Hey everyone, a Patreon campaign for SG is in development, which will also allow users to link their Patreon account to our site to redeem rewards. A lot of the code is already up and running for early testing, and ideally it'll be ready to go live in June or July. The difficult part right now is coming up with rewards, which is why I wanted to reach out for suggestions.

We obviously do not want to turn our community into a pay-to-win site, so I would like to exclude any rewards that would give users an unfair advantage, such as a higher chance of winning, or more points. On the list of user rewards so far we have...

  • Advertising Disabled: As expected, this will remove all of the advertisements across our site for a user, along with the related ad network code for faster load times, and increased privacy.
  • Donator Status: We'll display a little icon beside a user's name when they comment, similar to the cake day icon, to show they are a donator. Do you think users should also be able to disable this icon if they wish to donate anonymously?
  • Profile Colors: This allows a user to customize the different colors on their profile. For example, right now I have different background, text, and avatar border colors selected for mine.

Other suggestions that have come up...

  • Additional Statistics: Is there any extra stats or data you would like to have available for your account?
  • Custom Win Gifs: This would allow a user to choose a custom image for their winners to see, instead of Space Cat, when they win a game.

Thanks for ideas!

Would be great to have the possibility to add extra restrictions like only accepting entries from users who have all their wins activated. I personally would like to see the option to add a minimum played time the last two weeks. I know that could be received negatively by some people, but that in my opinion would improve the chances of your gift to be played. And I know there hare specific groups for that, I'm just giving an idea for a feature that could be a bad idea, but at least I want to suggest it.
