Decline Something is lacking (I'm a lurker and I lost my GD access!!)

[Brainerdie]

And it's the rating and reading abilities.
Yesterday I discovered a surprising lack of the Rate button. I went to the main page and found out that it looked the same as it used to when my account was less than one year old. I've been lurking here for a couple of years, then made an account almost two years ago. All this time I had been trying to come up with a clever and prestigious post about RPGs, but now I have to write this instead, since such a cruel violation of lurkers' rights cannot be tolerated.
I don't know who did this, but I assume it was Crispy, because almost everything that harms Codexers is his deed (and the only source of joy in his miserable life). I don't care much about the GD or the buttons, but access to the Library is another matter, and I want my rights back.

TL;DR: Lurkers even with an account older than a year now can't rate posts or read GD, Prosperium or Retardoland and this is why Crispy should be decapitated.

Yes, this is an intentional change. You can always pay up.

Nor should they

If this was implemented to force lurkers out of the woodwork, then it worked I guess.

Does this mean that you now always have to pay to rate posts?

To which I reply: fuck you.

Crispy should be decapitated.

To which I also reply: fuck you.

Coming out into the open with unnecessary postings causes my flesh to blister and crack. I never hurt anybody. Just let me live in your walls.

 

[Martel]

After lurking for over ten years I find it in really poor taste to be forced to post in the open like this. Is paying now the only way to access GD or just posting regularly will suffice?

 

[TramplePie]

I write something but I delete it and move on. That is my habit and it's worked fine so far. But now I must press post. It hurts.

Welcome back, SDG!

There is simply no way SDG can write such a coherent and punctuated post.

Yes, this is an intentional change. You can always pay up.

Why though?

 

[Skinwalker]

Oh my fucking dunderlord, it's like watching rats crawl out of a flooded ship or something. They emerge one by one, each with 0 posts prior to this thread, each whining and moaning that their hiding place was ruined. How many more of these are there? Why do they lurk in silence? Are these all different people or one insane guy with a bunch of never-posting alts? Why do they lurk in silence?!?!

It is like sex offenders notifying their neighbours about their status ITT.

Five posts or five dollars, take your pick.

I'm expecting a surge of well thought posts featuring eloquent mini-essays on interesting subjects out of this change.

 

[Vanitas]

I lost my GD access and I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms. Please allow me to continue lurking in peace.

 

[Kev Inkline]

To add what I said above: A good change. I'd up the limit to 500 posts, though.

Or an equivalent amount of dollars, directly to Crispy, ofc.

 

[Meshugger]

Five whole posts? That's going to be a challenge. Since I got a PS4 back in 2016 I've only played From Software games exclusively, aside from The Witcher 3. The latest being Elden Ring which took about 8 months to finish, so now I have just been biding my time checking the random images thread until the DLC drops. Well until now, that is.

I cannot use PayPal.

Maybe, but I want to read the Library, and more importantly, I wanna know why Sir-Tech went bankrupt.

Yeah, cause everyone has something interesting and important to say and all opinions matter and so on. This ain't fucking Reddit.

The "I'm a lurker and I lost my GD access!!" part in the title was added by a mod, BTW.
