🆕Update Adjustment To User Upgrades: Pricing Lowered & Levels Consolidated

[Zwielicht]

I've made some adjustments to the upgrade pricing on the forum.

Our anti-spam measures and the use of the star/trophy feature has actually worked at deterring anyone who tried coming on here to spam sell on the platform.

With the addition of allowing members to submit listings for pre-approval regardless of status, I've made the decision to lower the pricing of all of our membership levels.

Here's the previous pricing for each fiat-purchasable user upgrade:

• Sapphire: $100
• Sapphire (Platinum Discount): $85
• Sapphire (Founder's Discount): $50
• Patron: $100
• Patron (Discounted): $50

Here's the new pricing structure on the site:

• Sapphire: $75
• Sapphire (Discounted): $50
• Patron: $75
• Patron (Discounted): $50

Just to summarise the changes: the main user upgrades have been reduced from $100 to $75, the two Sapphire discounts have also been combined into one, and Platinum members now get Sapphire at $50 instead of $85.

I'm planning on re-working the upgrades page to look more modern at some point, so having fewer upgrades on the page will make this easier to accomplish.

Finally, I want to move away from the idea of just using higher pricing in order to deter those with ill intentions from upgrading, and hopefully this also encourages more upgrades in general.
