VIP idea

[Cixso]

Well I want it for:

Hide the identity of the VIP (I am sneaky so I can see who actually -repped me ),
See who repped me,
More PM size,
Lock/Close my own thread,

That's all really... Not bothered about avatars etc.

I really can't see 1 problem with this...

Its a nice idea as it would create more revenue for the forum and it only takes a few minutes to set it up etc.

Sorry this won't be happening - it has been discussed with upper management and it has been rejected for the following reasons:

- We don't really want to add any more colours as theres a point when it just gets silly having so many. Most big forums offer 1-3, we offer far more than that.

- The next point is that we want VIPs to be clearly shown visable so we can tell who should be allowed a bigger avatar, bigger sig and a user title for moderation purposes.

- We want it vip's to stand out so if someone bad reps, he/she will know if he can see he has who repped him.

Thats a very good idea

Some people might not buy vip because they like to keep a low profile.

I hope they bring it out.

I agree with you but its pretty simple to set it up so cant see why they would'nt give it a go.

Why would admin need to know if somebody is vip? of course they could check easily enough if there was any reason they needed to.
the subscription ends on its own and if the user had access to the vip forums to ask for stuff to be set up they must be vip

Not too bad of an idea, I'll talk with MAD about it. The only issue I saw was if the member was a VIP, it only matters with closing threads and that really.

Maybe if we look into making a "View VIP Members" page which works similar to the Forum Leaders (Now called Staff List), like the original plan was, then we could see who are members of this group.

I am sure there is a way to do it, I might even look into it.

But the reason they would want this is so they are not seen as vip?

admin can always check in admin cp if needed.

You dont need to add any more colours just a thread in the VIP forum requesting your VIP to be hidden, not displayed as default. Simple.

- The next point is that we want VIPs to be clearly shown visable so we can tell who should be allowed a bigger avatar, bigger sig and a user title for moderation purposes.
Another simple way around it, add a IF condition to the profile or postbit which only Moderators can see which says "This user is VIP" its really easy to do. And tbh, stops you moaning.

- We want it vip's to stand out so if someone bad reps, he/she will know if he can see he has who repped him.
Yes, but thats reputation and not the colour. keep up.

I want VIP but i dont want the colour.

Srsly, if were paying for it anyway then you cant moan. :rolleyes:

Yh i bumped as i think this is a good idea and needs adding really.

I was not AGM when I wrote that so had no input on any possible new VIP.

I quite liked the idea of being vip but looking like a normal member but if it has recently been discussed I doubt there will be a change over this.

I never thought about the avatar and sig rule so agree with Mad unless normal user looking vip's had to keep within normal member size limits? if you bought it to look like a normal member and then using vip features that made you look like a vip would be silly.

The debate continues but I doubt it will come in now.

ERGH.

I hate the vip colours, rather not have the colour but pay for the features mainly see who left rep. :]

I don't appreciate your tone. Like I said, this has been discussed and has been rejected already. VIPs must be clearly visible to mods and everyone else.

Why do they?

Plus, just have Habbox VIP in the user title.
