That they are more unwilling to pay and stuff around on here if they are going to lose money. Do all the people who get banned from here have free email accounts. Does that mean all free email account members are trouble makers, you must think so otherwise you would not be pushing for this. Did you know that our largest multi billion dollar TV station has formed a partnership with Microsoft. And they have a site called NineMSN, did you also know that all of the company members, from members of the board downwards, some 16,000 of them, only use hotmail accounts, cause of this deal that was struck with Microsoft ? I can understand your point of view, that trouble makers can find it easier to get a free email account and cause trouble. But you are lumbering alot of other good people into your equation too. Most times when you see free email accounts being banned are for sites like ICC and time trial programs, where you could basically keep getting new accounts to use a program forever. I only see this idea as lumping people with free email accounts into the catagory of trouble maker, and thus all are being punished for it. So 6 million plus hotmail account users are trouble makers. Lets not forget Yahoo. I did not say you said that, but that is the impression I am getting from this.
