First off, someone getting a yearly membership does not give them a "get out of jail free" card here. You can still be suspended and fined, and you will still get warning points. If you pay a $250 membership fee and get suspended and fined, you STILL owe the fine. If you choose not to pay it, you do NOT get your membership fee back. Your clock will still be running while you are suspended.

Secondly, I suspect there will be a dramatic increase in messages that SHOULD be in the BOI, or classified ads posted in discussion forums in order to bypass the paid membership restriction for posting in those sections. Whereas in the past, such threads were just moved to the correct forum whenever possible, that will end. Such threads will simply be deleted and the person posting them assessed appropriate warning points.
