New Changes; Introducing "paid" membership options...

[BeoR]

---

Here goes a quick list of the changes (Updated - October 14, 2013):

- Bump Check / Prevention system implemented under Buy/Sell
- Platinum Members are exempt from the Bump Check system for legitimate replies to queries. Any Bump within the 12-hour will be given an infraction.
- Application form submission is no longer a requirement. A separate "Verification" service will be offered at a later time with its own "Verified Badge".

New paid membership ranks (10% goes to our outreach fund):

* Paid memberships doesn't grant you immunity from the rules.
* Download application form below.
* If you only registered here to get banned, don't waste your money.

Why can't people with "Newbie" ranks post at the Buy / Sell boards and what should they do to be able to post there?
Due to the number of bogus / shady / illegal posts, the administration has decided to let people "earn" their posting rights at the said boards. This way (we hope), people will value their posting access at the said boards and think twice about posting crap. To be able to post at the Buy / Sell boards, one has to work his way up to "Junior Member" or avail of the paid options.

You may send your payments to: AtoX Business Solutions, Unit 03 4th Floor, JY Square Mall (same building with Watson's). Look for Adielle.

If you are paying thru Paypal, account activation is automated and almost instant. Any chargebacks or reversal of payment will result in an instant ban of your account.

PM me or Galadriel for inquiries.

ouchies on the platinum member

[BeoR]

Premium Membership is intended for people who want to help support our outreach activities and for our "fund drive" for the addition of another server as well as for the upkeep of the current one. Platinum Membership is intended for people who do a lot of business here. Either way you are helping others and helping iSTORYA. Payment method can be Cash, Cheque, or Bank Deposit.

... and before "others" jump in, iSTORYA.NET will remain free for everyone to post and access. These paid membership packages are optional. If you only registered to get banned, don't waste your money.
