ihop Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I think YCM should get somebody with lots of points to be a loan shark, so say if somebody needs points for a contest but doesn't have enough he can borrow some and pay them back later.

moneypony Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Well,with 20,000+ points,i am pretty sure thats enough and not to mention whoever the official loan shark is,makes money from people loaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yes promoting Loan Sharks is good.....reword what they are. Loan Sharks are seen as a bad thing. I'm on the fence for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeroflame Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I support you!But i think Loan Shark should be a moderator so that he can bann anyone you doesnt give back the points by the time limit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGAKITTY Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I support you!But i think Loan Shark should be a moderator so that he can bann anyone you doesnt give back the points by the time limit! And then what? Points are still gone, and user makes a new account. -___________-  The idiocy of this is that no one will ever need that many points. Contest fees rarely go over 20. If you want to have a contest with like a 10,000 point prize, you just charge each member who joins 200 points, because its totally worth it for a shot at 10,000. At no point would you ever need to take out a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypony Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 They also need someway to prevent people from using them in contests because they can just loan a huge amount which can buy more than 3x the current tickets in the lottery and earn it back plus more.Of course,that depends on how much the interest rate it..

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I probably support, but YCMaker could make an account with a couple million points for loans and people can borrow off of that. Or have someone with tons of points act as one. I'd volunteer, but I need 10,000 more points :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 You have a point:Â It happens in reality too, so that's why if I support this idea, a mod should be appointed the Loan Shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntar! Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 This is why we need a bank system, so the moderator/administrator who runs the banking system can give out points as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabHelmet Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Loan sharks only work in real life because they can hunt you down and put you on a boat to play rock-paper-scissors. On the internet, this is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 But I wonder, what happens when a member goes gets too deep into the hole and he can't pay back what he took out... Does he get any punishment or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SushiTheLegend Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 FAIL IDEA is FAIL. When will you people learn that YCM =/= Real Life. AKA It doesn't work, this isn't real life and promoting loan sharks is just sad. That's like saying someone on the forum should be a Terrorist(Porn Spammer). >> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
