are you?

You could probably make it a quarter and it would be the end of Nucky, as broke/cheap as he appears to be.

Why does it matter if I'm in favor of it? I'm also in favor of Kate Beckinsale sitting on my face.

But but... Is it really fair that some of the more sensitive posters on this board would need to pay 5 dollars for a second account to upvote themselves and downvote their enemies. That's not fair!!!!!!!!

It's very easy to bypass. I ould make a joke about a certain poster but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to.

Thanks for the suggestion. We think a more effective method would be to change "Oops! That's not right" to "Oops, that isn't right." Ooh, and a smiley for the Gazelle Freestyle [tonylittle]. Thanks for the excellent idea!

Wouldn't it make your job as a mod easier?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't you complained about how hard it is to be a mod, or to regulate all the trolls/multiple user names, or to deal with all the PM's you get regarding trolls/multiple user names?
Wouldn't a $5/user name fee make your job as a mod easier?
