Does anyone else believe that having certain members with the words "Premier subscriber" under their forum name, creates a two-class community? Those who do "pay for the newsletter", and those who "do not".
The upper class and the lower class.
I can understand a tendancy to favour those who are helping to keep the Icke ship afloat by paying. But why rub this in the faces of those who either don't, or can't.
Please, don't ban this thread or give me infraction points. This is a serious debate and I would appreciate some slack on this matter. I'm not criticising the way the forum is moderated (on this occasion). I'm asking for people's opinions.
The poll is anonymous, and I wont vote to keep it fair.

Well, a three class community divide actually since there's also the rather prevalent troll label also, denoting a seedy underclass.
Even though I don't like it, the "Premier Subscribers" epithet is obviously there for a reason - to show the mods who is willing to pay NOT to receive infraction points on this forum.
btw I voted it does cause a divide. Naturally.
To be honest, the label is there the same reason the "moderator" label is there. The software recognises that a user is either a member, a moderator, or a paying user. Paying members have recieved warnings just like everybody else, and get no special treatment, other than being able to upload and download certain things and recieve a newsletter. That's what they're paying for.
Serious question: What would you rather the software labelled them as?

you calling trinity a bully?
"Prole" is a perjorative term applied to the proletariat in "1984". A "no-brain insult", if you will. Do some reading, Clint.

Oh look. It's tweedle dee and tweedle dum.
In another groundbreaking episode of 'what can we pick on next'.
Why do you even bother?
Edit- ah never mind. I remember now.

Clint was referring to this:

With our leaders exhibiting such trollish behavior (and going totally unpunished I'm sure), what we ordinary members supposed to make of it? :confused:
This just proves Clint's and Trinity's statements about there being a caste system on this board to be true. This is a different issue from the fascist censorship that's going on here.
There is a caste system here at the official David Icke forum. Incredible and disappointing.
Guys, stop giving eachother ammunition. This is very childish and a complete bore. Thread closed. Any more threads which go way off topic like this will end up similarly.
It saddens me that certain people have come here purely to argue against abstract ideas that haven't happened. If you have an issue with a post being deleted or a thread or anything that has ACTUALLY happened, take it up with a moderator. We will actually listen and take note.
But please, stop these pointless debates. They do nothing but create a bad atmoshere and spiral into mythical accusations.
