V.I.P. Benefits
So what exactly makes creating a thousand posts in this forum and receiving the "V.I.P." rank worth it, anyway? Well, a lot actually!
Access to the "V.I.P. Lounge"
V.I.P. members will get to hang with the big boys and girls up at the "V.I.P. Lounge" Category. This is where most of the Staff members mingle, and voices heard in the V.I.P. lounge ring a whole lot louder than in non-V.I.P. ones, if you know what I mean! *wink*
Access to Special V.I.P. Rewards Shop
The special V.I.P. Rewards Shop offers rewards that were normally meant for Staff members only. But because of all the scraping and climbing you'll need to do to get here -- and trust us, we''ll love you for it, too -- we'll grant you the ability to purchase any Staff exclusive reward that we have in stock!
Weekly Stipend
What's better than getting paid for just being important? Not much! V.I.P.s will be given a weekly stipend of ยง500 (equivalent to 100 posts) every Monday of the week! See, told you we'd love you for getting here!
Access to Semi-Annual Raffles
Another feature meant for Staff only, you'll have access to our semi-annual raffles! V.I.P. members who purchase "raffle tickets" at the V.I.P. Rewards Shop will be entered in the raffle and have a chance to win big rewards such as Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs, and SimPoints! (No, I am not kidding!)
Permanent Acknowledgement in our Magazine
That's right! Every single issue we release, you will see your name, your avatar, and a heartfelt description about you written by yours truly in our "Sims Creative Forum V.I.P.s" section of our magazine! You will get the same benefits of those featured in the "Big Spenders" section, having you, your website, blog, Sims 3 account, etc. promoted by us -- only this time, it's PERMANENT!
So what are you waiting for? Get to earning those Simoleons, people!
Member Evaluation for V.I.P. Rank
Due to the potential exploitation of the money system, members will be heavily evaluated by the entire staff before receiving "V.I.P." rank. Member will be evaluated on the following:
- Regular activity within the forum
- High Neighbor Points (Karma)
- Average posts per day (Unusually high and unrealistic numbers will elicit suspicion of money system exploitation)
- Good standing with fellow members
- Good standing with the staff
- Long-time membership
Any member caught exploiting the money system will have all their Simoleons removed, receive a 50% warning, and will no longer be eligible for rewards indefinitely.
