Reposting this here for greater visibility,
Suggestion, make a separate ‘Gilded Highlights’ for Gilded users only. Leaving the ‘Official Highlights’ alone by adding a ‘Gilded Highlights’ feature they can contribute something to once per hour/day/week/month depending on respective Gilded level (pay more/post more). If the Gilded post gets a sufficient amount of reactions (good or bad) from being highlighted, it could potentially be added to the ‘Official Highlights’ in a gold font. It would be really funny to see people paying to shamelessly self promote their own posts hoping to become thread celebs and then in-fighting amongst one another, a-logging other users by highlighting their latest retarded post, or just a daily feed of original artwork, etc. the more active and less disruptive to the ‘Official Highlights’ feed the better. People would happily pay for more attention, and status. The ability to post in ‘Gilded Highlights’ alone would be the most valuable and easiest way to be differentiated from a regular user, aside from the optional Gilded profile customizations. Each ‘Gilded Highlight’ could optionally have the Gilded user’s name displayed on it, allowing them to be recognized for the quality of the Highlight while also letting them remain anonymous if they want. Which could enable Lurking Cows to become Gilded just to alog their alogs, by highlighting their critic’s most retarded or hypocritical posts to discredit their opinions.
