I like the idea of letting your donations accrue to get a patron status. If I had two suggestions to make to branch out from that it'd be . . .

1) Set a minimum donation amount to save mk and co money and hassle. A bunch of $1 and $2 donations here and there might cost too much transaction wise and be more of a hassle to deal with than they're worth.

2) Keep patronage anonymous. I don't think other users should know who is and isn't a patron, lest people start expecting special treatment.

Definitely forgot about the transaction cost, so that would definitely be a good idea to have a minimum.

Second point is something I didn't even think about. Although, I wonder what perks they could whip up under those circumstances..

Isn't a sense of patronage and altruism a perk in itself?

To some I guess it is (To me it is), but they could probably give some more minor things . I don't know what those minor things are, but there are probably some things for people that want more than that.

$100 dollars should let you see who has you hushed, muted, etc... I'm sure that a few people would pay.
