Let's say that you buy a year-long membership (which I did), and the lifelong membership comes out within the next year. Will I be able to upgrade at a lower price than say a new TL+ buyer or will everyone be on the same footing?

Perhaps I missed it already, but how do you get more than one plus in a row, as shown by the trailer?

A post can be gifted multiple times (or for multiple months).

The smaller pluses are for when you get gifted TL+

The big circle orange + is to show you are a TL+ member.

I think it's zje amount of people who gave you Plus for that particular post. Like it works with Reddit gold where it says n*Gold on a post.

Also in the news:
Players are sending "get well twitters" to a fan of esports who seemingly went insane while trying to actually view content on the Internet. Some reporters were horrified as they found 20 or more receipts, not counting forum access. Some speculate he was desperately sorting his receipts to complain about a black screen while his big idol was playing.

Our reporters arrived at the scene just as he wrestled himself away from two policemen and sprinted towards a car from the local television station. The poor reporter inside looked on in horror as he wrote "Remember Lim Yo Hw.." in his own blood on the windshield. The raging fan was then hindered sligthly as the reporter inside the vehicle came to his senses and started spraying him with wiper fluid.

Not able to complete his ramblings, he was pacified and rushed away to what we believe is an institution for patients with little or no hope of recovery.

Why is it visible to others that you pay for tl+, that might be the first step towards a two class society in here and I dont see why this will do any good.


You could easily just block the gold images with adblock

and you think everybody will do this? I highly doubt that. I would even go that far and imagine that if in doubt, mods wont ban a tl+ customer, whereas a regular tl user will get the ban. This will happen, because nobody wants to lose a paying customer.

I use addblock, even on TL. I tried unblocking it here, but switching through streams was such a pain in the ass, that I had to activate addblock again. Still, I actively want to support TL, so I ordered some clothes. That kind of support is only positive, whereas I see many problematic points within tl+ ...

Have you read any of nazgul's posts responding to the exact request that TL+ purchasers have some kind of mod immunity? He's pretty clearly against it.

I read it and I even believe him right now. Still, I have experienced things like this in the past and views on certain points can (often "will") change.

TL is my online to-go-place and I hope this site will be around for a very long time. Because of that I write my concerns down. What will happen with the extra dollars TL will take in? Hire some vivid TL users and pay them fulltime? perfect! for now. What if TL generates less money in the future and they need to ban some tl+ customers with the risk to lose them, which might lead to the decision to fire a befriended coworker. They wont fire the friend, so they wont ban the tl+ customers. I´m not talking about the 100% obvious bans, but the subtleties.

And I dont only see the problem with the bans. What if tl+ customers that used to post the regular forums get pissed off by some users and only use the private forum from that point on. I know some other forums where coremembers used to do that and the websites lost all the other members over the time of months and years, which lead to their insignificance.

The moderation will remain the same because it's part of the USP (Unique Selling Point) of TL. So one person paying TL+ vs all the negativity that would come from allowing someone to go unmoderated when they should be does not add up. So I think you can rest assured about the TL Moderation will remain as it is.


Except that it would probably go unnoticed unless someone is being really blatant about it. While nothing drastic is going to change, it will be interesting to see just how big of a ban-shield it is, as it seems highly improbable that it will have zero effect on moderators' judgement.

I like the gold bar feature for being gifted TL+. I think it would make it more likely for people to make higher quality submissions. And if someone is worthy of being highlighted with TL+, it makes it easy for everyone to see why it deserved that.

Considering how ultra subjective every moderated action can be, I'm pretty sure this won't be an issue. See the TL commandments. I dare anyone with TL+ to spoil game of thrones and see what happen

I agree, it´s perfect for people like this http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=418105 to give them a bit more than "thanks" (ok, he already has a star ^^)
And it´s not cheap enough to highlight really stupid puns imo. That would be one of my concerns if it was $1 or so.

for me this seems like a big step backwards but who can blame tl many other internet sites are doing it nowadays.. capitalism 4tw... thats why i am always laughing about ppl saying our society progresses forward... its not like u have to pay 4 sth that was free before but NOW u have to pay for new features which is in fact the same . TL started as a community page and got this many members due to many ppl doing stuff for free and when they get big they somehow feel the need to make even more money.... i will never get the logic behind this if its not only greed

There should be a way to pay with a credit card that lets you pick a country or something along those lines. R1CH made a post about it a little way back

Would be nice if you guys found a way to give something back to the community, too, especially with this new source of income. You know, like in the old times.
