Am thinking the fine for registrations for new members which is IP fine is a random thing and a new one. The IPs may not have committed anything to cause fines on them. I do not know how administrators of this forum reached that conclusion to be charging new registrations through fines. Some years ago the forum did not have anything like this evil fees but now it's so different.
Something that's been around for close to a decade now, you are still saying that it's new to the forum?
Evil score visualisation According to the link shared above and what I know about it, it's not just given to every new member that registers here, but it's also given to those whose relative or anyone sharing the same IP with them has committed evil, which gets them banned.
New users from that area will be charged to pay for the evil even when they are not the ones who committed it, and the charges are based on rating. If the score of that IP is high, then the person will pay more, and if it's low, they will pay less, which will be close to almost zero.
