Alright, so having scanned some of the comments here, I don't like the idea of having to pay to become part of the "Boys club" or in other words, "Trusted" as it would seem to be.

I now understand that I, as a license holder, am entitled to the "Advanced" privileges. So, that will be nice once it comes into fruition. HOWEVER, I have to go back to the business principle.

About 8 months ago, I was running OSDate on my main dating site and it was doing good, except see more I ran into a snafu with the billing system from CCBILL. As it stood, I had to try to get reoccurring billing which OSdate didn't do. So, I used Google which let me know about Boonex. Based on the people's stories that I read about it, I decided to try it out and test it. I liked it and decided to use it all the time.

First though, I had a question that I had to ask before I went into my wallet and pulled out my card to remove the "Powered by Boonex" stuff. I asked it. At any time, if I had been told that in order to ask a question, I had to pay a $5/lifetime fee, I would have dropped Boonex forever. Why? Because it should not have to be this way.

What ever happened to trusting the customer to not spam? It sounds like to me that your Mods are getting tired of removing the spam. If this is the case, get more mods or replace them! Don't force people to PROVE that they are not spammers by paying.

Now, if I was indeed a Spammer and wanted to spam a forum, the $5/lifetime fee would be easy to pay and I would probably mass spam the forums before I got banned just to get the word out of what I was trying to sell. (Even a short term exposure before removing my posts would be a good investment.)
