it's a good topic to bring up, never apologize for bringing up a useful discussion, and thats what that is.
my 2 cents, making this a strickly pay site would not get rid of trolls. it's inevitable that they would pay and then think they have a carte blanche to do whatever they want, and not get banned.
thankfully rules are rules so what applies to people that don't pay, also applies to people that pay.
i think warp should be giving phobia $$ for promoting their artists via the discog etc.....i mean this site has been around for SEVERAL years, and they should funnell some money over to worthy sites that only EARN them more moolah!

there are several message boards that i would love to join that are pay (and once i get credit options i will join) - one, for example - is the somethingawful.com forum - it has a $10 fee and is pretty much troll free - basically, if you do something that is listed as innappropriate in the FAQ - you are banned.
several people a month are banned for posting "hi - i just signed up/first post" threads - on their first day.
if a decent faq is made with reasonable boundries we will be able to keep things in order - as long as those rules are enforced
this would definately make it easy to keep this board troll free

i think it makes perfect sense for warp to pay phobia for banners and direct links to online sales. xltronic and WATMM are almost giant ads for warp in their current incarnations (especially WATMM, at least phobia talks about passarani, bola, a & e..)

People arre acting like the $10 is needed so you can enjoy the MB, the extrras (like pic posting) is just a cheap bonus to the people that go to the efforrt to give $10

definitely do so. pitchforkmedia.com has small, relatively unobtrusive animated GIFs advertising the latest warp releases (click --> warp's site). maybe if you showed them the discog they'd realize it's a good idea.

i wouldn't mind paying $10 for a full year. I think I could scrounge 10 bucks - but some trolls I enjoy.
