The incentive can be anything if it's based on promotions. Personally, I'd stick with a persistent notice and stick with no e-mails being sent to them. However, other forum admins may want to go a step further and stop members from viewing or posting in certain sections, which they can do via permissions. Generally speaking, I know that on some forums I run that this change will cause some users to walk away as soon as they run into difficulty.

Yeah that's fine, but if there's an option not to enforce these rules, we can both be happy . If it wasn't enforced guest permissions, it could be set to be much more flexible using the existing promotions/permissions system - the way everything else is done.
