[SUGGESTION] Donation Perks

[Orange]

We should have a set up where people can donate XXX amount of $$ or Pounds to SG-Gaming! This will help keep the servers running and new ones in the future, and it can bring the community closer. Donating will promote people to stay with SG-Gaming because they put money into it and they're more likely to continue with us.
We could create a new section of the forums for Donors. Maybe called the "VIP Forum"

I was thinking after that, the people who donated could receive in-game perks. Some ideas of those perks could be:

1. Custom "Donator" Title on the forums.
2. Access to special classes on JailBreak such as: 
    Blue:
    Pyro  Spy  Demoman  Engineer 
   Red:
    Pyro Engineer 
3. Access to classes even though there are too many of that class at that moment. (Ex: 3 Scouts on red. That class is full. But you can still play it and be that 4th Scout.)
4. Access to vote commands on all servers. You can vote mute people, vote kick, etc.. (Abuse of these commands of course would result in powers taken away etc..)
5. Access to the "VIP Forum"
6. [Donator] next to name in-game instead of [Member]


People who will donate will Not have an advantage over people who haven't. The Donor perks I thought of are not "game-breaking" in anyway, and it does not make SG-Gaming "Pay-to-Win".

Of course the donor perks will have to be thought up by Mods, Admins and so forth. I'm not going to touch or suggest prices because that is not my place. But I think it's a good idea.

Well, I think it's a good idea but the entire, access to certain classes on Jailbreak could be abused unless we could put a restriction to certain things, such as not being able to build as an engineer or disguising/cloaking as a spy.
RANDOM SUGGESTION OF RANDOMNESS, one thing I think would be cool would be having a Slender Fortress server or Zombie Fortress server. ^-^

Special Classes?
Then this server would turn out to be one of those Saigns servers where some people are more OP than others making it not fun

 

[Orange]

Not true at all. All the classes have their advantages and disadvantages.

There has occasionally been talks behind the scenes about donator stuffs, but it kinda dies out.

1. Sure, that would probably happen in game too.
2. I'm pretty sure access to these classes give an inherent advantage, though I've never played JB. SG-Gaming isn't about "pay to win", so if I understand the implications, hell no. Though you do say none of your perks are "pay to win", so I'm not sure. Obviously, JB isn't my thing and that's why I don't deal much with the JB matters around here.
3. This has been considered, but mostly discussed in the context of Minecraftland.
4. Unlikely; sure to be abused frequently. When it can ruin someone else's experience, it shouldn't be offered, in my opinion.
5. Sure, though it would probably be near dead. The forums as a whole are already unlively.
6. Yeah, of course.

I think the voting thing can be abused. What if the doner vote mutes the warden because he's a little kid? And there will be trolls that will immediately say yes.

This is already a work in progress.

It was just some brainstorming. Thinking on it now, that probably wouldn't work.
