Phasing out SVU discussion

[Aklan]

I personally haven't gotten SVU for the exact reason that I didn't have a paypal setup and was never going to use fake info. As a result, I feel a legacy rank is unfair on those who, like me, were honest about it.

1000000% we could keep/use a mobile verification for removal of 2fa or password resets

 

And what about us $300+ donors who much prefer our custom ranks?
Nothing?

Just spit-balling ideas at this point, a special legacy rank really does nothing to help the problem that was SVU being a rank that people used as an indicator of trust as it's still a rank.

This ^ I'm also fine with a prize box or $25 donor added. Honestly, I'm also fine with no compensation at all

I know that's why we are getting rid of it.

Richard is asking us what we believe fair compensation is for the loss of the svu rank

So outright getting out of the system, which means $30 has to be compensated, so just give us the $25 to our donation rank? I'd say that's suitable.

 

SVU always seemed sort of counterproductive for the reasons that you stated. Glad this is being phased out - it gave the appearance (to some) that people were more trusted than they really are.

 

In fairness 25$ would be fair, and also it would probably cause more people to donate to sythe if I'm honest

For example I'm 50$ donor right now, I'd probably end up donating another 25$ if I had been given the 25$ for SVU to just bump it up to 100$, closes the gap a little bit and others would probably do it also

 

I think $25 would be too much. Aslong as the ability to add your phone number to your profile for recovery reasons will be added very soon I'd be fine with a pricebox or whatever. But then again that'll make miniranks alot less rare and it's still a 10$ compensation atleast. I think re-adding the legacy ranks is another suggestion to discuss, somewhere else.

Add the $25 balance to their donor rank and or offer a prize box.

Give us 3 prize boxes and we're good.

 

I agree, most kinds of verification are pointless.

Address verification? Send it to your friend. ID? Have one created on the deep web for $25. Phone number? Burner phone or free texting app.

I don't even think 'enhanced verification' for trusted users is worth it. If people want to verify someone they should do it themselves / some developer can fill the gap / use existing sites that do that.

I agree with the others, seems like a $25 donation credit would be sufficient. Although if you didn't give out anything I personally wouldn't give a shit.

 

Mobile verified minirank (or rank). Could also add an automated mobile account recovery system that sends texts to the registered number possibly?

Or if you want to get away with it altogether, give them all a prizebox each and call it a day

Instead of a special legacy rank for those who have had SVU I'd like to see access to legacy donor ranks granted. It's something I've suggested previously and heaps of people much prefer the old donor ranks, they're also fairly rare now too.

Agree alongg the lines with these

 

I think 25$ is too much for compensation, 10$ max imo (or a prizebox). I would be fine with no compensation aswell.

i like this. clean and simple. i dont think there should be a legacy funrank for this

 

[Superfluous]

also, dont SVU donations also count towards normal donations? dont see why a separate donation total for money spent on SVU is necessary

 

[Buyacc]

25$ or prizebox would make me happy

 

Special Legacy Rank seems like a good option.

Or a free prizebox, but not sure if that can crash certain rank values

afaik the $5 you pay doesn't increase your donation balance.

 

Either a small amount of donation credit or a prizebox would be fine as compensation. I don't think having another rank would be appropriate as part of the problem with SVU to begin with is that it has its own rank, like Jack said.
