I've been thinking of things that could add more "depth" to NB using the mechanics and privilages already given to ALL members, one of them being the privilege to accumulate and spend Kumi.

1.The purchase of premium memberships witih Kumi:I was thinking that it would be a great Idea to be able to purchase premium memberships with Kumi. And to prevent "spamming" of this privilage, there would be a large price gap between each membership, and there would also be a time gap from when you can make your next purchase.

However, since this privilage would be purhcased with Kumi instead of actual money, it wouldnt last as long as a premium membership purchased with money would.


2.The "Bail Bond" System: The "Bail Bond" system would allow members to "pay off" non severe infractions. Meaning that you could pay kumi to have your Infraction expired immidiately. This can be useful when a member wants to keep his or her infraction points down.

Example: If you recieve a warning, the mod who gave you the infraction can give you the option of "Bail Bond" to have your infraction expired immediately, or to have the expiration date decreased.

Another Idea of this system is "Infraction reduction": Depending on the scenario, If a memeber recieves a severe infraction, he or she can pay a LARGE amount of Kumi to have that infraction reduced to a warning.

3.The purchase/wholesale of Role Playing Bios "The Bio Shop": Role Playing is one of the main privilages of the NB community. I've noticed that some members go through alot of work to get Bios made, and some just get lazy in the process and eventually forget about it.I've know alot of members who dont complete a bio due to all of the work they have to do to get it just right. This also can be frustrating to memebrs who are new or inexperienced to Role playing, or want to enjoy Role Playing but they dont have enough time on their hands to create a solid Bio.

Here is how this system would work. Members would have the option of purchasing approved Bios, or putting them up for sale. The members would come to agreement on a price amongst themselves. The member who sold the bio would have to confirm this in some fashion to keep confusion from spawning.


I hope at least one of these suggestions deem resonable and logical. How do you guys feel about these suggestions?

1.nah, its much better to just stick with real money because then the very old members who were here before 09 that has over 5000 kumi just for signing up would all have premium.

2. A crime is a crime, we can't all be george zimmerman.

3.agreeable....

Premium is used to pay the site.
Only my speculation, most likely true

Good ideas, yo! However, I don't think any of them would actually be "right". For starters, I'm really new ( don't mind the post count :D), but I created a bio no problem (with a tad bit of help, but not much). ;) Second, I've never had an infraction; that's merely because I read every single rule before posting...it's not hard. Lastly, if people could get premium simply with kumi...then who would be supporting the site?

I don't mean to be bashing since I still think these to be great ideas, they're reasonable. However, if someone really wants to pay kumi to another for a bio...be my guest. :D

Thanks. And yes, In a sense this could be true, but every other member may not be as patient or persistent as you, or have the amount of time on their hands as most members do such as yourself. "The Bio Shop" would solve this problem. ;) And yes, but there are members who do get infractions. Even GOOD/rule following members get infractions once in a while, and this would help them keep their infraction record clean.

And thank you for voicing your opinion.

No problem. ^_^ Yeah, it took me less than 10 minutes to make my bio, that's simply because I am a writer after all, and it was approved without any changes I might add. I read all the rules in less than 20-30 minutes, not that it was necessary since I am a forum veteran (I've joined lots, but none as great as NB :D )

I would be greatly surprised if I ever received an infraction, in fact, I'll bet 100 kumi that I never do. It's super easy not to get one...too easy. I will be a mod one day...believe it! _O-

I have a life of course, but my life is on the computer U_U. I do all my work on here as it is, forums are just what I use to take a break once in a while, and since NB is the only forum I'm participating in currently, it's easy to rack up post count. ;)

I'm not for buying premium membership with Kumi. It's bad for people like me who were bad boys in the past and changed their ways(I promise (-O-O)- ), gathering up the amount I have now took like, what? 1 month? And I'm not that inactive, besides, the money is needed since servers cost money.
Also, if you get a lot of kumi per post, you could only go spam in the konnihiwa section or play in the game section all the time, no problem, even though restrictions have been set, since you'd be able to accumulate a lot in no time.

The bail bond is also kinda, meh.
They got an infraction because they broke a rule, it isn't like in an arrest, the consequences aren't as severe, you know this and still do the stupid things you do to break the rules, I say they have to live with the infractions they get.

No comment on 3. since I don't rp with bios~

Also, 'depth', even though it is a bit off-topic, I think it adds to the shallowness in its own way with 1. and 2. ...

Keep the ideas coming though, Kumi is pretty much useless as is nowadays anyway.

The first one is already suggested a while ago, if I remember correctly, so that won't happen

2 & 3 are good though, but there are already bio shops out there who can make you a solid, neat biography, and I think some of them are without paying...

1st one won't happen, the Premium membership was made as a reward for people that help maintaining the site, it's not something that you can get for nothing, and Kumi is pretty much nothing.

2nd one... NO the rules are meant for everyone, there shouldn't be any difference between people with Kumi, who by what you are proposing would be able to get passed minor infractions, and other members who don't have that much Kumi.

3rd one... yea that would be nice.

Not a single idea will work..
I'll explain why..

1.) Membership system was introduced so that the money admins get, can be used for maintaining this website, since there are almost No-ads on this website, unlike others. So they need some money for it, to maintain the site, so that the people like us can stay on this site. And if people start buying the membership from Kumi, then the the idea of membership would be of no use.

2.) An infraction is given to you, when you broke some rules. It is a sort of punishment or something which you can remember before breaking another rule. And if it would be that easy to bail ur infraction just by paying kumi, then each day every member will break one or the other rule, thinking that they will pay kumi for it and will never get banned. Coz you get banned when you receive 3 points (as far as I know), and if after each point of infraction you will pay for bail of ur infraction then your points will never reach 3, and you will never get banned. And it will be like a criminal is committing crime again and again and still roaming freely in the country.

3.) Some bios are special, like raikage bios, nagato, minato or any other bio which requires bio test. Lets say I make a Raikage bio and pass the test with my skills and knowledge but after few months I decide to drop the bio. Then instead of dropping the bio, I can simply sell it to anyone for the sake of kumi. But the person to whom I am selling the bio, it isn't necessary that the person is eligible for the bio. Maybe he don't even know what the special bio have. And thus he might misuse the bio. And also by allowing the selling of the bios, the main purpose of "Bio Test" will fail.

If One Piece Bay is giving Premium Membership for Beli (kumi in OPB) why can't NB give away Premium for Kumi? Of course at a reasonable price, say 100,000 Kumi for 1 month.

Guys, don't be mean about it...jeez. I agree the ideas might not work except for maybe the bio one. @Enzup He wasn't talking about special bios, he's talking about bios for people that don't know how to make one properly and need help. Therefore they can buy a "starter" bio with kumi. ;)
