    Default PayPal idea.

    I have an idea. I noticed that Cid has implemented a PayPal service for members to use to pay for extra PM space. Anyway, I have an idea. Perhaps the staff can think about this. Let's say a member been banned for a mistake, like posting something borderline to porn. They've been an upstanding member, or have been a member who haven't been much a trouble, except they posted an inappropriate image by mistake. Now, here's my idea. Let's wait to six month later, if the member is still around lurking, they can reinstate themselves and use PayPal to get unbanned. I'm thinking, after six months, it will start at $20, and after every three months, the price drops down by $5 until it runs out when they can be reinstated without paying, if the person is still around.

    So how about it? An upstanding member gets banned for a bannable mistake, and will have to wait six months before being able to pay through paypal to get unbanned. Every three months, it drops down by $5. Unless this is a no-go with the price dropping after every three months when someone becomes "eligible" to pay to be unbanned, how does $10 sound for an unban, only after six months?

    So, three options, really.

    A) Start off $20 dollars after six months, decrease by $5 every three months.
    B) $10 dollars to get unbanned after half a year.
    C) No change.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I don't like the idea of people being able to use money to be above the rules.

    But the money will be used to help pay for the server, and it's not likely that a lot of banned members will wait half a year just to pay $10-20 dollars just to get unbanned from a message board.

    If Cid needs money, there are other (and better) ways to go about obtaining it.

    I don't think this is necessary.

    It's not about money. It's about relationships.

    Better idea:

    Let's make it so that if we want someone banned, we can pay $20 to have them banned.

    Oh alright.

    How about $20 to become a Recognized Member? I've always felt my hard work for Eyes on Final Fantasy has gone unrecognised, and now I have a chance to show the world I'm special.

    Or better yet, I've always thought that if I were admin, EoFF would be awesome. Even more so than it is, of course! I'll give you $30 in exchange for that platinum title.

    This shows how ludicrous the whole thing is. Where do you draw the line? With extra PM space, I hope...

    Dude. That is like the worst idea ever.

    Also, someone make Flying Mullet a recognized member.

    I just hope that everyone who pays for 2 years of extra PM space gets banned the very next day.
