Small addition to Sponsored Poster status in BST

[Ryan]

In case you haven't noticed yet, threads created by Sponsored Posters in the BST are now subtlety highlighted in yellow.

For more information on becoming a sponsored poster, you can check out this post:

First I should say http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/petawawa/smilies/hello.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/petawawa/smilies/hello.gifExcellent Improvementhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/petawawa/smilies/hello.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/petawawa/smilies/hello.gif to promoting a little more interest in this 'status'.

Personally, mixed feelings about the Yellow. A nice warm/faint Red tint would've been nicer? but I'll take whatever I can get :).

Next on the Sponsored Poster improvements List:

To increase the number of active threads by a tad. Paying $43/month, and only being able to advertise as much as regular Joe leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. (Najibs..please no sexual commentary).

How about instead of 2 active, we make it 3? 4 would be awesome, but 3 at least would be nice. I am DEFINATELY probably one of the LOWEST volume of sales people among the Sponsored Status members, and I honestly can't squeeze this many items into but 2 threads :(.

Just make a rule to ensure max 2 threads are bumped on the same page. That is to say, if you have 3 or 4 threads, you'd have to wait till the first get dropped out of the first 40 threads (so that if someone has 40 threads/pg display set up-they won't see but 2 MAX threads of any one poster).

My humble suggestion :o



Still gotta do something about those lucrative people who're OBVIOUSLY selling a Truck Load of *cough...well pretty much You name it, and SOMEone is selling in bulk, but not even remotely concerned with 'giving back' to RFD Like the few of us who have taken this step :).

bubble.tea - My first thought about this is, what about when we end up with more sponsored posters? They'd be taking over the "front page", with the average joe FS/FT/WTB thread squeezing in between?
