...just explain this to them and since they will probably be newcomers, you can also assist them to pay the fee, cause it's a really small amount, and if they are still reluctant, then their bad.
A few trusted members have been given permission to whitelist newbies so that they can access the forum without having to pay evil fees. So if you are a newbie who has never been here before and the forum asks you to pay an evil fee, you should check out this thread >
Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - email to get whitelisted for free.
LoyceV is one of those who can whitelist you. The others are
SFR10, Welsh, hugeblack, and Upgrade00. Not sure if more people can do it in the meantime.
Thanks for this detailed information.
I knew about LoyceV but not about these other members.
In fact, this evil fee was an unfortunate measure and a reason why some good members gave up this forum, which I know from personal experience.
I'm glad that this has now been resolved in this way and that good members can now get around this problem when registering on the forum.
As for the forum itself, what others will say or think about our forum will always depend solely on us, the members of this forum.
If we build and manage to maintain a representative bitcoin and crypto forum, a central place for quality discussion and exchange of crypto information, then we will have a large influx of new members.
If we fail to maintain such a standard, then we can't expect to be attractive and interesting to other potential members.
