Paid commentsPaid commentsPosted Nov 20, 2003 15:20 UTC (Thu) by chalsall (guest, #400)In reply to: Paid comments by euvitudo Parent article: On comment abuse I'd like to second euvitudo's suggestion. Having subscriber-only comments avoids, for all but the most extreme cases, any issues wrt censorship. Letters to the editor is always available to get communications into LWN, and in fact, it might revive the LttE page which has suffered greatly since comments were introduced. And, lastly, this policy might help, in a small way, the number of LWN subscribers. Never a bad thing... 8-)

Subscibers vs Non-subcribers Posted Nov 20, 2003 15:54 UTC (Thu) by mceesay (guest, #2806) [Link] I agree with the parent post.Reserve comments for subscribers-only. Non-subscribers can write a Letter to the Editor to express their views.
Subscibers vs Non-subcribers Posted Nov 20, 2003 17:21 UTC (Thu) by yohan555 (guest, #4253) [Link] I definitely second that. This would be an additional incentive tosubscribe as well... J. Weiss
Subscibers vs Non-subcribers Posted Nov 25, 2003 17:37 UTC (Tue) by cthulhu (guest, #4776) [Link] I definitely agree with the reserving comments to subscribers, withletters to the editor if the non-subs really want to get through. I paid for quality content; I'd like to keep it that way. If the non-subs want to comment so badly (with their insightful comments), they should become a subscriber anyway. Obviously, commenting is important to such a reader, so they should help us keep LWN going by subscribing.
