You'd get even more comments and thanks if there was a Silver and Gold rank with bigger signatures
haha. Copper Rank
is largely worthless other than for the images being displayed, but I think for every non-ICO account that buys them it's more about the apparent 'prestige' that comes along with ranks or titles or with anything else that makes them stand out from the rest (no matter how minuscule that is).
I'm sure the prestige thing is an element to it but I'd guess the Member level signature is a bigger driver. Some signature campaigns will accept them on Member level pay and for others, they just want to use links to their own projects. It's easier to buy than getting 10 Merit for a lot of people. Higher level memberships surely would sell like hotcakes.
I wasn't aware it came with a Member-sized signature. If campaigns are paying extra for Copper Rank then that's your answer right there as to why it's been so popular. The price it costs is probably a steal compared to the bonus the campaigns are offering.
@thequin/hilariousetc I'd suggest hwro signature for silver and better quality/size avatar for gold.
I've always thought something along the lines of:
Silver Member: Avatar and Full Member signature
Gold Member: Hero sized signature
You could also have some sort of expensive premium rank with other perks (perhaps Lamborghini Member
). Users could get a custom title, and be able to put actual image banners in their signatures amongst other things (or you could just incorporate those into Gold Member's privileges). Price the three ranks at maybe $100, $250, and $500+ or something. Peg them to fiat or adjust the price automatically as to avoid what happened with the previous donator ranks.
