Update On Tier Benefits
Added 2020-06-14 19:14:46 +0000 UTCPatrons,
If you haven't already, please read the recent post on sales tax and how it may affect some pledges starting in July.
Also, it's been some time since we updated the benefits awarded at our various tiers. We're making the following adjustments to those tiers above Booster:
For Altruist tier and above: We've retooled the 'voting on question prioritization' benefit. Instead of voting, if you create a question on the site, message us here with a link to the question, and we will have our mod team give special priority and attention to launching that question.
For Effective Altruist tier and above: We've similarly revisited 'voting on new site features' to instead let Patrons message us here with ideas for new site features.
These can be original ideas, someone else's original idea, or ideas that have already been discussed but not implemented on-site (say, on the 'What Features Should Metaculus Add' discussion page). In any of these cases, the effect is to have the dev team give special priority, attention, and weight to these proposed feature updates. At the Effective Altruist tier, you can "bump" one feature a month, while at the Visionary tier, you are able to select two features.
If you have any questions, please do message us here.
Thank you for your support, and happy predicting,
The Metaculus Team
