So in order to bring some new life to the Premium Membership Program (not the Premium Seller one). I would like to ask you all what sort of cool little perks would you guys like to see in order to improve the value of the membership and make it more enticing. Your best ideas will be discussed and possibly added as a perk in the future!
Things that are definitely off the table:
- Ban Prevention. Breaking the rules is breaking the rules, this cannot make you exempt from that.
- Faster approval. While a good idea in theory, staff should and usually does get to every approval as soon as they can, so this offers little intrinsic value, and I believe would just cause a small rift between regular members who just wish to contribute and premium members.
- Marketplace perks. This falls solely under Premium Seller, and as such it is entirely up to Arun to determine its benefits.
- Price change. $25 for an account's lifetime is pretty good value, when it could be a yearly subscription.
- Remember that we are bound by VBulletin, so any perk ideas have to be able to be implemented within the confines of the forum and its plugins. Though if we do change the software in the near future, this thread may be revisited.
If I think of anything else, I will amend this thread. Obviously any new perks will be retroactive and granted to all current and future Premium Members, so no need to worry about that.
Serious suggestions only please. If you agree with a suggestion, feel free to thank the post. This will give me some perspective as to which ideas are more popular.
Thank you!
