Personally I think non-paying members are merely parasites. Cut there games and severely limit their posting privileges would be more apt in my opinion.
If you want more tournament play then become a subscriber. Simple as that !!

Comparing non-subs to parasites though is rather shortsighted. (Non-subs after all are the potential members of the future).
On the other site I play on we use 'guests' as a resource, and plug gaps in teams and tournaments etc to aid site activity. But i'm sure this is something Russ has considered.

Just not here. That of course could change in the future if I decided to transfer more of my chess playing on to this site.
