VIP access requirements

[Cupe]

What do you think the minimum requirements should be for accessing VIP?

There will at least be a way to buy yourself access

But what else?

Post counts? Submitted content? Hookups? Linkswaps? etc.

[ChevChelios]

If you use this

Nah but seriously, post counts = no, cause everyone will just start spamming in stupid threads.

Submitted content = good, should be valid and usable info, knid of hard to track for you though.

Hookups and all that are good too.

My two cents

[CBG]

Personally I think it's should be Caleupe and/or the senior members choice who gets in.

Post count would be good, but yeah, ppl would start spamming.

Think it should be by popular choice.

If you start now, it wont be so bad. Your not gunna have ppl requesting entry EVERY day, cus they would need to be on the site for a fair while allready

i think wait untill youve worked out the rep points system.

and say like once people get to a certain amount or rep points, they msg you. you review them, and if you think they are worthy then they are in.

i also think that when it happens, the current members that frequently visit should be admited staight in

aka cbg, chev, me, broken, yarda yarda, you catch my drift

[Genetic]

you could make it that people that help contribute to keep the site running get access

[JonnyB]

oh yes donators would be a must for vip. who ever donates are beasts

[Tomy]

yearly fee only.

i know all you broke mo-fo;s will have a cry but i think it really is the best way, theres no bullshit involved, no body trying to scam or making fake account etc.

[JonnyB]

can i pay in awsomeness?

[Buck_Choi]

can i pay in awsomeness?

mee toooo!!

[CBG]

The other forum im on has a VIP type thing that allows a bigger avatar and bigger signature, also less exposure to adds and you never get server busy messages.

So maybe select the VIP posters and then request they pay a small fee.

Cant just let any fool get in who pays. Someone like John Myatt will come back and hijack every thread with a rant about "auto DJing" lol

[Tomy]

maybe.... :afro:

[JonnyB]

good point cbg,

how about there is no rules, the admins just notice people that are around the forum frequently and helping and what not and then send them a PM inviting them.

thats the safest way i think.

[Tomy]

yeh all great ideas, have to set up a ADJF VIP board. haha

[Cupe]

I've already made the VIP area

I don't mind the idea of the rep thing. there's a couple good other ideas too

but like it's been said, most of them can be fucked with

also, like tomy said, if you don't want to hang around for an invite you can buy a years worth of VIP access

just gotta work out what shit it can incorporate....

hmmmmmm thinking to do

[CBG]

Well i thought about uploading a some really good Reason 4 tutorials that I paid for. maybe set up a thread with a link with a password.

Stuff like where ppl get songs umm... yeah. ill think of more

[Cupe]

There's a VIP thread section already made

Once you're granted access then you can see all the shit in there but no one else can hr arharharh

[Jaytee]

The rep idea sounds good. A minimum amount of rep should be placed and once reached moderators may review the user.

[ChevChelios]

I dont know about this rep idea. Would it be like users giving other users rep for good posts? Cause I could definately see this site turning into djforums.com were no one will even look at your track or mix without the insentive of being rep'd, which is insainly frustrating.

[CBG]

so where is my access ha punk? lol

Hmmm i am seriously thinking of ideas here...

Chev is right, the rep thing will get abused.

Almost need a feedback system like ebay??

Where you give negative or positive comments.. and the user can appeal them to mods... how about that?

[Tomy]

complex sounding.

there all good idea's though, just need to try and keep it simple but so it cant be abused i reckon.

[CBG]

yeah, thats why i sorta went for the feedback system. If a user thinks a comment is undeserved, they can appeal it to a mod.

[JonnyB]

i still think that there should be no system, and moderators just pick out people at random that they think should suit the vip room.

No matter how we do this, there will always be people that will do what ever it takes just to get to that vip section, just so long as their is a guide line to do it. they will be nice and help out regardless of weather they want to just to get VIP.

withouth rules, only the true nice and helpfull people will be shown.

[CBG]

yeah your right. Maybe we have a system, where the mods can just choose who gets in.

People can make recommendations, but in the end the mod chooses.

They then send them a message, requesting a small donation and BAMN!!!

Time to appoint some mods first in line! yeah!
