What are exclusive members?

[SlashRoot.Com]

I think a lot of this speculative criticism is unwarranted.

I too have a lot of questions about this. However, I think most of my concerns stem from the lack of information on what is actually going on.

Timely announcement would have prevented a lot of this, but that's water under the bridge.

I am going to wait and see how things look like when (or whenever) they do arrive, and then judge it. In the mean time, lets do some domains, shall we?

So you've taken the benefits of fraud screening, and made your own meaning out of it. You are the one who is implying, not the forum. Anyone else can see that fraud screening and name ownership history are benefits, especially in large transactions.

I'll reserve my final decision about this "elite class" until later, but be sure you can see the forest for the trees. You ARE implying that all those who are not exclusive members are LESS trustworthy.

Paypal uses verified and non-verified for a part of their fraud prevention, and something along those lines would have been fine here. But once you create a NEW class for this purpose, you have labeled the others...

I know you feel allegiance to side with those running the forum, so I understand. I just don't think you want to be telling me that I cannot see the implications - you will have a tussle on your hands at that point.


Now I see that DCG posted that information will be coming today, so let's see where we are at that point.

Of course you should remember that it's not a requirement, it's an additional layer for those who feel that they can benefit from its specific additional features and make it pay.
It's no big deal if you don't want it - all of the same bonus features of Platinum Membership remain as a top level package but with a big bonus!

 

[GT Web]

as Platinum, the idea was you had access to the entire forum.....

Since there are only 5 days left this month after this new Exclusive membership launches tomorrow, your comment is supposed to be very clever, EXCEPT THAT you might actually lose your bet ... :-D :evil:

Well, Platinum members will have an opportunity to see if all the frills are worth the extra bucks, or not.

I never will say never, but at first glance, I can't see the value for myself. Time will tell.

How do DNF bucks work towards price?

Anyone?
