Notice About The New "Credits" Feature

[Dopious]

This text here is meant to have an option to pay credits to view it, for example.

It worked .. =) .. And I`m a credit shorter.

… and you can quote the content behind it after paying! I can already see the reports…

I posted this thread in The Saloon. It has instructions on how to use the BBCode.

Gimme Yo Credits!

This is a stick up! Don’t you want to know what’s behind this spoiler? -=Stripped Content=- If you want to use this feature, use the BBCode below. -=Stripped Content=- Replace ‘X’ with the amount of credits you want to charge. When someone pays creds to unlock the content, you get paid...

@Zwielicht Personally, I don't think making users pay (credit) to view some content is the best approach, and here's why:

There are already so many social media platforms where people can access content for free. What makes a forum stand out is the structured layout and the quality of information it offers. But if a new user signs up and finds that they first have to earn credits and then use those credits just to access helpful content, it creates friction. Chances are, they’ll leave and never come back.

Instead, I think it would be better to make the credit system optional. If a user finds value in someone’s post, they can choose to give them credits as appreciation.

Just my opinion. Would love to hear what others think about this.

It would only be content between the charge tags, although someone could technically lock a whole thread behind those tags.

I'd like to hear more thoughts on this. I figured if we kept this on the forum, we might have to only leave it enabled in certain sections or even create rules around using it.

We only have 124 members right now, so we have plenty of time to develop these rules, but it would be good to ideas on how we should approach this.
