I have been a site visitor for about a year. I have used the database during this time. However, I do not do many miles and have therefore not found any new cameras in my area.

However, since I find the database useful, I decided it was only fair that I contributed in some way. So, I donated some money via paypal a few months ago - before any of the changes were announced. I thought this was an appropriate way of joining the community and saying thankyou. I did this of my own free will with no incentives or proposed rewards.

Now, I feel a little upset as it has been said that people who donated money would get a years free subscription to the database (whereas contributors of cameras, even if only 1 camera, would get a lifetime subscription).

I feel that I contributed in a way that was appropriate since I had found no new cameras. Why I am not on the same reward structure as everyone else? What else could I have done to contribute to the running of the site?

I would appreciate a response from Darren or a mod on this please as I feel it is a genuine point. I hope you can address the balance here.

I wish you all the best in the future. Thanks for your help

Can I ask when this situation will be clarified?

I have seen 2 or 3 different proposals so far but a clear decision has obviously not been made yet.

I am concerned that people who donated money should be given a lifetime subscription like those who contributed camera locations. This is only fair (please read my above post)

Given that the charges are supposed to be commencing in February - can someone from the GPSTeam please comment on this now.

I have said all along that people who donated money should be given a free lifetime subscription like those who donated camera locations. I hope you agree that this is a fair system.

People who contributed to the community in ANY appropriate way, should be rewarded in the same way surely.

Having only just seen this thread I will discuss the points with my colleagues and reply in due course.
