Supporting Member Advantages

[JustinCredible]

I often see the typical "These ads suck,why not become a supporting member?" phrase above the donate button,below ads. I don't think that ads are enough to get people to donate to the site. Another forum I am on (pbnation) a paintball forum,one of the biggest forums I have seen on the internet, has benefits for supporting members. Such benefits include a special forum for only supporting members,one-time un-ban feature,also a special graphic under their avatar (saying-Supporting member)---that feature pretty much only affects people who Buy/Sell or trade on their B/S/T forums,but I think giving some privilages to people who syupport the forums would be a good idea.

I was thinking insted of the graphic,an extra warning level...insted of 3 strikes,4 strikes...

I don't know...maybe you guys could think of some.
