That it is. Shoot, I'll cross post it here then.
I saw bmah's post in the suggestion thread and figured I would give this another try. Here is what he posted, and what I really agree with.

Current Vet Perks (if you can think of more, tell us what they are):
Early song release, beta level reader, credit transaction history, view others' levelranks, the veteran forum, top average players list, blue name, 25 max for PM's, token levelranks (was this changed?).
Early Song Releases note:
While we like the idea, we agree on this point that bmah made:

Not to mention this tends to decrease the talk and feedback about a particular song. As a simfile artist, I really appreciate people talking back and forth about the songs they get to play every week.

What should be moved to non-vet:
PM limit.

Token levelranks.

What should be moved to vet (if any):
???
Is there anything we can add in to make becoming a vet something that makes it worth it? What could we do to get it back to where people actually wanted to get Vet status?
Current Suggestions:
Higher limit for saving replays. I thought this was the plan originally, but I think it got shelved for the time being.
New Vet tokens? I'm sure people have plenty of ideas for requirements.
My bad.
