Phasing out SVU discussion

[Superfluous]

I'm kind of disappointed I paid for my SVU to add a layer of trust to my account. I understand the reasoning behind removing it because of scams going on, but giving me a "prizebox" doesn't really make up for the 5 dollars I paid. I literally had just gotten it too so I didn't even get any use out of it.... bought on June 19th and in less than 1 month (July 15th) you come up with a post removing it.....I wish I had know that in less than 1 month of buying something it would just get taken away. Maybe for those who got a good one year use out of it and then got a "prizebox" thing to make up for it doesn't matter much to them but I had just paid for something and in 1 month it gets removed....

open your prize box, sell your minirank for $5, and move on

you could have sold it for $10-$15 which is double/triple the amount you paid for your SVU verification. i think that more than makes up for the $5 you paid for the SVU verification lol

@Sythe kinda sad i lost it to be honest as it devalues my new account making me look less trustworthy as its only fresh and my old account had a ugly name which i would of kept only i didnt know i could request Username changes untill i actually donated/verified this account- all in all what you've said is true and i agree 100%.

I believe a strong solution would be:

1. Removing SVU
2. Giving previous SVU holders a bonus $25 to their rank
3. Allow users to update their phone number through the UC in order to recover their accounts easier
4. Give reputable members (chosen at staff discretion) the opportunity to obtain SVU through more thorough methods (perhaps and address check via mail?) It might cost a bit, but I'm sure I'm not the only one willing to put up some money to receive the new SVU rank. Perhaps the people who previously had SVU and acquire the more thorough version could get a "legacy" version of SVU or some sort? Just a thought.

Would be great and also think #4 would be a great/viable option.
