    So, I want to know your opinion on the introduction of a currency system.

    Members will be given credits on different events (like receiving a like, posting a new thread, setting an avatar, etc.)
    Members will spend these credits to view links of tutorials they are interested in.
    There will also be the possibility to purchase these credits.

    I was thinking about this system because right now there isn't a set number of likes required to be promoted (after the 50 likes) and because of this I cannot guarantee a fairness in the decision of promoting a member or not.

    Please also comment on your vote.

    This poll will run for a week.

    You will find the the majority of the ones who vote no are the ones who don't contribute but just download.

    I get it - I just see it as a bit of a deterrent (even to joining). It also makes things increasingly difficult for newcomers down the line who only have (even by their own means) what has already been shared.

    So -
    -Is there a way to have all (non admin) GM shares STG by default? -> Gold shares with gold?
    -Do credits go to 'the bank' or to the OP?

    I think there is a certain number of likes that indicate continued contribution to the community that won't appear unobtainable - but also would want for people to be able to buy their way in. As there is now - but maybe set the bar a little higher.

    I agree with colorspace, it would make it more of a deterrent to joining or participating.
    This is a great space to share right now. If you make it about money, you are defeating the purpose of what a sharing community should be. A tiered system to promote GM would create a more sharing atmosphere. It would also give people an idea of what is needed to be promoted to Gm.

    I can set the HIDE tag to be the default of STG but that would be for everyone -> everyone shares with gold.
    Credits go to the OP of course.

    This is about increasing the quality of shares and adding more interaction on the forums.
    In a credit system there will not be access to everything posted for gold members, but the advantage is that credits do not expire and someone can get exactly what they want when they want (if they have the required credits).

    Yes Having Currency system is a great idea ,which mutually benefit each other.
    In this way to earn credits each one will be posting what all content they have and other will use their credits to download them.
    In this way one directly looks for what exactly he needs and download them.
    otherwise people will simply download freely and share where ever they want , if this happens there will be no value for the content.
    WE buy or download and spend time uploading and posting in the site.
    One has to be thankful by mutually benifiting each other.

    Ps: it would be great if we are able to bring more people to our community and increase the daily traffic.

    PSS: Its been 5 days since the POLL has created just 25 members got voted and others are busy downloading the stuff xd

    Hi Boss, i wanted to ask you, In case you decide to include the system, do you know when it will be operational? In addition to this, it would be feasible to take into account the likes, prior participation and reputation of the users to give them some initial credits to use in the initial phase of the system change?

    I am super grateful that you started this website, as I believe we were all struggling to get stuff approved on CGPersia. Finally there is a website where people can easily share/download tutorials without all the BS. WHY RUIN IT? Making it fare sounds great, but I don't think it's worth if for the price of making it complicated. Also, I know that many people don't mind just sharing content. I like the idea of paying membership fee, if you really want some of the prime content. I've mentioned it before in comments, it would be great to have 1 month option, instead of subscription. I was a paid member in the beginning, but then I forgot about it and wasn't worth it. I would have paid for a few tutorials, if it wasn't for the subscription plan. I am also happy to help you cover your expenses and time invested in the site.

    To sum it up: No BS Please, and month to month plan !!

    you know its illegal what we are doing here ( copyright infringement ) ... but if we start to get paid ( with credits witch we have to earn ore pay for ) its a real crime ... you should think again ... is it worth to loos all your life settings and go to jail ? ... you are the creator of this page ... you should get some legal advice ... I understand that you want to make money from this , sell some apps.

    "Members will spend these credits to view links of tutorials they are interested in." ... I think he means all tuts, not only the gold ... but if I am wrong, I pull back my statement ...

    The system is pretty easy , you can share your personal good stuff , take like , spent this like in others stuff that you desire. I never spent 1 euros since I was here in this wonderful place , but i’m Not feeling bad if I’ve to donate 10 Euro for work that admin mod and special staff make every day here

    but, the most good stuff is already shared ... its not about the donation, its about safety ... if you donate you can be tracked, and everybody here knows its not legal what we are doing ... photographers know how copyright works ... yes, we could donate with bitcoins, but bitcoins are way to expensive and the transaction fee is way to high and it will grow ... its not easy to solve this problem ... we will see how this work out ... but im pretty sure nobody want to be tracked by the FBI and nobody will use his credit card or his PayPal to donate ... paysafecards could solve this problem ... paysavecards are save, you can't track them ... maybe thats the solution ... I don't know ... we will see.

    There is still a lot more to be shared.
    Plus there are new tutorials released often.
    And I think you are way overreacting with the FBI. This is not Hollywood/Music copyright infringement.

    Do we get credits if we contribute to group buys? It’ll be great if those contributing to some group buys would be awarded credits.
