Donation idea

[KRF]

right first off, I understand that people may not like this suggestion.

I have an idea, at the moment we have a user group called, "Privileged Users", from what I can tell it stop posts being moderated, how about having the option to also have the adds removed from the site fully.

And also be able to embed YouTube videos, and maybe costomise there profile page.

Here is the catch tho, for people that want to do this, there is a one time fee of $10 (or somthing) this would make up for the loss in add rev, by not having them there.

The people that would be paying for this would be members that want to stay, as they wouldn't be paying for it if they didn't, (money is also an isue, and peple may not be able to pay for the "Privileged Users" status)

Also add a user title, and user image like you have for Admin and mods, but saying Privileged Users.

Again, this is just an idea, not hating, or flaming please if it's a bad idea, thats fine as most people wont like it.

But please be open minded, and staff have a chat about it and see what you think

It might be a big help to the forum and to the regular users. I'll think about this.

Anyone else have some ideas of what could be offered to VIP/Donors?

Thanks again for the suggestions KRF.

Ok here are my ideas to start the ball rolling

• Remove adds
• No moderating posts
• Can post links in very first post (this is for people that donate before posting)
• Profile customisation
• Maybe make a donation forum where only people that have donated get to hang out
• Have bigger space for a forum Sig
• Turn on BB code in forum sigs lol at that one
• Stop other non donaters enbedding vidoes, and only let donated member be able to do this
• A change of user name colour to show that you are a member that has donated***

These may work or not just some ideas

*** If this does happen, maybe ther shold be a user name colour change like this, Admins Mods Donated users normal members and maybe having a star like you said would also help donated membes stand out

Again just an idea

So I'm still up for the idea of the donations, I will donate just to be put in a user group to get rid of the add the site has, any chance this may happen?

[sprucemagoo1]

I would pay a membership fee and wouldn't mind if you keep the add, as long as there were more work flowing through!

[KRF]

by more work, what do you mean?

[sprucemagoo1]

People coming to the site to pay for one of us to do some photoshop magic. What did you think I meant?

[KRF]

I didn't understand what you meant, thats why I asked lol, but it does sound like a good idea, alas, the forum will need some work doing to it before that will happen

And by the way Blackpool, really?

[sprucemagoo1]

Yep, I'm sure it seems good to people coming to visit, but it's rubbish living here.

[KRF]

lol nope it don't seam good for people coming to visit, plus I live in Burnley, so if I cared about football, I really shouldn't like you ha ha ha
