Gifts/Virtual Gifts Wishlist
From Dreamwidth Notes
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/851594.html - Enable ability to edit VG page (and gift information), and to schedule for following month.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/820471.html - Bulk 'packages' of virtual gifts
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/895600.html -- VGifts displayed to (a) friends group(s) that the recipient decides (counter-suggestion: public-friends-private.)
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/778966.html Ability to buy a paid-only layout as a gift.
- http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/875768.html - previous/next buttons for virtual gifts
Specific vgift ideas
- A teal-colored deer (teal deer = tl;dr = too long; didn't read).
- National flags!
- LGBT symbols: rainbow thingy, bisexual thingy, bear thingy, leather thingy, and so on.
- I <3 DW gift, perhaps which allows people to contribute as much as they like to the site in return for a lovely PNG.
- the Golden Spanner, gifted to people who've contributed to the site in some way a la PAF.
Implementation Notes
- LJ has a notification for "friend gets virtual gift". This must respect bans.
- Rate limiting: once upon a time, someone (I think Connie) got someone (I think Kevin) approximately 1,000 free-to-volunteers snowflake cookie vgifts. They were all delivered on the same date. Some of Kevin's friends had the "my friend gets a vgift" notification on. This flooded the inboxes of any of his friends who were subscribed. This is why we can't have nice things.
