    Jamescool13
    Suggestion:
    Have a system where one can do surveys in exchange for credits that can be spent on purchasing donation features.
    Reason:
    This will mean that people will be able to earn the money easily by doing surveys, meaning that more people will be able to donate.
    Any Other Information:
    There are a variety of survey pay providers such as 'sometrics', 'superrewards', 'tokenads' and 'sponserpay' - this system is widely used by websites that offer payment features such as www.tribalwars.net.

    I'm not going to give a link, just do a google search and read the websites terms and conditions

    Yes, however that requires someone to have a Paypal account, which most user of this server are too young to have. It would be much easier just to be able to do surveys on this site for credits that can be exchanged for donation features.

    A survey that would give you EcoDollars, real life money, or GiftCard credits?

    One that would give you giftcard credits that could then be spent on donation features, so it is basically another way of earning the money to pay for the donations.​

    Just to add - this system is used by loads of online games where you can purchase extra features, as it makes it very easy for children who use the website to be able to purchase these add-ins without requiring a credit card.

    I don't really see how a survey like this can benefit a Minecraft server, much less earn money. Therefore, I -1 this suggestion. We do have 3-day raffles, and this can earn you money as well as the possibility to earn GiftCards. These posts bump us up on the Minecaft forums, and I do see the benefit in that.

    I think perhaps that there might be a slight misunderstanding on how this would work. The surveys are done through a provider such as 'sometrics' or 'tokenpay'; they are nothing to do with the server, instead they are whatever surveys these companies provide. Then in exchange for doing these, the survey provider give the user credit for doing the surveys that can be exchanged for donation features.

    Ohh. I get it now. I never really trusted those as I always thought there would be somewhat of a catch. I personally do not like these.

    The companies that do them are trusted, and I have used them on other websites before and they work.

    The only problem is, lots of surveys are good for the US but they're little "surveys" that require you to enter your phone number in a lot of other countries, they then proceed to send you text messages, which will cost you a lot of money. I've seen this many times before and it's the reason I don't like this suggestion. (It's happened with both websites you mentioned before, btw)

    Phiphiphi smells a fishy situtation.
    I've always been wary of "free stuff".

    Well, I have used them on other websites, and there are a section of 'free' ones which don't require you to enter your mobile phone - what they are paying you for really is customer feedback to help the marketing departments at large companies.

    Those large companies are often stationed in the US and gain nothing from feedback from people in other countries.
    In The Netherlands, for example, there are nearly always "text to complete" surveys where you have to enter your phonenumber.

    Er... I don't think that you have understood the concept - the idea is that survey pay companies are linked with this site, and one does survey's through them in exchange for being given credits that can be redeemed through them to get donation features on here.
