This is the third revision of this idea
Ever found an unpopular place, and thought, "this belongs on the front page" I know I have, and now there’s a way to DONATE. Not to the player himself, but to a fund set aside for running ads on a place.
How would I find all these new places? Well there should be a new tab in games, “new”. It would show all the new games, by creation date, Newest to oldest. You could browse around there looking for games you think would be a hit.
Say you find a new place, with AMAZING scripting, gameplay, and it's a generally good game. You have the option to donate anywhere up to 5000tix, MAYBE robux, to go toward running ads, with a 10% donation fee of course. You get 5% back, up to twice the amount you donated. Another feature would be to prevent people from donating to games already on the front page. If a place has over 5,000 visits (number can be adjusted) you can no longer donate to it.
But what if there's someone I don’t want donating to me? Well, all donations would have to be approved by the place owner, therefore solving that problem, and stopping people from giving stupid donations, such as 1 tix. This could also prevent many cases of alt abuse, because the owner can deny alts. But as soon as the owner clicks accept, it’s a done deal. In version 1 and 2 of this idea, it was pointed out that alt abuse would be a problem. But I think I’ve thought of a way to prevent this! How? You may ask. Well its simple, your account has to be over 30 days old to donate. This will remove the problem of brand new alts immediately donating to their main’s place. As for the older alts, that’s just a problem that will have to remain until someone thinks of some way to stop them. But what if my place gets really popular? And then I want to reset it an start over? Simple, have TWO different reset buttons. 1. This reset button will reset the map to one of the default templates, which we already have. 2. This is the NEW reset button. It resets your place visit count, so if you make a new place, you can start completely fresh.
Situation A: the place gets popular, gets a lot of visits, etc. and you donated 10 tix. For every 100 tix the place brings in, you get a 5% return. So you get 5 tix for every 100 visits, until the debt of 20 tix is paid off to you, after the debit is paid off, you no longer receive money from the place’s income.
Situation B: the place flops. No one visits it, it’s absolutely hopeless. You can pull whatever tix wasn't used of your donation out, because most of it was probably used toward running ads.
Example ====== Whatevs44 makes an AWESOME place, but has no money to run ads. I can’t build/script worth a penny, but have plenty of money. I donate 500 tix to whatevs44's ad revenue. Whatevs44 uses my 500 tix to run ads, and his place gets on the first page. For every 100 visits he gets, I get 5 tix, a fair 5% return. When I get 1000tix back (double the amount I donated) I no longer receive money from whatevs44's place visits.
Pros. Would help new builders and investors with good building skills, and an eye for good investments, get a good start. Teach kids how to handle their money (a needed skill these days) An alternate way of making money, for EVERYONE, not just BC. Another way of investing, other than limited items.
Cons. Possible alt abuse, but not as extreme as it was. People crying about bad investments they made.(they’re fault.) Inbox spam for donations. (Settings) Comment spam for donations. (Can be ignored, or a new anti-spam system can be added such as this-http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=73429194)

There, I changed it back :D Btw, what if a place has EXACTLY 5K visits? Would you be able to invest, or would 4,999 be the maximum? |

It's not TO alt abuseable, since (unless alt has BC) alts only get 10 tix a day.
