[Suggestion] Stackable Donor Flairs

[WillTaylorDev]

As posted on the subreddit. Thank you in advance for your consideration:

First and foremost, thank you to the dev team for hearing me pester the living hell out of you guys on the previous donor flair. I just ask you to listen one more time :)

Someone had brought up in a previous post the notion of stackable flairs; I think this is an awesome idea, and I would like to bring it to the forefront for discussion. I propose that either the $200 or $100 donor flairs be stackable. This would not require any new flair icons, and would be a minimal CSS change. I believe this addition/modification would initially bring in a substantial amount of revenue, which could be used to help fund new servers, upgrade our existing servers, or just go into the rainy day fund. Also, who doesn't love a bit of competition?

Found this image on the subreddit in regards to stackable party hats (credits to /u/BurgerKingBling): http://i.imgur.com/wxMsIki.png I would imagine something like this could be done with donor flairs.
The biggest issue I foresee with stackable flairs would be that they interfere with how much a player can see on-screen. For this reason, if this were to be implemented, perhaps we can put a cap on the number being displayed (5 sounds reasonable?). This would still allow players to show off a max of $500/$1k worth of donations.

Anyhow, would love for dev and community feedback on the idea. Thanks for all you guys do.

I think your concern over it becoming distracting is warranted. Why the donor would enjoy it, I think the other players would become annoyed. I think a better solution is the easier one: Just add another level of donor flair.

I was under the impression that the devs said nope.jpg to adding another
level of donor flair. FWIW, I think the annoyance would be minimal,
assuming that it's restricted to a maximum number of stacks. Someone on the
thread suggested it stack horizontally, which I think would be the perfect
solution.

Hey lucky, thanks again for the comment. Was hoping you had time to think about possibly adding the stackable flair, or possibly another level of donor flair. Appreciate all the work you guys are doing :3
