Donator in Profile?
 

How about adding a "Donated" line in members Profile, and

maybe even keeping the amount updated.

Then we could see who is actually supporting TFP.

Or is it not "Politically Correct"?

Once a person donates to the TFP they get a little Donor tag under their name.

Or under their avatar on the left hand side of all the posts, if they have an avatar.

I am aware of that feature; having donated before, but what
about, again, having it in your profile?

Just tell me its a bad idea. I personally think that many people
would be checking out the profiles, more than usual, just to see
how much so-and-so donated. Or how little. I just thought it
might generate more money, you never know.

Then again, maybe the concept is to "gossipy".

I think that showing the amount that someone has donated is a bad idea, but I like the fact that you asked. The reason that I think it is a bad idea is this:

Two registered users of TFP. One person has a spectacular job and can afford $100 within a one month period, and the other has a 'normal' job and can only spare $25 in a month. When someone goes and sees PRSN_A's total, then sees PRSN_B's total, they will think that A is doing more to support than B. We don't know your situation or anything about you, just the fact that you only sent us $25. Maybe you skipped a few meals to afford that $25.

My point is, (*since I know that I'm rambling on here*), what might look like a lot of money might be nothing to someone else, and what looks like a small amount to others could be tremendous that person.

(* Does anyone understand what I am trying to say here? *) :)

It's the My Fair Lady approach (if anyone has seen the movie). It has to do with a percentage of worth. 25 dollars is a small percent to someone who makes 100K per year, but it is a much larger percent to someone who only makes 7K a year.

Woo Hoo!! I'm not an idiot. :)

Yeah, I understand. And I totally agree. Guess that's why you
get the big bucks.:lol:

I think a little Donated tag would do fine. The amount donated isn't necessary. Apparently, there's already some form of Donor tag, but I haven't seen it yet. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place!

So is it now 250 posts to get an avater??? I like participating by Often I find myself just echoing someone else, or wanting to make a rude comment to some idiot's lamebrain post. In both cases I restrain and don't post... Anyway I need to get off my butt and donote..

Hows this?? 100 posts and a reasonable donation to get an avater??? Hal...are you there???

nope. participation is key here, though feel free to donate if you really enjoy the site. We dont take kindly to bribes. :)
