Hi Andy,
We are actually working on putting in place a policy that would reward both long time Message Board (MB) users and relatively new MB users that are actively posting at some level each year something related to home automation and in accordance with the message board rules. So we have come up with two possible ways to qualify for discounts on software updates or software upgrades.
Here are a couple of scenarios. If a MB user over the prior year posted at least 24 times, has been a registered HAL customer for 2 years and has at least 100 posts, they would be eligible for 10% discount. Another way to achieve that same 10% discount would simply require having posted 48 times in the prior year.
To achieve higher discounts another scenario would be a MB user who over the prior year posted at least 24 times, has been a registered HAL customer for 5 years and has at least 200 posts, they would be eligible for 20% discount. Another way to achieve that same 20% discount would simply require having posted 96 times in the prior year with no tie to how long they have been a HAL customer.
The longer the activity or the more frequent the post, the larger the discount they would recognize. This policy is timely as we are about to cross into the next year! We hope this encourages board activity that is both constructive and helpful to the HAL MB community and rewards both long time customers and active users/members.
Please let me know you thoughts before the end of the year!
Best Regards,
Tim
