discussion Credit System for purchasing Members+

[savage62]

damn 500 coins seems so far off

 

[savage62]

Anyone know when the next discount is?

Anyone know when the next discount is?

The discounts are unannounced randomly once a week.

When you go into the shop and click on one of the ranks, you can see on the right site when the price was last changed. That's when the last discount ended (or started if one is currently on).
That way you can kinda guess when the next might come.

cute and innocent way

Sure..

The "bank" feature is promising.

 

[Kolit121]

I like the bank feature

 

[kikomascado]

I bank is really helpful, vut it would be a lot more if depositing and withdrawing didn't reset the timer to collect interest and/or if the interest was collected automatically. Even using the site everyday, many times I forget to go to tge bank page.

The time has to reset, otherwise users could just share a bunch of coins and collect the interests and there are probably more ways to exploit it.

For a short time there was an automatic collection feature, but it was bugged and nobody got any coins for 2 days, so it got removed again.

I too forget to collect, just last time I missed 2 days (which had the equivalent coin value of 520 posts)

But we may get a new feature for the bank. I kinda suggested that we get a notificaton if interests are collectable. The bank feature plugin should have this as an option, so it may come.

Well, in the real word transactions don't "reset" interests, obviously it have a lot more complex math, but I think one easier way to circuvent this was to give interest based on the lowest value of the last 24 hours or something like that. So if someone empties their bank before the interests, they would receive nothing.
And yeah, a notification although not ideal, would help a lot already!

The issue with this is, if the bank plugin doesn't have this as a feature, it must be coded by someone and as far as I know LC currently lacks a forum software dev, that's why LC is looking for one.

There is much stuff that can go wrong while tweaking that, so one needs someone who knows what he's doing.
We already had all Members+ ranks removed by a bug once, imaging having all bank content removed.

I don't think it would be that difficult, but given the nature of the site I guess it is really hard indeed to find people who would offer to make that.
But hey, if all the coins disappear you can just give everyone Prestige4 so that nobody would complain! (Aside from the 62 people who have it already)
It's a joke, of course. But I do hope the bank system gets improved.

 

[User_110997]

slt yes thin member + went to 750 instead of 550 LC let's hope the next reduction is soon

 

[hddw45]

Probably will have account wipes by the time many reach their member rank.

What is the Credit System and how does it work?
NOTE: If you read something about "minimum post count" or "meaningful posts" or "time online" these are from the previous system and OUTDATED!

Read about the Credits System in the official thread:
-> Unlocking the Benefits: Active Member Rank Requirements and Advantages of VIP/VIP+ <-

TL;DR: What is this System? You have to earn Credits (LC coins) by participating in the forum and then unlock the Members+ Rank in the shop to access the Games+ section.

---

How to earn these Credits (LC Coins)?
You have to do certain activities as listed below.

These are the current numbers:

• Post a Post: Gives 5 credits. Be careful not to spam posts!
• Start a Thread: Gives 7 credits. Threads with the sole purpose to get credits may get deleted.
• Start a Game Thread: Gives 15 credits when you upload a game thread.
• Receive Reactions: Gives 5 credits. Don't beg or ask for likes, nobody likes that.
• Upload an Avatar: Gives 8 credits. Only works once.

Removed: Daily Login (People abused it with VPNs), Giving Reactions (People used scripts to mass like whole threads)
Sucks that they are gone? Yes, you can thank those who desperately need to cheat and abuse the system and thus make it harder for everybody else.

And here is an anti-spam measure in form of a cooldown timer:

The cooldown was reduced from 3 minutes to 90 seconds.

There is also a cooldown for recieving reactions from the same user. You can only get 3 likes worth of coins every minute from the same user.


There is one other method of earning coins: the Bank, click the arrow next to Shop to visit it.
-> Link to Bank <-

The Bank is pretty straight forward. You deposit coins and after 24h you can collect 2% interests. So if you put 500 coins into it, you'll get 10 coins per day.

Spoiler: How to use the Bank

You must be registered to see attachments

1. First you have to deposit coins. You need at least 50 coins to make it worthwhile (50 coins = 1 coin per day).
2. Then you have to wait full 24h. Attention: The countdown (re)starts whenever you do one of the transactions of the bank window.
3. After that, it will be show that you can collect the coins, so click on "Collect interest", the coins will be automatically put into the bank.
4. Withdraw coins if needed.

Notes:

• Every time you deposit, withdraw or collect interests the timer will be reset and the 24h starts anew. So if you want to be efficient, deposit new coins only right after you collected the interests.
• Interests will NOT accumulate, there will only ever be 24h worth of interests, so collect them every day.
• If something is displayed wrong, for example if you should be able to collect interests but it isn't showing, reload the page it should work afterwards.
• Having less than 50 coins will work too, but you'll get decimal numbers as interests. So 25 coins in the bank will get you 0.5 coins interests. They will be displayed as a rounded up number while still being a decimal number. You can test the true deposited worth by trying to withdraw more than there is in the bank. The true amount will be shown then.
• While you'll get the most out of the bank if you are meticulously about the timing of collecting and depositing, don't worry about this too much. Collecting an hour later is not so bad.

There was also a Lottery and a Casino but both are gone.

But what to do with these credits (LC COINs)?

If you have enough coins you can permanently purchase the Members+ Rank at the shop for 750 credits.
-> Link to the Shop <-
With it you have access to the Games+ section that have all the sweet sweet smols!
Members+ is all you need to get everything LC is supposed to offer.

If you already had unlocked the Members+ Rank from the previous system, YOU WILL STILL HAVE IT!

There are also Prestige-Ranks. They go from Rank 1 to Rank 4.
P1 (2560 LCC), P2 (4785 LCC), P3 (10,000 LCC) and P4 (40,000 LCC).
They all grand customization options for your account (like all the colorful ones you've seen all over the place) and a reduced cooldown for every action.

Every higher Rank has the same benefits as the previous one. So if you have the coins to buy Prestige 2, you won't need Prestige 1 or even Members+.
Because of that, there is no need to buy them in order.
Sadly there is no price reduction if you already have one of the lower ranks.

In the past Prestige-Ranks 1 and 2 had the names VIP and VIP+.

If you click on the shop items, you'll see what benefits they grand.


Once a week there is a sale/discount of shop items (including all ranks like Members+), so keep an eye open for its notification at the top left of the website.

Spoiler: About the discounts

The discount or sale appears once a week at a random day. It lasts for 24 hours and the discount ranges from 10%-40%, which reduces the price for Members+ to 450-675 coins.
If you look at the reduced price as the true costs of the ranks, you see it's suddenly not so bad.

Spoiler: How do I know a sale is going on?

Look at the upper left corner, it shows if there is a sale going on.

[Rodo]

This thread is great. I haven't been here for a while so I was lost. Thank you so much.

 

[Siriusjr01]

thanks for the information these changes surprised me now that I just came back to the site and did not understand anything.

 

[grim019]

Thanks for the thorough explanation.

 

[Roki1212]

Probably will have account wipes by the time many reach their member rank.

Why account wipes?? Or did I just not get the sarcasm...

 

[ErzuzB]

Why account wipes?? Or did I just not get the sarcasm...

Some users don't like the Credits System or Members+ in general and are just making stuff up.
