Bungie.net premium subscription idea? (Updated)
To improve the quality of posters, I think bungie.net should have a premium member subscription. The benefits would include being able to post 7 topics per day (normal unpaid members would only be able to post 1 or 2 topics), customizable profiles that don't require coup, and a special member title, as well as being able to post in special forums for premium members only.
I think this would improve the quality of the forums because premium users will think about what they post before they post it because they are more worried about breaking the rules since they paid for their membership. Normal members would put more thought into what they post since they only have one post per day. What do you guys think of this idea?
EDIT: I just had another idea. There would also be a limited number of replies to a topic a user can have withing a certain amount of time. For example, let's say an unpaid user can only reply to a thread 3 times every 30 minutes. That forces the user to think about what they are going to say before they reply.
EDIT: Ok, so you guys aren't a big fan of that idea. How about this: topic credits you can purchase. You can purchase however many topic credits you want, and with each topic you post after your alloted 1 or 2 topics per day, you use up one of these topic credits. Does this sound like a better idea? It gets rid of the elitism problem.

Sorry, but no, not at all. [i]Never.[/i] In my opinion, that would be worse than Bungie implementing a system where your title dictated how much you could post.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SharkTooth__ [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] FailingAtLife [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xReconAssassinX Holy crap... what did I just witness? Okay, if there was going to be ANY type of subscription for this website, it should have absolutely no restrictions on posting whatsoever. My type of subscription would include: -Ability to change username once every 3-4 years. -Exclusive avatars. -Exclusive profile backgrounds. -Exclusive group backgrounds. -Ability to choose from unlocked prefixes (included with a premium only prefix). -Access to closed forums, such as the Voting Booth. -Possibly a slight boost in trust points, similar to linking your WLID. -Possibly have the ability to send mass PMs. -Possibly have the ability to view our entire ban history. -Possibly have the ability to be notified when you're quoted. -Also, the ability to be invulnerable to the Mods. [/quote]Why should you be invulnerable to the mods? [/quote] I'll second you on my agreement with that. It would break the website.[/quote] -_- The sarcasm in this one is weak.

How is this thread still going? This "idea" is so bad that I'm wondering if there is some sort of hidden joke in the topic that we are all missing.

I'd pay to have you permabanned from this site. This is by far, the stupidest, most embarrassing post I've seen in my time here on the forums. The idiocy that went into that post baffles me. You will be the first person slingshotted into the sun.

I really don't think paying for a forum is a good idea, period. Forums are free services for communities to discuss and debate (and devolve in some cases) whatever subject the forum is on. So no, OP, sorry but I don't support your idea.
-
I hate this idea for multiple reasons: 1. It costs money for us to give Bungie feedback/ideas (something they WANT from US) 2. It limits the amount of feedback/ideas we can submit 3. It will drastically lower the amount of activity on the forums 4. It makes it so that the people who pay more will get their voices heard more over the people who don't pay (skewing feedback based on money, not on how many people like/dislike things)
-
No, that'd steer away the community from participating in discussions.
