What name do you use for members who donate?

Mine have a “T3G Supporter” badge. But that and “T3G Donor” are meh. Anyone use something spicier?

I just have membership names related to my sites.

Well, the board is called Wondercafe2 so we call them WonderPatrons. I don't give them a badge or anything. In fact, about half of them asked to be anonymous. I just have a page node that explains what patronage is and then lists the usernames (with links to their profiles) of the ones who were okay being acknowledged followed by "and x donors who wished to remain anonymous".

That’s a good system. The term patron is decent too.

Supporter sounds athletic and donor sounds medical.

With all the talk about crowd-funding, and in particular Patreon, I just decided it was a good term to use.

Not sure if benefactor would sound too unusual.

Exactly! That’s why I want to switch.

While that does make sense, Patreon, unfortunately, brings a NSFW vibe to mind, if you know what I mean.

Not for me. I follow a lot of artists and content creators on Youtube who use it for their supporters. Nothing NSFW about them (mostly musicians and science educators).
