    Suggestion:
    The creation/addition of a shout-out donation feature. You can get unlimited free /shouts on 2 minute cooldowns. Of course, there should be rules implemented to stop spams of /shout.
    Reason:
    A new donation feature that has been brought to my attention due to high demand. /Shout costs 1k a shout and a donation feature that allows /shout will make advertising easier and guaranteed that lots of people would want it as /ch tr sometimes gets drowned out by Auctions and Global Chat. A limitation of a 2 minute cooldown (or more) would be sufficient to prevent spam of /shout (unless you pay the 1k). Existing /shout rules and spamming rules should be kept implemented within the system so people cannot exploit /shout.
    Other Information:
    I believe a Shoutout plugin/donation feature would be most beneficial to many players of ECC especially people having trouble advertising in a high peak hour situation and not enough money to /shout.

    Shouts are meant to be a money dump. Making them free would ruin the point of that. Also it would be annoying with several people constantly shouting

    Oh, and should not happen due to the nature of shouts, and their purpose.

    -1 shouts take money out of the economy, keeping inflation in check.

    No thanks. I like $1,000 gone everyone someone enjoys wasting money and this actually takes a real good amount of money out of the server which is important.

    What about if you get one free one every x- amount of minuets, but if you go over your x amount of shouts for that hour it starts taking the 1,000 out of your balance.

    You get one free shout every X(random number) amount of minuets. But after you run out of those amount of shouts that you would get per hour, then it would take the 1,000 out of your balance.

    Good idea because we need ways to bring in real money more than we need to remove fake money.

    This would be cool, but perhaps tweak the benefits. Such as 50% off, or only 25 free shouts.

    If it costs $50, they should get unlimited free shouts on a cooldown timer.

    Shouts are a great money sink. It's like saying you could donate for cheaper lotto tickets or something.

    It defeats the purpose of the system.
