Anniversary VIP

[dbgtz]

So it's OK to remove someone who was once in the Merit usergroup, an achievement, but it's not OK to remove graphics from the elites? This forum has really inconsistent moderation.

On the topic of the thread, I personally do not see a permanent reward for 5 years necessary.

I personally feel that adding/extending the userbar is pointless, it is something much better saved for say the ten year anniversary which is not far off any longer. Also some people already have two or even three user bars, if you start adding an anniversary one as well then things will get out of hand.

All of these still stand in my case except for currently having an infraction (for saying that a moderator is not very good... fair obv), having originally been accepted for the "outstanding contribution" part rather than management for a year as I certainly was not not a huge deal just remembered it because I saw MissAlice has it and it was never adequately explained to me why contributions once believed to be more than enough were suddenly not up to standard

Retroactive removal is certainly not fair, particularly for something such as "outstanding contribution", that suddenly turns from recognition of all people who contribute into people who contribute and the current general manager likes.

I would also like to see not a further three months but certainly one month on subsequent anniversaries.

anniversary vip is so hideous it'd be a lot better without the shadow imo

It used to have no shadow actually.

I will admit I probably used the wrong word ‘Dedication’. If I have offended anyone it was not my intention. The purpose of this thread was to raise the very fact that once you’ve had your Anniversary VIP, nothing else follows.

If the majority are of the opinion a user bar isn’t needed, then so be it, but I do feel that once you’ve been given a reward of 3 months VIP for a 5th anniversary, then members are most likely to expect something additional later on. If the bar is a no go, then what?

Interesting that the only members posting in this thread have passed the 5 year mark or are close to it.

Yeah what did hoteluser do to it but anyway imo I don't think it's really necessary to have anything else for members who've passed the five year mark. Sure it's a nice little achievement but I'm not sure if I see the purpose? People can easily tell how long you've been a member for from the little bit at the side and I'm sure we already have awards that users can request?

On the other hand, three months VIP runs out really fast and I do see what @MissAlice; is trying to say, five years of contributing to the forum and then getting only three months VIP. Maybe if enough users do want something different though then it should be looked into, I don't really see the harm.

Slightly contradicted myself in them two paragraphs but I'm neither for or against

Maybe you could just add a perk to those who have been there fore 6,7,8 years? Not sure what the perk could be but instead of VIP you could let them have an additional perk each year. Any ideas for what the perk could be are welcome!
