Why is it part of the ZOS policy to disable a forum account when a user un-subscribes from the game?
I recently had to un-subscribe for a month, due to no choice of my own, I wanted to keep active on the forums still to keep up with updates and news but couldn't even log in.
Even after re-subscribing I found my forum account not active, even within the 24hr period that's mentioned in the help section.
I would of liked to have entered the Tales of the Dead comp but couldn't :(

Is there any logic to this mistrust of your customers ZOS?

    ...I suppose if someone gets banned and unsubscribes, they cant then come on the forums and have a rant ;)

    The plan is simple.

    If no voice is given to those who have left the game nor those who leave the game in the future then the forums will become a wonderland filled with magical Customer Service bunnies all worshipping at the Daedric altar as they sacrifice the happy few who remain.

    Of course having reached this hoped for utopia...then shall the bunnies themselves be depleted as the level of CS support is lessened, thus proving to all and sundry that the daedric overlords have a achieved a perfect game for none are left to question or comment unless it is inline with the official belief "GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME!".



    tldr

    Pay to post ensures they only deal with actual clients.

    You can still read the forums without a subscription so you can stay updated.
    Non paying players should not be able to contribute to the forums and this is the current policy.

    This, it was said from the very start that if you didn't have an active account, you will have no posting rights, and for a few of us, this is absolutely fine as it keep posters to only actual player.

    They should have one part of the forum for those thinking of joining to post in.

    And what exactly are they going to post about? They don't have a sub, no posting rights. Want to post and ask about the game, use 1 of the 253176361327 fan sites out there, like Tamriel Foundry, etc.
