So, some of you might have read my suggestion in the discussion about premium benefits and why they're in place, but for those who haven't, here's the jist of it:
Charge members to upload their tracks. Something on the order of $1-$2. Alternatively, host a "Premium Exchange" where members pay to upload to and are more prominently featured on the homepage, and where (possibly) there is an additional points benefit for rating.
Both of these suggestions would likely increase the quality of the exchange, and prevent "unfinished" tracks from being uploaded. The premium exchange would give those members who really want feedback a place to have their tracks more prominently featured and have more incentives for people to rate.
One last thing, Premium members should retain free upload privileges via the first option, and receive a heavy discount on the premium exchange idea, because I know that having my track featured prominently on the homepage is important enough to me to pay for it, even above a yearly donation to the site.
Now, before the flaming ensues, I have absolutely no idea how difficult this would be to implement, but if I received word that work was started on something of this nature, I would seriously consider upgrading to a premium account. And by "seriously consider" I mean "I will".
My question to you is, which do you think is the better idea?
