Regular donors to Privacy Guides via a membership can now display their support in our community with a Member flair and/or title on their forum profile.
Become a monthly/yearly member here
You will need a MAGIC Grants donation account to donate on a recurring basis to Privacy Guides, and these credentials are separate from your forum account.
Under Title, you should have the option to select “Member” - This will display the word “Member” next to your name on your posts and on your user card.
My next suggestion would be to have tiered donation levels. The FSF offers various perks depending on the size of the donation. But I’d say this is a good first iteration of perks for memberships.
Another suggestion: if you donate X amount, offer to ship free merch pro bono. Also stickers. You still net a profit with the donation, and we get to spread brand awareness and it feels “free”.
I recommended in another thread to consider handing out some badges for writing articles and other behavior to support the knowledge share (awarded for articles written that isn’t compensated by PG).
To avoid badge dilution, consider having two categories of badges; some that have a limited amount for the PG team to award on a periodic basis (eg a quarterly most articles written badge), and milestone badges that occur similarly to the current badges where everyone gets a badge for progressive involvement in the community.
Maybe consider silly gag gifts for yearly prizes… A trophy in the shape of those big brother cameras,
Also, if you link your MAGIC account to the forum but don’t set your title or flair, you’ll be included in a counter on this page but your profile won’t be visible
