Refund

[jar546]

Just processed another Sawhorse refund to someone who retired and forgot to stop their auto-pay. You guys have to stop getting older and retiring for Pete's sake. How am I supposed to pay the forum bills around here? Our costs have doubled over the past year. Shheeshhh.

How am I supposed to pay the forum bills around here?

I wonder if a Patreon “tip jar” would be something people would use, whether or not they have an account. Maybe a Greenhorn gets some help and is feeling happy and generous at that moment and throws you a few bucks. Seems like I see some YouTube channels with the Patreon accounts but no way to know if they have many supporters.

Can you limit the number of post for non supporters? Like the news outlets that you get to see x number of articles free then you have to pay.

Add a tariff surcharge to the renewal.

I'm still here and paying!

Can you change the payment so that it's not an automatic renewal? Once a year you get a message that it's time to re-up, that wouldn't be too bad, or maybe every second year? It would also be an opportunity to raise your price.

<duck out of the way for thrown objects>

Maybe limit the number of characters in a post to non-payers, or limit the length of the responses they can see? Maybe limit the number of posts per day?

That would be my personal preference, as a standard policy I don’t want to authorize anyone to be able to automatically charge my credit card. But with that said, it wasn’t a deal breaker for me.

It would also be an opportunity to raise your price.

It is not unreasonable to expect things to go up in price, things get more expensive and a business can only absorb increases in the cost of their operation for so long.

Check this out, I didn’t know there was an option to contribute $10.00, I don’t remember seeing that before, that’s basically as good as my suggestion for a Patreon tip jar. Not sure how a Greenhorn will know this is an option if it’s only on the page regarding upgrading their account.

I just started working on that but not done yet. Just started this morning but had to leave for work.

I hate when work gets in the way of being productive ...

I think we would have to hash that out. I don't know if the system can do that.
