    Thanks @george
    The resultant decision is kind of you, appropriate, and reflects the product of sifted civil discourse.

    Not to be a PIA - but is it possible to credit me 13 -TP, because I too pulled the trigger on buying 2-months Gold yesterday prematurely assuming the change was final in nature. The latest process now adds value to TP because they DO continue to accrue; thanks again.

    Looking forward to what future options may present utilizing the accrued TPs. :)

    I hate when I'm a victim of my own emotions! I've tried to adopt the 3-day Gun Rule: before acting on anything implemented by upper-level admins (at my work, not specific to here) - wait three days to carry out the task, because it will undoubtedly be modified in some manner (often changed significantly or added to) . . . ;)

    Specific to maintaining Links for ones' posts: this can get a little muddy here. At present - few people have the time to participate and actively UL content; track material for new DL, and participate in GBs as they present. Although it should ideally be a part of good management of our own files and considered a best-practice - I've attempted to be prompt with filling requests that have been identified as Dead or no longer available. This is ultimately unavoidable with the present system because most use WorkUpload or Mega; and the process is something that new members have to sort-of learn as they go along. (And to be honest, I'm not at all certain if I'm utilizing these servers at the most optimized for this forum). There are other things too (involving the how-to elements) that should be established as standards besides the posted rules - but trying to stay on point.

    My understanding is that new Mods have been added to staff over the last year to assist in managing / monitoring for dropped links. This is basically a Hamster-wheel job and tough as hell (I imagine; and I mean NOT to denigrate the position; to the contrary - MUCH RESPECT). To do it all over: I would have set up a folder for ULs specific for this site and probably a Excel doc with date / title / link to facilitate self-monitoring - - - but as time goes on - the volume of material grows and self management becomes a task in itself.

    Are there any bots that can be implemented to monitor the integrity of links at set time periods and send out notifications appropriately?

    Perhaps a "Identified Best Practices" instruction sheet or something of the kind should be made by those that have experience and be presented for those that really wish to be participants here. I think that would ideally streamline much and take the steepness out of the learning curve.

    Nevertheless - Thanks for all ya do and same to the Mods! :)

    We still accrue TP at the rate posted here (note the new numbers past 10K):
    https://p-v.club/help/trophies
    Once a person hits 10,000 likes - s/he automatically gets unlimited Gold status - but continues to acquire TP at the posted rate.
    _______________

    TP can be earned additionally via purchasing titles and posting
    and / or
    Participating in Group Buys as per established usual rates

    _______________

    What can one do with these TP once past the 10K mark?
    That remains to be seen (besides presently being limited to gifting)

    The indication is that you are a Gold Member (next to your profile).
    If there are other issues please write me a message.

    So what changes?
    - more Trophies after 10k likes
    - auto upgrade to Gold membership at 10k likes

    Ty @george...so, if I understand it well:

    1) There is no more lifetime membership

    2) At 10k likes there will be an Auto Gold Membership that will subtract every month 10TP (automatically)...
    ....in this case, according to some promo you've created (7Tp or 13Tp) may I suggest (just for 10k AutoGoldMembers) to subtract only 5Tp per months?

    Is it Right?

    Nope.

    You got it all wrong.
    I have edited the 1st post in here to better explain the process.

    :confused:
    I will try again:
    1) At 10k likes we (still) have an Automatic Lifetime Membership (is the "VIP" indicate this status?)
    2) Which will be the use of TPs after being a VIP ?

    Ty...seeing Reply in #1 (updated http://p-v.club/threads/lifetime-gold-membership-changes.34490/)

    1) There does not exist a Lifetime indication (maybe I should add one?). VIP is reached at 25600 likes and it allows for custom title. So it has nothing to do with Gold.
    2) At the moment there is the option to Gift them. But more options will be added soon (not revealed yet).
