Stickies.

I was just wondering if 'paid for stickies' have ever been considered?

Basically, give people the option to pay $ XX.XX to have their thread stickied for 'X' length of time.

The benefits would be if someone is selling a fairly high priced account/service and wants it advertised without having to bump it every 20 minutes.

Maybe there would have to be qualifications in order to buy this.

Not too sure, just a suggestion.​

 

Been suggested and has been denied.

 

Time to revist the topic?

 

it would be too easy to scam with this.

 

X amount of vouches.
X join date.

The cost could be X % of the sale price of the item/service being sold.

---

All this to prevent scamming and keeping stuff legit.
Plus it could earn sythe some extra money that could be put towards server costs?

 

I think this is a pretty good idea, but keep it limited for the amount of stickies at once, otherwise there would be like a whole page of stickies

 

people will just intstantly trust the person as they have paid to put there item at the top, it could work but alot of people would get scammed i think...

 

Thats why he suggested that you need an X amount of vouches/posts...

 

Yes because post count is essentially = trust?

Post count has never been and never will be = trust in anyones eyes.

 

I think this could work but I think we should start small allow only mods/omm's buy these stickies if it works well then we expand allow certain trusted members to buy them. If it doesn't work with omm's/mods then no harms done because I doubt they'd abuse it.
