I'm not sure that I believe that nonsubscribers make up a very valuable part of the LWN community. Subscriptions are very cheap.

Subscriber vs. non-subscriber comments Posted Nov 20, 2003 13:23 UTC (Thu) by utoddl (subscriber, #1232) [Link] Only marginally related to the question at hand, but would it make sense to somehow differentiate comments posted by subscribers from those of non-subscribers? Maybe a different color on the comment subject line, or by text saying(Posted such-n-such date by subscriber userid1)vs. (Posted such-n-such date by guest userid2)I'm more likely to listen to a borderline troll if he's at least helped me pay for the service. And it might just encourage the good-hearted procrastinators out there to get around to subscribing before posting. I don't see how it would directly help with the trolling problem, though.
