Status: offline 		If CM cost say...$10.00 a year. Who would pay?..who would leave? Could improvements unimagined be made to the site?  As I understand it, most of the work here is done by volunteers or funded by the owner of the site. Maybe I am out of line, I am just thinking, or typing, out loud

Pat is that person on SNL.  May make a good council member I don't know what city Pat is from.

Status: offline 		I would definitely pay. The models I have seen work the best make the payment optional. Some people just don't/won't/can't pay, and I would hate to lose the diversity that we have here. New people, for example, might be less inclined to join.

That being said, the voluntary payment situation works well for some forums, and not so well for others. I would think we have enough of us here who do value CM enough to kick in some bucks, and maybe a few more for those who can't afford to.

Neither, I'd go onto the streets and riot, and harass paying members in an attempt to coerce them into demanding a return to the principles of free of charge......I'd quite probably resort to blackmail in the event the riot doesn't work.

You talk about moderation, when I put up a post in alt or aff, it takes up to 24 hours, for it to post, so they make sure their auto filters catch emails, etc, anything they think may mess up their pay.

Finally, women tend not to be as willing to pay to join sites the way men are.  I think the site would become even more of a sausage party than it already is, I think.

No it would not.  It would experience some growing pains and adjustments and it would go on.  I post on boards that are not heavily moderated and everyone gets along pretty well.  There are meltdowns and arguments from time-to-time but rarely is someone put on post restriction.  I guess it finds it's own level of goofy/dysfunction or something like that.  New people sometimes get flamed, but if they stick it out, they become part of the experience.  There's no where for them to whine so they soon learn to grow up.

Greetings A/all,

Let Me see...
They rejected a photo of My belt and hands, (midriff) no nudity, etc. They also rejected a silhouette drawing of a man with a flogger standing over His sub. But there seems no way for Me to reject the truly disgusting "Hardcore Femdom Movies", "FUCKbuddies wanted!", and women-tied-in-knots commercials!

"Pay" is not the first word on My mind right now! Anything written after this point would be rage, so I stop here!

Sincerely,
Master Dave

Like a comfirmed e-mail addy and confirmation that the person is male or female...Upgrade the chat that doesn't seem to work for everyone.Yes I would pay extra for theses..Make sure there isn't multi profiles...
