I hope this doesn't upset the anywone but I am just curious/confused. I was looking for a particular product the other day before I even signed up and was planning on donating until I read the descriptions of each sponorship's added abilities -now I am brand new here so very good chance I just misunderstood the lingo (not the spelling police or anything,
, but for instance each level gets an increase in their "quota" on different things....well, "quota" is the MINIMUM YOU'RE REQUIRED OR AT LEAST AIMING TO MEET IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, therefore, those statements should have said, "Your MINIMUM *whatever* is "INCREASED" from this to that...but that is just poor English, nothing to get me scared about.
However, the other abilities they get, IF I UNDERSTAND THEM RIGHT and IT'S NOT JUST MORE POOR ENGLISH-I'd appreciate clarification for certain privileges mainly on the Diamond Sponsor level b/c IF I understand the privileges correctly IMO it could lead to an easy way to scam people. Sorry again for any doubts, just being cautious because of sites like DBGforum.org, ect. and want to stay as safe as possible!
You're site has a great rep but every site like this gets a few bad reviews and MOST banned/blacklisted/known scamming forums start with stellar reps then it's one bad review, 2, 10, 100, 500, until it get's to the point you have to have the brain of broccoli to order from one o their "vetted" vendors, however, I don't think that is the case here but this past just concerned me a little bit.
This is the premium user group for forum sponsor members.- "What does premium user group mean? Can you at least give a few examples of what
extras that afford you buy becoming a diamon sponsor?"- I mean, do Diamond Sponsors get to "test" products from want-to-be new members? I ask b/c take me for example, I can only eat certain types of candy, so, unless I can somehow get put into a group that gets to sample in the groups of candies I can enjoy that's not going to entice me me to pay $100 for a small amount of of random candy which in some ways can actually make me a guinea pig and possibly sent bunk sh*t.
Upon joining this group, your account will be granted more features and higher limits than any other member user group on the site. "Besides being able to edit your posts up to 10 days afterwards (which I DONT LIKE, b/c for instance/ you make a post to the effects of "Hit up my e-mail, new list waiting. Small orders only, packs sent in 10 days" (If that's allowed on this forum) then everyone flocks to their e-mail, makes a bunch of orders and the vendor disappears for a week or two then edits their contect to say "Meant
20 Days, Oops, My Mistake. Order's Will Go Out In 2-3 BDs.After Orders are Rc'd This time or 2-3 days from now if already received and paid for. -E-mail If you no longer want shipment and just want refund or want to change order." Sure, they can maybe include extras or refund $ or send samples and refund, but some people,BUT SOME PEOPLE ORDERED WHEN THEY DID b/c THEY NEEDED THEM WHEN EXPECTED AND PROMISED (i GET THERE'S NOT GUARANATEES IN THIS GAME BUT i JUST FEEL THIS OPENS ANOTHER LOOPHOLE TO SEMI-SCAM PEOPLE) and b/c of that some people would be unable to order more and ended up in WD, in trouble with people they threw in with, etc. IMO, If you can't think of something you need to change after a MAX of 24 hrs then it isn't impotrant enough to remember to change then you should and you can just make another post (change) in 9, 20, or 200 days.
One of the features is you can edit up to 10 days after posting your own content.
You can change your display name. Another one I'm not comfortable, you scam a few people then change your name and poof you're name is clear?
Can create there own invite only, password protected topic. What sort of topic could need to be password protected/invite only?
You can create a private blog, private blogs can only be seen by the members that the creator chooses, you will have moderator control over your own Blog. This is more of a curiosity, but, what is the differnernce betwen a blog and a topic or thread?
How long does it take to get your status changed after you make a donation b/c I had a friend that was a member for a LONG time and donated to become a Diamond Sponsor and he was never changed to a DS AND he got banned like weeks later. So, he lost the $100, he e-mailed the Admin and Mods as to why he was banned b/c he couldn't figure out why and never got a response so if I decide to donate I want to know how long it takes for status change so I know when to contact someone about it. Also, final ?, if I donate $10 this month then donate again no more than a month later do I still just keep Sapphire status or do the 2 $10 donations go together and make me the next level and so on or is the $10 just wasted?
Thanks for helping a newbie learn the ropes!
