Lower flood time for upgraded members.

Quote:Someone would spend over $50 on upgrades just so they could start spamming and abusing their privileges?

Well, on that point. Wasn't there a rank on another forum, I think it was RaidForums, called GOD. Where the children who would purchase it would abuse the privileges that came with it? The same applied to people who would purchase Moderatorship powers. People with money, or people who don't care about anything in general, will do whatever they want for a few laughs. If upgrading is one more step to help it, they'll do it.

Quote:Lmfao you guys are a bunch of people who don't actually think. With few exceptions, but very few.

While I'm still new here to Sinister.ly, I don't think you should call the majority of the forums people who don't actually think. I'm also assuming that the few exceptions, are people you're fond of, which just shows a little bit of bias. While I know that is an opinion, it's still one that you could have worded better or just not included at all.

Quote:I fucking HATE that member who made the initial suggestion, but it made a good suggestion because upgraded members don't have that many distinguishable perks. As much as I hate that member, I hated the stupidity that ran rampant in that thread in the opposition of the suggestion. And to think some of that logic came from a certain individual of perceived status.

I don't know what you really have against @Queen, but to each their own. I still don't particularly see the reason to lower an already low Flood Time for members who are already receiving perks for upgrading. Just as Bronze, you have the ability to post in more sections, not have to view the ads (didn't pay much attention to them either way though, if they were even there), as well as VIP status in the Discord. Upgrading continues to give more perks up until Platinum. While I don't think that this should necessarily be what's given, I do think that Platinum and Diamond should get a few more perks if perks are still able to be given.

Okay, now for my actual opinion on the topic. I think that if not removed, it should at least be lowered to a time around 1/3 or 1/2 of 10 seconds. It shouldn't really take you that short of a time to post. As @Jiggly said, it might be a nice idea to at least trial.

I think why he was so mad was that he saw me as someone who initially wasn't going to do something like that, but it was a huge contradiction to his preconception of me and the spam pissed him off. Don't know how he sees the rest of the forum. Seems like he got cancer from some members already though.)

I thought I sensed satire when you did that, I neg'd you because of that to see if you'd let me in on it so that I wouldn't be so pissed off. I got mad because there was a user in the past who did the same shit and no one called him out on his bullshit, and it seemed everyone was too much of a pussy to actually speak their mind regarding the issue; so I had to be the first to do it next time someone did it. You happened to be the next "someone".

Just some constructive criticism which I hope you take under advisement.

With your statement above, you shouldn't generalize and target each and every member on this forum. We all have different values, morals, expectations and most Importantly, different views and opinions. It's our differences that keeps this forum alive, whereby we can correct each other and have a better understanding to not make the same mistake twice.

Just because (for example) I don't speak out, It's by no means an Indication that my silence doesn't speak a thousand words. That Is, I may "see It exists", but choose not to be heard.

True.

Restrictions that are in place, are generally there for a good reason. I think it should take 10 seconds for you to load the page and make a post. Remember that this forum wasn't originally for general discussion.

Birds of a feather flock together. Members that agree with each other, tend to get along easier. Especially so, if their opposition is nearly as inflammatory as you. Using the phrase "mindless sheep" is just edgy.

I'm offended. I'm not inflammatory.
