Idea: Tier 6?

Ok this is getting to be too much hassle. all im trying to do is come up with ideas and your all just acting immature. i mean theres no need to be sarcastic or to stoop to making this personal. because of that ill get the thread closed.
 
All they're doing is stating why your ideas are flawed. I'd suggest thinking of some perks that can be done for purely supporters only through the User CP and not throughout the community itself.

I believe that this is the sort of feeling the staff has right now too about this discussion. It's hard to top what we already have.

If by immature you mean providing reasonable reasons why the Idea is impractical or not possible, then yes.

I don't think anyone was being sarcastic or trying to make it personal. The simple fact is that the permissions we already have as Tier 5 donators are way more than what you would get at any other forum. We're not saying that adding another tier for those who have chosen to stand out and donate more than the minimum to get the current maximum benefits isn't a good idea, however the perks we enjoy as 5th tiers are more than enough for now and if a good idea comes along, I'm sure the staff would be happy to implement it.
 
I don't think it should matter. It's about the kindness of donating, not showing off.

But why would those supporters want to be put into a higher tier? As we've already stated, there's no real benefit. You get nothing out of it. People won't think "Woah... he's tier 6, that guy's awesome" will they?

I will! <3

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't see anybody complaining about not getting enough "recognition", so I really don't think we need another tier that is wanted scarcely.
 
Actually, I quite like the idea of another Tier, but if only there were more perks to dish out. =/ That's the main reason it's a no, for the most part. And Tier 5 is a nice odd number. X) With over 40% of Tier 5 supporters donating more than $25, it's not a half bad suggestion. And I kinda disagree with you Gerri on the point that some of you touch over the line a bit when CeReBii® is merely throwing out ideas, while getting trashed by some for even thinking of Tier 6. Sure, mod powers or even some of his suggestions are out of the park, but he's just throwing out ideas. What's a suggestion without pitching ideas, but let's put that whole deal aside.

Why... not? o_O; Let's say Tier 5 & Tier 6 had the exact same perks (for mere example) I'd still say whoa to the fact someone took the time to donate the highest amount possible, I say that for supporters currently, even. And you have to think, if Tier 6 was achievable, people would surely go for it. (But it seems that there just isn't enough perks to go around for it, I guess)

*shrugs* I'm just saying it's not that bad of a suggestion as some make it out to be. Seems that there's just not enough cake to go around the table, that's all.

How is this not bieng sarcastic?
besides, i never said you were bieng immature, GS.
The point is that tier 5 is sufficient. i thought i had a good idea, evidently not, lol.

Nobody said you didn't have a good idea, CeReBii®. They're simply stating that with this idea, you have to have other ideas as well. Since Tier ranks, as we all said already, need perks in order to really separate them, it's hard to accept this idea the way you've thrown it out on the table. Since you originally only said it due to wanting more recognition. If you had listed some perks, for example (I'm just going through the User CP listing anything that pops in my head):

  • Character limit extended by ten for custom user titles - I know I've run out of room trying to put some lyrics to a song that means something to me as my custom user title by just a few characters. (Just an example)
  • Avatar size increase - Not how big it can be; how much bytes it can have.
  • Profile picture size increase - The profile picture limit is 180x180... and only allowes 64.0 KBs, while the avatar size limit is 150x150 and allows 100.0 KBs. (though I think this one should be increased regardless. Whoever heard of a NICE profile picture that's only 64.0 KBs and 180x180 pixels)
  • Inbox increased to 2,000 - Just an example... I see no need for this since I'm perfectly happy with having 1,000 and only using about 20% of it, but other people.. may.
  • Attatchment size increase - (Can't think of anything to say for this as it's just another example)
  • Supporter only style - A PC style available only to supporters? (Created BY supporters.. maybe)
I dunno. Those just came up randomly as I looked through the User CP. But that's what people mean by perks. Not being able to moderate the VIP forum.

Im not particularly bothered if people want to have a go. Like you said, i only was putting it out there- but to be honest i didnt really do my best to come across well. still- if there is so many people against it then theres no point to it.

It'd be kinda nice to actually read my reply since I pointed out that nobody is against you on this. How can anybody be against an idea without knowing more details about it? So, yeah.. kinda check out the post above yours and see what you think. As I think it has some valuable ideas that can come into play here and some I think will inspire others to think of more ideas as well for more perks or just the general being of supporterism. Aside from just you being the one to think of ideas and everyone else trying to state how much of a bad idea of a perk that is.

Yeah i agree. there are some valid ideas- the profile pic kb increase is one i'd like to see implimented.
 
Tier 6 could probably have the perk to have html in their user titles?

(idk, just an suggestion)

These are actually very valid suggestions. I ,for one, would be happy to contribute to a Supporter style if that was arranged.

They weren't really suggestions. I just thought of random "perks" that people could build off of since no one was really suggesting any perk-like things.

If theres no point compensating for the $50+ region then the tier system is inadiquate and is useless
Click to expand...

For the most part, anyone donating $50 or more knew what they were getting when they paid that much. We shouldn't need to accommodate for the few people who donated that much before the tier system was created.

I'm really of the opinion that there's really nothing more we can give the higher payers right now. Maybe down the road when some new stuff comes out, but right now I'm sure you guys can survive with just the five. XD
 
I'm fine just being a 5th tier myself, but I won't disregard any valid suggestion that someone may have for a new perk for any tier level. I'm not saying that the perks we have now aren't great, far from it, but I will say that there's always ways to improve or revise in the future and today's suggestions may very well provide the basis for tomorrows final product/ decision.

I remember, HTML usertitles was discussed a while ago and was rejected because that's a cool Staff feature and because the controlling of that particular feature would put too much pressure on the already heavy workload of the Admins and Assist. Admins as they are the only ones who can set those up.
 
I agree with GS on this one. I honestly see no need for another tier. 5 tiers is plenty enough to have, and new perks can be introduced to the tier 5's first, and then other perks can be pushed down through the top.

So let's say for example they decide to give Tier 5's more PM space... The old limit could always be pushed down to tier 3's and up so they'd effectively benefit too.

Though to be honest, I honestly didn't donate for the perks. I still wouldn't donate just for the perks. I've always enjoyed this site, and I don't mind donating a few bucks here when I can spare it.
 
I rather pay a penny per gallon of tier...
