PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP

I have been a member since February and I upgraded to platinum as I get a lot of pleasure from Sploofus. However, I don't really understand what extra benefits there are.
Perhaps I don't really understand all of the site that well. Any takers in offering advice?

This is a "touchy" thing and has been talked about before. The bottom line is that one advantage of being "Platinum" is being able to author the puzzles. Platinum also give one unlimited attempts at doing WR/WM. Other things have been promised and hopefully they will materialize but have not to this point. If I have forgotten any advantage other than "support of the site", sure someone will call me on it-Linda There are many more advantages over nonpaying members but advantages between Gold and Platinum pretty much do not exist.

As you can see from the above list, "Unlimited Word Puzzles" is available at both the Gold and Platinum levels.

FYI (and this is a sore spot for some members), "Unlimited Word Puzzles" really means 2-per-day, which is the maximum number currently available (launched at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET). It doesn't mean an infinite number. "Unlimited" just means you aren't limited to the 1-per-week which is available to non-paying members.

Back in the day, I think the Platinum level was created as a way for Sploofus-lovers to contribute more to the costs of operating the site. There are very few additional rewards for this level. Maybe that will change eventually.

Here's another benefit: Lovely purple background on your chat postings!

You forgot the most important one....
Gold Members get a gold background on their messages
Platinum Messages get a BLUE background on their messages
So everyone KNOWS you're a Platti Member

And you get to write "special" Word Puzzles

Thanks.
Thought I was going to go through some "portal" when I became Platinum and magic things would happen, but they didn't!..... like joining a special club!!!!!
I guess I've kept pretty much to myself over the last few months, trying to fathom out this site. Not sure if I'd author word puzzles as I'm not great at those. I did write a few quizzes when I first joined, but got side tracked with the new things on the site around the middle of the year. I still seem to make mistakes when I author quizzes so hope the 5 new ones I have just written will go through okay.

Platinum members get 25 guesses at the WTHAIs, Gold members get 15 and non-paying members get 5.

Hi Judy. Don't be discouraged if you get your quiz back for corrections. Writing quizzes is not as easy as it looks and it's a learning process we all struggle with. Just study the SQAG thoroughly and follow it as faithfully as you can. Each time you write a quiz it gets easier I think. (I hope!)

Don't forget that Gold and Platinum members get to access the new "Island" forum, and hang out at the Coconut Grove bar by the seashore under the swaying palms.

I'd prefer currulian blue. How do you like that one, Rowlanda dear.
