Change Members++ seriously

Wish · Posted: 15 Sep 2010 11:43 am Post subject: Change Members++ seriously

This isn't the first time I see scamming with the members++ title.

Almost 99% of the people think, members++ title is earned for trust and honesty.

ITS NOT
it can be bought in the shop for 2,5k fg.

change that.

or name it different. I mean I've seen alot of scams ( people always think, they give first to members++ because they are trusted )

some of the many cases:

http://www.d3jsp.org/viewtopic.php?t=41475
http://www.d3jsp.org/viewtopic.php?t=40204

and thats not all. But as you can see, those amounts are high.
Tramway seriously, change that.
I know there has been talks about it, but we never got into it.
It needs to be different. I dont know how it should be renamed but that shouldnt be the problem.

Too much scams, members++ isnt earnable, its buyable.

Change that.

Thats my suggestion,do you agree, or not?

Maybe Members++ should be a title earned by people that help around the forum. Not bought.
It could mean you're a helper... Like, a lesser Junior Mod.

The REAL Members++ Could be changed to Steady Donor or something like that.
Or maybe just get rid of it and refund the fg to people who have bought it. :3

i dont see the issue. i mean i realize members ++ means differnet things to different people. but as it stands. it is a member who has gone above that of an ordinary member in supporting the site. therefore they have a special title and can lock/move their topics.

It doesnt need to be changed into something earned, its merely a way of showing off, kind of like the rainbow orbs and such that people so deeply cherish. There have to be fg sinks, otherwise the economy would be worth less than it already is. I say keep it.

Personally i think we need an automated message system that sends out a message to all new members giving them a brief bulleted rundown of the site along with links something like:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Members ++ doesn't mean anything to me. If I am to trade with someone. Unless either I have traded with them before, or is a Junior mod or higher. I will go first to them. But anyone else they have to go first. Oh and anyone who is 2010 no matter what, they go first. Not happy then don't trade with me cause I won't let there be a scam going threw me.

The idea of pillo is good.
Then the nrmew users should know that m++ isnt if they looked it when not it is their own pitch

yeah I agree. Members++ is pretty retarded to have available for purchase.

I don't think it should be changed just because people are ignorant to what it actually is.

Pretty stupid to achive 2.5k fg to buy title then scam..

i mean 2.5k fg is ~ 50$ i wouln't spend that much only to scam

however i must admint that i want that rank briggrin

so donations will come soon i guess..
my goal on this forum is to get trusted / helpful
as i've done on all other forums..

04 eon member
05 jsp member
05 elitepvper member

etc..

i like members ++ thing, but i have to agree it should be something you earn OR have XX helpful post / and cost fg's or something like that

Excuse my bad spellings im not that sober atm xD

i don't see the issue, im not trying to stir up any bad mojo but clean1 proved you can buy a tag......

When i first joined i though M++ was a sign of trust but within a few hours on the site i was told it could be bought, not like i had time to get scammed.
Personally i want to get M++ simply to remove the posting wait time. Could care less about anything else and wouldn't expect respect or trust from gaining it.

MEMBEERS ++ IS NOT A TAG THAT SAYS SOMEONE IS TRUSTWORTHY IF SOMEONE THINKS THEY ARE THEY NEED TO READ SITE RULES

IF SOMEONE SAYS THEY ARE TRUSTED BECAUSE THEY HAVE A M++ TAG THEY ARE LIEING

PLEASE EVERYONE GET THIS INTO YOUR HEADS
