Took me this long to start wondering, why Similar Worlds is offering VIP...

I'm quite certain, that most of us are using AdBlock Plus and/or uBlock Origin. I have never seen a single ad on the site... So, what is the point of VIP, really?

[c=#008099]VIP allows you to circumvent certain settings on other user's accounts, such as certain privacy settings.

As well, VIP allows one to have more than one username account so that you can wander around with an alias comprised of a different username than what you had originally. In other words, SW promotes trolling activity vicariously through the use of your VIP status.[/c]

@swirlie Well, I won't be getting one. I'd love to help with supporting the site, but I have my own rules and one account, no peeking around... I have something called "integrity".

[c=#008099]Exactly! And integrity is something that is foreign to the operations management of this website. Although the website promotes trolling vicariously through the beneficial use of a VIP account, troll-prevention then becomes a responsibility to be maintained by the membership, not the management![/c]
