How do I buy a star for a friend?

[PearliePoo2]

Is it possible ?

1. Stars can not be bought for others, only your own account. n/t

2. When did that change?

I am pretty sure someone could buy for another user in the past.

4. See Comment #3 below. n/t

6. Thanks.

But I still think users could buy for other users in the past.

8. Yes, 'in the past', not sure which year the rule changed. n/t

[bigwillq]

9. Yes! I am not insane then!

LOL

I knew other users could buy in the past. I thought I was going crazy for a moment.




Thanks for your help.

3. Below is a comment from Skinner regarding stars...

1. We do not do gift memberships anymore.

The reason is because jury service is calculated, in part, based on whether someone is a subscriber. If someone is going to earn that bonus, they need to support DU themselves.

5. Not to complain, but isn't it undemocratic to kind of buy jury duty?

Even in our corporate run fascist phase this country is going through right now, we still are paid for jury duty in the real world, not the other way around. But the ADs know what they want. So be it.

Put a note in with the user name.
