For the reasons explained in this post, we are now implementing a strict humans only policy.
These rules can be considered in effect immediately:
1. Each account must be owned and connected to a real individual human being.
2. Non-humans may not have accounts. For example, bots and AIs are not allowed to have accounts. Brands and companies and other non-human entities (e.g. corporations) cannot have accounts.
3. Each individual human may only create one account on the website. In other words, duplicate or second accounts are strictly prohibited.
4. Even if your original account was banned or deactivated or "deleted", then you are still not allowed to create another account. The rule against creating multiple accounts applies to each human for their entire life. In other words, you are not allowed to create a new account at this website (OnlinePhilosophyClub.com) if you ever created an account before in your life.
To ensure those rules are enforced, many new restrictions and questionnaires and identity verification steps will be phased in for potential members attempting to create a new account.
Shortly after that is implemented, non-premium members will also eventually be required to choose between the following three options:
1) Upgrading to premium at full price ($100 per year).
2) Undergoing the extra identity verification steps required of new (and non-premium) members, which will still have a roughly one-time $5 cost, namely due to charges issued to us by third-parties to conduct identity verification steps, not the least of which is the cost to send OTPs via SMS messages for phone number verification and 2-step authentication login processes.
3) Discontinuing their membership with website entirely.
Each day that goes by, it gets harder and harder for a person to prove their own humanity and identity because the AIs and bots are getting better every day at pretending to be human. Thus, the longer you wait to get in, the harder it is going to be to get in.
Unlike humans who take 9 months to come out, 100 billion AI bots can be created in seconds. The ratio of bots to humans will very soon be 1000000000:1 if it's not already there.
I intend for this to be one of the few websites in which we success keep out that 1000000000 and only let in members of that 1 in the 1000000000:1.
Generally speaking, anyone who is already a premium member or who upgrades before the end of August will be exempt from any additional costs for identity verification, and will be exempt from most of the new identity verification requirements. In other words, for the most part, once you've proven your humanity while it's still relatively easy, you will be exempt from having to re-prove it in the near future when it's much much much harder and much much much more expensive.
Your understanding is appreciated!

My entire political philosophy summed up in one tweet.
"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.
