hmm, i think we can do so:)

E-mail especially should be disabled so they can't privately contact anybody, only post publicly and even then only in Pre-Sales (if it should be here) and possibly the lounge. I suggest making Modified Forums open to unlicensed users so they can be busted when they post their URL. ;)

No unlicensed in the lounge. :'( Please no. That should be a private place for licensed members to chatter about. In my opinion.

i'm currently thinking of testplace, presales, forum commenting, and site feedback (that's needed also sometimes ;))

but as said we will discuss that issue :)

Right now unliscensed users are able to see the full release forum if they are registered but cannot download, they can also see the threads I believe (last time I checked) stuff like this should be blocked off, because many post codes in the thread, and even when asked to still do it, un liscensed users have access to this, and maybe having the user confirm his/her liscense on registration by a multi-step registration.

this will be changed p0wered :)

the confirming issue on the other hand is by jelsoft, so you have to suggest changings there, we can just restrict the rights of unlicensed ones (and will do so ;))

hmm, i just saw, unlicensed users can't send PMs.

didn't know that, but chen had done that already ;)

Well it wasn't like that a few months ago ;)

Those forums sound good for unlicensed users except Forum Commenting. I don't want to give constructive feedback to unlicensed users :). Perhaps they can reply but not post new threads there :D

mist, if they post the link to ther boards, then it could help us to find them ;)

I encourage all pirate users of vB to post links to their sites so that we can comment on them. :)
