Maybe consider donation button for BHW?
In profile we can add link to PayPal or BTC adress, this will display small donation buttons below our avatars.

Of course, asking for "donation" in post would be not allowed but many people would earn some nice beer for supporting the community.

Jr.exec would gather nice cash and many people who shared valuable knowledge for free.

Interesting idea, perhaps a ranking system to go alongside this too...

(not the likes ranking system)

I think any Jr.VIP member level should have it.
This would also help many guys to keep Jr.VIP just by contribution
 
People would just make countless of useless threads.

There used to be a rep system but it was ditched.

My idea is not about reputation system but overall, activate button for every Jr.VIP and higher.

Idea is simple, user likes your posts and thread, can donate.

Jr.VIPs would not do that, this is the same story I hear when donation idea comes. Anyone tested it? Nope...

Brave browser users can donate via https://basicattentiontoken.org in near future if the owner of BHW register it.

Same for users, make a blog and recieve donation.

Not necessary, blokchain have button and in API :)
 
Interesting idea actually. I don't oppose it but it will be weird for sure lol. Flattr could be an option for example. Must only be enabled for paid members ofcourse. This should encourage many users to share good stuffs for sure :D

Yes, exactly. Minimum Jr.VIP

This would allow people to earn for next Jr.VIP period, not all vips are selling stuff.
Win - win - users benefits and forum pocket benefits
 
Donation sound like a good idea. I like it. However when doing it with real $ it can attract many spammers that will use spun content to game the system = more work for mods (My own theory, not a fact) however, creating a reward points system can help us build a better community and save lot of paper work wgen doing it with real currency

I mean, look at steemit: ppl get rewarded with steem if the community apprecite their posts.

Now lets assume BHW create his own coin, and when someone want to donate he simply reward the thread writer with BHW coin.

Now lets assume that this coin can be used for:
Buying signature space
Renew marketplace thread
Etc

It can takes BHW to the next level, isn't it?

Coins are bad idea, I see it when selling on BHW using only coins. Most of users begging for PayPal ;)

No.
  • Members would spam more content to get their donation button to appear more often.
  • Members would post in as many threads as they can to increase visibility (we have seen this in the past, they know who they are).
  • Members would beg for money, or use a donation button as a way to circumvent the BST system (soliciting services via PM, just send via donation).
@vinku you received some very detailed explanations when you posted almost this exact same thing last year: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/donation-system-make-the-bhw-rich-content-again.998639/

The only difference is that the quality of the average forum post has decreased even since then.

People shouldn't contribute to BHW because they think they have something monetary to gain from doing so. That destroys the reason this forum exists in the first place.

Went through that thread and yepp, these are pretty valid reasons for not enabling the donation.
 
I think there should be a donate button on each Shit List thread. When people lose money on those threads, I always want to send them something to make up for their losses. You don't have to donate, but it may help recover some losses.

I don't think a donate button should be in the main forum though. This is a money making site. The purpose is to earn money from methods, not from donations.

It's your opinion, you have right to have own. The final decision is made always by owner.


We can close this thread now and leave the decision to owner.

No one is going to donate for useless content right? And spammers are eventually blocked anyways.
