I seem to recall somewhere in the past the devs trying to figure out a legitimate, while not game-breaking, reward for being a patron of EE.
I don't know if it's been brought up before, but what about an auto-bonus? Meaning, you receive your bonus points as soon as their respective timers have run their course.
You could also add in some form of stipulation (although I'd guess this would likely be a much larger pain in the ass to code) where you must vote on those respective websites within X time period to continue accumulating auto-points. The problem I see is as time moves on and your auto-bonus timer and voting timers start getting farther and farther apart. Shrug.
Have any of the devs considered this as a way for us to help out? I feel it'd be rather popular, without being drastically overpowered. As it is, I typically vote within about 2 hours from the timer being up... For argument's sake, consider all 3 sites 24-hour timers, and I vote every 26. That'd be approximatley 15 more votes(or ~40 points) than I'd be able to do manually.
That probably doesn't make any sense to anyone, but it's been lingering in my mind for a few sets now (and especially so since the bonus system revamp), and figured you guys could hash it out.
