We could use more real time community discussion to coordinate games among many more people.
Limiting this to only premium users is a bit unneccessary. (unless you are only doing it for the incentive to buy premium)

I proposed in the submitted suggestion to replace the criteria for users allowed in general chat to:

(premium users)
OR
(users with 90% or more karma and
users with over 200 games played and
users without a communication ban )

Personally, I disable this chat, because there are too many messages that I don't care about.
So allowing more people to post there doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

If you want to chat with players to organize new tables for a popular game, you may want to join a group dedicated to that game.
Then you will be able to use the chat of this group, reaching only the players of that game.
You can do this by searching for a group by its name on the community page
(Example for Yokai: Yokai players)
