Posting Privileges for (Vet)Preemies

Our Community Manager has told us they are working on trying some things to allow limited posting priveleges by non-VIP's but that they don't have everything worked out yet on what they are going to be able to do.
He said they will make an announcement when the plans are finalized.
As far as my testing shows, Gameplay / Technical Issues & Bugs is currently the only forum section where posting by non-VIP accounts is allowed. I'd suspect that the reason for this is so that people needing help can get the help they need from the community here.
It's possible that if people start posting anything they want here since it's the only place they can post that they may remove the ability to post here as well.
I've seen several threads moved from here since they weren't posts appropriate for this forum section.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Maybe they can just shuffle this thread over to Suggestions? Or Mr. Texas if you felt like making a similar thread on Vet Premies behalf's, that'd be keen. (or anyone else reading this)
I never even posted that much, but, knowing I can't is like an itch I can feel but can't scratch.
right now i believe non VIPs can only post in the player questions and the gameplay bugs/tech issues subforums
non VIPs also cannot have avatars
other than that i really dont know
Actually we can't post in PQ's either. Only board I have found is the Tech board.

I made my thoughts on the matter known, as did several other forum posters when the plans for Freedom were announced.
I believe it was due to subscribers asking for non-VIP's to be allowed limited posting priveleges that led Zwaddenbushburner to look into trying to find an alternative to the original plans.
I also feel strongly that if anyone repeatedly breaks the forum rules, be they VIP or non-VIP, their posting priveleges should be revoked.
This would include posts made in forum sections that they aren't relevant to. For any reason.

I haven't tested all of the other forum sections. The only others I'm likely to specifically test are the server specific forums and possibly the Discussion threads related to Announcements.

This is the only section I could find to post in. I know it's WAI, so this really isn't a bug I guess more of a suggestion/question.
Just went to Preemy status. Any thoughts on allowing vested Preemies such as my self(7 Year vet)a little more posting access than the Freem or low level Premmy off the street? Perhaps it could be worked in to the Tier rewards. Tacked on to an existing high level reward. "Along with this reward you gain greater posting privileges on the City of Heroes: Freedom message boards."
No idea on what the restrictions would be, but, something like this if possible.
Posting access is open to all forums, except access to any BETA boards.
Allowed to creat x amount of New Threads
Unlimited responses in already created threads.
Any Dev thoughts on this or yours?
Thanks
