Limiting mutes to 3
You are now limiting the number of mutes to 3, or "start a free trial to Pro". After the free trial is over then what happens? Go Pro @ $75/mo or continue on "Basic" with only 3 mutes available? I am not interested in Pro, so my choices will then be to accept annoying posts ("noise") on StockTalks, or sign off. Of course, if I sign off I will no longer be seeing your ads. Is this really what you want to accomplish?
This is to me an artificial and arbitrary crippling of StockTalks. I am worried of what next basic feature will be used to steer people to SA Pro. Even if that was if muting was a perfectly a propos feature to drive SA Pro membership, it's too expensive for me. I dissaprove of the change and I am considering taking my chatting business elsewhere.
