I know there are many topics that have been posted about the store but I was just wondering if we could add anything to it. The only things that are really worth buying are the Highlights though Fx users cannot see them. I was thinking we could add things that poeple could buy like.

Lower Warn level - lowers warn level 20%
More Pm space - Gives 20 - 50 more Pms
More Attatchment Space - 5 more Mb


any other ideas?

1 - So the rich can evade bans but poor can't?

2 - Yea, maybe a 10 PM for 500 minerals could work for admins.

3 - 5Mb lol? Maybe admins would let you have 100Kb extra for minerals, but not 5MB.

Well idk, its just an idea, but I was thinking that the money needed to buy these would be a lot. Like 1000 to 2000. and like 5000 for lowering your warn level. SO even the rich could only do it once or twice.

Warns should not be lowered for having huge amount of minerals.

Then maybe some other type of buyable product, I was just giving ideas. Does anyone have any ideas that would make the store more usable. In the store the only other thing you can buy like these are seeing someones warn level.

Oh dear. This could be problematic. The admins have reasons for limiting space in sigs and attachments. If sigs get too big, then the forum pages can't show as much. And the odds of winning the raffle...you can't mess with the laws of probability. I vote a very strong NO to the poll suggestion--the rich would get more votes than everyone else (although it would be more like real life. ) Basically, I think the store is fine, because if it actually does something useful then the admins will have a harder time administrating.

Someone with some good ideas! Yes, is anyone else thinking about this? I think we should add some of these that the admins say is okay. I like these!

These ideas are lame as they all make users with minerals better than others.

1) No way. Spammers could have a never ending clean warnlog. Like DEAD says, this favors the rich, and the rich getting away with everything pisses us off enough in real life.

2) I like this idea. My regularness didn't provide me with enough PM space.

3) Same as above.


1) This one sounds iffy. If it became a fad to get big signatures, then that would mean a lot more scrolling for everyone and a lot more lag for people with slower comps.

2) I don't see why. It might give some people the impression you say everything you wanna say perfectly the first time around. It's not like the "edited lalala" gives you extra minerals.

3) Again, this favors the rich. It might also screw up whatever system they have for calculating it in the first place.

4) This would allow you to hide the fewer minerals you have for buying the thing in the first place. It seems like a waste of time to code and figure out.

5) I like this one. Although it does favor the rich, once again. Maybe you can only buy it once a week or something...

6) Ditto.

7) Tritto (omg new word).

8) Another "rich get richer" sounding idea. I'd rather keep the current mineral gathering methods of posting and gambling.

9) Definitely not for site-important opinion polls. The side with the richer members would win every time because of this. This might only be useful in forum games, but like no. 4, it just seems like a waste of time to code.

10) This has the potential to cause so many fights. I disagree.

Well then, what's the current system? Post a lot and you get stuff. I'd say minerals are somewhat more accurate and provide gradual progression rather than big chunks at 300 and 1337 posts.

SO does this mean that we will have some more choices in the store later on, maybe v4.1 but we should deffinately have some in the v5 forums!

My current plan is to do away with regular and elite status... and instead be able to buy things like a personalized colored name... more pm space... more attachment space... etc. The way it figures out, quite logically, if you post more, you are a more active user on SEN... and posting more = more minerals. Minerals can transfer into things you need most (attachment space). Instead of some new user coming around and uploading 10 one megabyte movies and disappearing... not that anyone has actually done that before (hopefully), but you get the point. Space is a continous issue, and if there is some type of space allotment to members, the more serious ones should get more.

If you do that make sure not to keep like the color of peoples names white

Yes, 7-7, all the things that you suggested would is like just becoming a regular using minerals. Most of it.

I <3 the new v5 ideas. Can't wait. Shame all my perdy minerals will be gone, though.
I like some of the ideas posted above, but making your vote in a poll count more is one of the worst ideas on this page -.-.

What were you trying to say here? How could you become a regular with minerals?

I think we should add some of the ideas here to the store on v4!

Coloured names for v4... Also, Dood/DEAD, you can fine people when warning so the infinite clean slate argument doesn't really work.

I like the regular/elite system. It helps tell the difference between who the newer members are, etc.

agreed, minerals show very little about time here. since they can be spent, whereas posts can't. is karma supposed to be like a replacement though?

Yes, I think we should keep them, or maybe change a little bit, maybe change them to Members: 0 - 99 posts. Regulars 100 - 1999 posts. Elites 2000+

Oh yea. That would be cool to warn someone, and then watch as they immediately buy a warn reduction, and then take ALL of their minerals.

Shoot, in that case go ahead and code it just so I can do that.

Ya, warn them and then set their minerals to 1 less then they need to buy a warn reduction. That would be hilarious, lol. But I think we should be a bit more matue about it then that!

WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER!
