@SuperbattleshipYamato well it was alot different back when we allowed Politics to flourish. Mary and Jennifer used to get into great battles, then we had Sexual Harassment Panda, Mr. Smith, et al who posted like 30 times a day. I recall about 3 others who were nasty but eventually drifted off under a rock.

Unfortunately the avatar idea is trickier than it seems so:Bronze: badge
Silver: no ads, badge
Gold: discount, no ads, badgeI think that this idea is the best of what I’ve heard so far. I think that maybe perhaps the higher tiers might need to come at a higher price if costs have increased. Right now we have:
Bronze - $10
Silver - $25
Gold - $50I like Bronze at $10 - I contributed a little bit, here’s proof. But maybe we might think about Silver at $30 and Gold at $60. Higher tiers - get more after giving more. I know I don’t speak for everyone, but I’d chip in $60 for gold. And yes, it put my money where my mouth is, when I do send my PayPal for my gold, I’ll send $60 this year.
Also, why not a Platinum tier. Do it for, say, $100. I don’t know if I’d plop down for that, but I guess it depends on what you or someone else can think up for possible Platinum tier benefits besides a badge that might get confused for Silver…
Another idea - sign up for Patreon.com. Perhaps some people who can’t do $50 in one shot can do $5 every month - which would be $60 for you, minus whatever Patreon charges.

As promised, I dropped $60 for Gold. Now to see how long it takes el Jefe to get caught up to his backlog…
