Hi everyone!
We are currently making big improvements for VIP users, and we need to know what do you like the most in the current existing benefits.
The only thing I really like is being able to see who like what comment/post. The other benefits are okay I suppose, but I’m mostly indifferent about them. I like some of the suggestions users have been offering for vip. As in poll/post views, special vip gifts (that’s mostly a cute idea more than a concern or want), receiving coins faster would be a cool benefit to have. I feel like you have to post so much or never spend your coins to get up to a decent amount of coins. I think there’s just not much more a vip member gets than a regular member or at least the benefits aren’t really that great. When I was vip I did enjoy being able to see the comment views, and honestly that’s the only reason I renewed it the last two times. Lol, and also the price is a good price compared to other sites.

This poll should have probably been reversed.

“Which is your least favorite benefit?”

Because there are at least five benefits in that list that are required. If any of those went away, I would be gone for good.

edit: corrected bad spelling

@SW-User Thank you. That's not the case. We're not going to remove any feature. We really just want to know what are our users' favorites :)
What are you best 5?

Id love to be able to see poll results 👀 and who viewed my posts 👀

@SW-User Agreed. For most polls that I vote on (not all, but most) I would not vote if someone could see my vote.

@SW-User ah ... yeah thats it. *pats you on the head* ewww... wash your hair! 😖

It would be amazing if you could let us see how many accounts come from the same URL... so that we know who a strange new account belongs to . Is it the original or a secondary account ? 😊😊😊
@TexChik hope we make it to 3 dates and more
TexChik · F
@saragoodtimes just have fun 😉
@TexChik not some naïve young girl think I can be comfortable with anyone

How about the ability to block certain groups?
@SW-User That would get my vote for what is needed

@SW-User so you saying you want someone to gift you VIP? 😏
Nuno · Admin
@SW-User It's already possible to gift VIP to someone. I just never thought that would be a "favorite VIP feature" 😄
SW-User
@SW-User @Nuno 😂 it's just because I've been gifted a VIP by a kind hearted person here. Hahahahha
midnightsun · 26-30, M
1)Block /mute is something useful .

2) profile visitors and invisible mode is good feature

3)'seen' is also pretty useless for me. I don't really need to know whether they read it or not.

4) seeing who hearted, last online times and VIP badge is also useless. Most VIPs don't really use the badge




I want new benefits.

1) getting more coins quickly so that I can gift people.

2) a much, much better SW customer support

3) VIP reports should be of higher priority

Etc..
Nuno · Admin
@midnightsun Thank you. But, can you please be more specific how can we give you "better support"? I just want to understand exactly what you mean with that, so we can improve. :)
SW-User
@midnightsun Being able to laugh everything off in yourself, is not enough support?
midnightsun · 26-30, M
@Nuno I posted something about racist harassment a month+ ago . I think I even messaged you (or some mod) about it.

Received no help. I was so mad about it.

I’d like to suggest a way to either bookmark posts or be able to favorite them so I can go to one place to see all the posts I like/liked.

Also there’s been mentions of chatrooms or private groups but that just seems like more reasons for drama imo...but maybe not🤷🏻‍♂️
Nuno · Admin
Hello,

Please note that you can pin/bookmark posts on your profile. They will appear on the main page of your profile, above all other more recent posts.

It is also possible to go on Groups and see only posts by you:

@Nuno I was thinking more about other people’s posts...😊
@Haniazed my list is almost identical to yours 😏
SW-User
It has to be the Block/Mute limits. 😅
SailorMarz · F
Never had VIP but i'd only like the viewing my profile views, seeing hearts on posts & being invisible when viewing profiles
@Nuno I don't see how it's useful if you can only see most of the people that visit your profile. It's a feature designed to counter another feature. It's the SW version of spy vs. spy.
Nuno · Admin
@SooperSarah The same you can say about the Delete button on replies. Why allow people replying to posts, if the post owner can remove it? Same for Blocks/Mutes. And Appearing Offline.
@Nuno I don't see that as the same, or even similar. The main difference being they aren't privileges people pay for. I'm not complaining. I've just never understood the point of paying to see who visits your profile when people can still stop you from seeing. I'm excited to see what you guys roll out next!
Noble · 56-60, M
I vote for private groups 🙋🏻‍♂️
Pfuzylogic · M
The reason I got it was to close a Post just in time. It was getting more confrontative than I had planned but all of the benefits listed I have found useful.
Nuno · Admin
@Pfuzylogic Yes - we do find that some posts really need to be Closed. It's a good "moderation" feature for the users.
Bubbles · 36-40, F
Definitely the invisible when visiting profiles, that way I don't creep anybody out when I view their profile several time a day :P
Disposal · 36-40, M
I personally like the VIP Badge. It indicates that they like the site, and support the site. If I had to improve on the VIP. Increase Coins by 10%, after two Months of VIP and become regular should get to keep at least one benefit like the Block limit. Special VIP Gifts to give, increase the limit on the feature posts, and also ViP should get a Gift to receive for buying ViP for the first time. Sorta like a badge of honour as a Thank you for supporting the site.
you'll get more to buy VIP
if you can open a VIP only chat feature
Nuno · Admin
@RooiSoosSkarlakenWitSoosSneeu This one is going to our notes for further discussion. Thank you!
Peaches · F
@RooiSoosSkarlakenWitSoosSneeu Not unless they can find a way for some of us not to get hacked with our credit cards out here?!😐️🚫
Synyster · 51-55, M
See all hearts on posts & remove all adds.

This site is so much better than were I came from.
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
What is on the horizon for VIP users, give us a tease! 😉
it sorta seems to me that it should be switched around... either move 'see who's viewed' to non paid status and you can pay to hide your viewing... or paid means you can see who views period. none of this someone also paid to not show you views. after you paid to be able to see them. ... it seems unright.
SW-User
@stound This is something I pondered too. It is a little weird that you have to pay to see who visits your profile while others can pay the same amount to be omitted in that overview. This essentially means that for this feature, there is no difference between two people paying or neither one paying.

Of course this not the only benefit of a VIP membership and this particular feature is by no means useless in its current implementation as it still allows to view visits by non-paying members. But it does raise an interesting question: should paying provide you ultimate privacy or ultimate information?

I've tried to provide the pros and cons of all possible combinations, but couldn't find a suitable format to do so. I think/hope that the pros and cons are fairly obvious though, so such an overview isn't necessary.
Nuno · Admin
You have the right to make yourself invisible, but that doesn't mean everyone else does the same. You can still see most of your visitors. And remember, only VIPs can make themselves invisible.
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
Wow, hard to pick just one.
Ironicman · 56-60, M
Maybe you shoud consider giving long standing members a free trial for a couple of weeks if you're looking to boost VIP subscriptions. There's not much there I can see to intice me. I'm not bothered about seeing who's looked at me or going invisible. Perhaps a trial might change that?
SW-User
It was hard to pick just one and don't even remember what I picked in the poll. But the most important ones I would really miss without VIP are:

- View profile visitors
- See hearts on all posts
- Know when others read your PM
- Remove all ads
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
I like several. It was hard to pick just one! I hope you don’t get rid of the current benefits.
Nuno · Admin
@ChampagneOnIce Nope! They will continue to exist :) Thank you.

I'm not a VIP member and never will be.
I don't know what the "benefits" are of being a VIP member here other than you possibly getting my money?
You advertise this site as "supportive" yet allow way too much UNsupportive shit to go on. I can't say I will always be "supportive" being the amount of "asshats" that are on here.

I would love to see a VIP gift list, reduced items maybe?
@Nuno
That's exactly my point, we won't be able to see all visitors, even with VIP. I wasn't talking about who makes use of it and whom not, but merely the fact that even with VIP we won't be able to see all who visits our profiles. Just a thought on those two benefits somewhat offsetting each other.
Nuno · Admin
@SapphicHeart You see more than a non-VIP sees. We just give an extra privacy option as well, that's all.
@Nuno
I'm aware and that wasn't the point. It's no biggy. It is what it is, we won't be able to see if a VIP using invisible mode will be watching/following/visiting our profiles, being VIP ourselves or not. It's all I was pointing out.

I have a suggestion for VIP. An option to remove our activity from the "recent activity" feed. I would be stoked about that!
Nuno · Admin
@Magenta I would like to understand this suggestion better. Your posts and replies are public. What would the benefit be in not showing the recent activity feed? Thank you very much. Happy to hear your opinion.

@Nuno No, thank YOU very much. I will pm if that's ok. :-)

This isn't relevant to VIP, but I wouldn't mind if we could see how many users there are of the website

Hmmm. Removing ads or boosted block limits???
Blocking is the [i] only[/i] reason. Lucky corporate SW that there are so many trolls, haters and pervs around here
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
Remove all ads is best, closely followed by all hearts on posts. The rest of them I don't really use myself.
