What we could do, is have the price of changing your name be 100 minerals for the first time, 300 for the second, 500 for the third. So on and so forth, this way it will be used only when necessary, because someone changing their name for the fifth time would have to pay 900 minerals.

Hmm that brings something to mind now. Maybe there should only be a "discount" for users who are joining clans and want there title to incorperate it. Like the person with the permission of the clan leaders would request an admin or global moderator to then grant them a 250 mineral worth title change but only at that time. but thats just an opinion.

I would support leader-endorsed free name changes that only comprised the addition/removal of a clan tag to someone's SeN name.

e.g. Member to Mp)Member or vice-versa.

That would be an excellent idea. Is that possible?

Last I checked, it's been already implemented in v5.

I can think of a way to use minerals! People cant post unless they pay a certain amount of minerals..so this will stop ppl from posting spam!

If that was implemented, newly registered members wouldn't ever be able to post. ohmy.gif

I think this topic is worthless. Do we need minerals? No. Do we need SEN? No. Do we like having them? Yes.

Just for the note I think that minerals sould be used for more than just all the above. I think that they should be say, unlocking certian features of the site mabye? For use in competetions or the like.

Also what if people got the "glow" simply my having the amount of minerals, not buying somthing, it white for less that 150, yellow for the higher amounts, etc, etc. This would be a very simple way of showing status.... Just a thought....

Hmm... i wonder what mooses colour would be, pulsing? happy.gif

Lol 2,707,731 minerals..... pinch.gif

Here is also another idea... what about minerals for pageloads? Or gas? One way of using gas is 10 gass = 1 mineral or somthing.... I am not sure of the use of gass in v5, i cant get anywere in it, not even to the index.... huh.gif

I don't like the idea of gas. It will make things cost less, but it will still be as hard to get the minerals. Minerals is the way to go..not gas pinch.gif

How about just add another field to their user data to append or prefix a clan tag? That way they don't have to outright change their name, but their name will show up with the clan label in their posts.

You can even create groups or buy stuff for clans using that, similar to users. Colors, effects, etc. (which would show up on the clan tag part of their names only).

Hmmm, how about having a sort of advertisement Map Spotlight. Like, on the top of Map Showcase or something there could be 5 advertisement spots, and you could pay for your map to be up there for a certain amount of time.

But it have to be expensive... ;P

It doesnt have to be expensive. It's gonna be for a week only. So about 25-100 minerals would be fine. So it would be the first to give the minerals gets their Map Advertised. Also it should be where the map has to be rated, and if it is better than a 5/10 can be advertised..to keep the bad maps out wink.gif

This is already in v5, so it won't get added to v4. All I'm doing is supporting this manually in v4.

I really like the idea about having the clan tags color, effects, and such in v5. We should have some more ideas that you can buy just for your clan, maybe when you join a clan you should get a free name change to add tags, and when you leave pinch.gif

I'm participating quite a bit but forum posts dont count much nowadays. Getting better on a mapping contest is waay more effective and for those mappers who are still learning its hard to get that many minerals.
