A perfectly reasonable donation perk for $5/$25

[Surround Sound]

A new, really good suggestion by Harped: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=778279



I'm going to get right into it; I recently donated $5 and am quite frankly happy with the current perks I get :love:. However, others are not so I'm going to make a suggestion for an additional perk for $5 and $25 donators.

Firstly, to clear it up, a UT(User title) is your status based on post-count e.g
Leecher (0-24 posts)
Member (25-99 posts)
Active Member (100-249 posts)
Forum Addict (250-599 posts)
Apprentice (600-999 posts)
Guru (1000-1999 posts)
Grand Master (2000 to unlimited posts)


As you become a $50 donator you can change this to whatever you want, within reason e.g 'Gp emperor'

What I'm suggesting is this:
$5 donator's current post-count based UT can be in bold/italic/underlined e.g
Forum Addict, Forum Addict or Forum Addict
Debate on whether only one type of the above can be used.

$25 get the above and their UT is green to match the Green H'ween mask icon e.g
Forum Addict, Forum Addict, Forum Addict, or Forum Addict

Also, it's been suggested that the dark-green colour on the dark blue of the website might look unappealing, but it could also be changed to GOLD/YELLOW to match the coins between the masks in the rank. This would look at least decent on the blue, and have the same effect.

Forum Addict, Forum Addict, Forum Addict, or Forum Addict.

OR

Forum Addict, Forum Addict, Forum Addict, or Forum Addict

As $50 and $100 donators might object, I'm thinking maybe:

$50 donators might get a coloured post count/join date or something along similar lines.

$100 donators could get an option to display their contact details (I.e Msn or aim adress) in the bar above their posts. It could be in the join date/ post count location. This would mean instead of buyers having to click through profiles and look at signatures, the donator would have it in every post.

Debate?



Post your support and if I can be bothered I'll add you to the list below. Both donators and non-donators are welcome.

Rank opinions:

It isn't necessary. Most people donate just to get a friggin user title so we might as well make them pay more...

The more you get when you donate the more people donate.

No, It's confusing and completely irrelevant...

Ouch.

I'll mention this to Matthew. Seems reasonable enough.

I support. It's a good idea so why not?

Support, applies to me. This should be one of the more to come.

I wouldn't mind this going into effect. After all if you support the site financially the least we can do is give you a title.

Hmmm, that's not too bad of an idea, but, they would also have to add more to the $50/100 rank to make up for it. Support.

Lol at your spam reports.

I suggest making your currect user title (E.g Forum Addict is mine) bold/italic/underlined for $5, and in green + the former for $25.

Currently:

$100 USD+ Donator
Donation: Between $100 and $199.99
Rank:

Benefits: Enhanced User Title (Colors, bold/italic, etc.)*

That's a perk for a higher donation.

$5 perk in my opinion, is where it should be. Its a low amount of money, You have an icon showing you donated which should help provide trust. However the $25 one, should have a perk because that's 5 times the $5 donation.

The perk for $5 should be exactly what's at the top, but I don't like how it says 'Benefits: To be determined...', because the current for it is fine.

Benefits all Donators Get
&#8226; Access to the Donator's Lounge
&#8226; A Bigger PM Box (500 Messages, Instead of 250)
&#8226; Hidden Mode (Lets you appear offline on the forum)
&#8226; More to come...

I agree with this.

If the $50/100 weren't changed, then I would not.

I'll try to think of a new perk for $50/$100 over my fish and chips .

Extremely pointless and maybe confusing to new members. No.

Extremely pointless?
The rank 'Cracker Head' is pointless.
Custom UT enhancement is pointless.
Username image is basically pointless.

Most aesthetics are pointless.

Confusing?
Custom UT is confusing
Enhanced UT is confusing

Most aesthetics are confusing.

It's just a little add-on to reward donators and make more people donate. I know that you know that I know that you know that 80% of people who donate do it solely for the rank and rewards, not the cause.

Welcome to reply to this btw...

 

[theezakje]

Well, why not. I agree

Pointless - I don't think so
Confusing - Indeed

I support anyway.

Go to a bank and change your kronors to dollars.

I support, but only because it applies to me.

Possibly confusing, yes.

Pointless? No.

People donate to the site to help it, which is a double argument for what I'm about to say, so why not at least give them something in return? Especially if it's not costing Sythe anything.

You may throw the argument "Well, you're donating to help the site and nothing more, so why do you need perks?"

Well, nobody donates solely to help the site, most just want the rank.

Don't try and give suggestions while typing the whole guide in bold. Because it makes it hard to give examples "Forum Addict, Forum Addict or Forum Addict" aren't they all bold?

How is giving a $100 donator a bar with their MSN a perk? We all can do that, just go to your profile.

The only thing I support here is a $25 donator rank perk improvement, not necessarily your idea for it however. Green would look terrible on the blue.

I guess I am a Hat0rz.
