Perhaps we force new users to update to cut the bots ?

Some real users may not like being forced to write a profile.

Not yet had that pleasure, do ad blockers stop them ?

Didn’t they promise ad-free sessions for pro members? :open_mouth:

Howard is not a pro member to my knowledge

My Ad blocker did not stop the Ad.
Update I had my ad blocker turned off, now that it is back on I do not see the Ad.

That is correct.

I’m a plus member - but - I also use Brave as my main browser (I’ve yet to try out Brave Origin - not sure I see the point) and it’s always blocked ads even before I was sentenced for life :smiley: as plus member :smiley:

Sorry, I didn’t know that. I assumed it from your Dedicated badge you earned.

I wonder whether Pro Membership should be made as public as it currently is?
I dont care personally.
What do others think?

I don’t care either. But for me, it’s not disturbing as it is now.

I don’t care either way. As all members should be treat exactly the same no special treatment for paid or not

Currently paid membership gains them a star against their name but to be honest I never look before replying

If it’s a cry for help. A request for info or a reply to someone else I read with interest

Of course there isn’t, or at least shouldn’t be, any impact on communication between pros and “amateurs”. Sic! :wink:

I wouldn’t think that people who contributed with any donation should have priority (and from what I have seen no one expects that)

In the absurd case that someone would use that argument to get priority or urgent support I foresee that it would end up badly :joy:

To be honest I would prefer not to have a star over my image. People might think that I am more knowledgeable or more experienced in this forum than I actually am…
