Platinum "options"

I'm going to level with you guys here. I enjoy the benefits of a Platinum membership -- it's very cheap and comes with a variety of neat perks that make it worth while. I think it's worth having and trust me -- if anyone reading this purchases it they won't regret it. That being said, there's a couple of things I wish were "optional."

- I hate the big green names. I really do. I understand that the blue names are reserved for the mods (and look totally bad ass), but I really wish there were an option in the User CP to just keep my name in the normal, white lettering. Almost like a ninja-plat -- or an undercover plat.

- I like having my normal sherdog belt/rank, but when I upgrade to the platinum service I lose that. I would really like to be able to keep this as an option, as well, since the custom belt requirements are steeper than they use to be. Look, I've spent countless hours of my [presumably] precious life on this website, and I want a belt/rank that denotes as much.

- Basically, I want to have my cake and eat it, too. I want all the benefits of platinum membership without any of the "detriments" I have outlined here.

Any thoughts? Do I need to donate my offspring in order to get these things to occur? Am I a tree falling in the forrest with no one around?

You could save a belt pic and request it used as your custom belt.
The color of that belt depends on your own postcount.

I agree with the belt stuff. I was still a silver belt when I went plat, and now I'm a Bawkzee belt. I never got a chance to see/wear my gold belt.



I never understood why there wasn't an option to have your normal belt rank while plat.

You have to have at least 5k posts + 5 years on the forums in order to be eligible for a custom belt.

Doesn't that change when becoming a plat ?

Nope.

We only get custom text or the soap bar.

Well, in three years you could execute my suggested plan.

I'm pretty much ok without having a belt. However the gold belt really interests me and is the only belt that I really want/like. I agree with you on the green names

Are you planning on re-upping your plat membership?

A bold platinum colored name would be cool

Hey, I have a quick question regarding my plat membership. Do I still have to get 250 posts for an AV?

Edit: Never mind I found the answer to my question!
