Monetarization Concept

[rainbowdashlabs]

Benefits for supporters

In order to cover server costs I want to introduce some things for monetization. Most of it should be new additional features. Some aim towards restricting additional features without making the bot unusable.

Analytics Features

• Longer analyzer log retention. 7 days instead of 1day Restrict time for reputation log based on app subscription #668
• See the full reputation log of a user (Otherwise its the last 20 entries) Restrict visible user logs #669
• Detailed user profile: Contains given reputation for example #670
• Personal ranking: See how much reputation was received from who and given to who #671
• Guild metrics (Same as metrics but on a guild level. Not all metrics might be available for that, but we can aggregate a lot in runtime) Guild metrics #672
• Automatic sending of a top #274
• Send Reputation Log into channel #688

Customization

• Make "reputation" configurable #60
• Block nicknaming the bot and allow for supporters #673
• Additional Reputation emojis. The default one can still be customized Restrict additional reactions #674

Quota

Those mostly aim towards reducing computational resources per guild

• Restrict reputation categories to 2 (Would affect less than 10% of users) Allow restricting reputation categories #675
• Restrict reputation channels to 5 (Would affect 10% of users) Allow restricting reputation channels #676
• Disable blacklist setting for "free" tier (Would affect 25% of users) Allow to restrict available list types #677

requires further consideration

• Restrict member count on free tier
• Alternative to members: Restrict analysed messages per month on a server.

Blockers for implementing monetarisation:

• No essential features should get restricted beyond usability
• Allow to grant guilds premium features without paying
• Implement framework to restrict features based on active app subscriptions #678
