Sponsor a suggestion!


Concise description:
  • Implementing new suggestions cost money (web developer, etc.)
  • If anyone uses Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/), it's basically where people chip in small amounts to get big things going

Specifics/Details:
  • So basically, we have people submitting suggestions. If a mod likes it, they can approve it, and the owners + web developer can list what they think it will cost to implement this
  • Have like a few levels for people to sponsor with, and offer a medal (on a profile) as a reward. People love getting recognized, so they will be inclined to donate to something they have always wanted.
  • Start at $5 (for a bronze sponsor), $20 (for a silver sponsor), $100 (for a gold sponsor), or a title sponsor (needs a good looking medal) if they pay for the entire development.
  • All of these medals are limited edition - you can't sponsor the development of something after it's been developed. That makes it all the more valuable!

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • Allows CC to create lots of new tools, maps, game settings, etc. or fix known bugs
  • Allows those who want to donate a bit more ($25 is pretty cheap for a year) to get recognition for it

thoughts? =]
apologies if this has already been suggested. or if this violates some kind of rules..

after reading the latest Dispatch issue, I have a feeling that BBS would love this idea. Money Talks!

I really can't see how this is a bad suggestion.

I totally can't afford to sponsor anything, but around time my membership runs out, I might toss a few bucks towards adjacent attacks (and further variations).

I like this suggestion - while it shouldn't be the sole reason a particular suggestion gets implemented someone with a ton of community support would get implementation priority.
And the recognition etc is a great little add on. For some people ;)
