New Donation Ideas

After my 3rd or 4th time donated, I have been really bummed when my rank expires, and how I have to go buy a new one, which sometimes I just don’t have the time for.
So here is what I was thinking:
MCSG could allow some new donor purchases that will allow a user to be a donator for not just one month, but perhaps 2 months, 6 months, or even a year.

Examples:

IRON
1 Month: $10​
2 Months: $20​
6 Months: $60​
1 Year: $120​
GOLD
1 Month: $25​
2 Months: $50​
6 Months: $150​
DIAMOND
1 Month: $50​
2 Months: $100​
6 Months: $300​
1 Year: $600​
Just remember that these are just examples. I can find it hard to believe that someone would pay $600 for a donation, although it would be nice.​
Another idea I have is privileges for donators, because, if you think about it, all donation classes are pretty much the same, apart for more votes and bounty boost.​
So I was thinking about each donation class getting some privileges that normal players or lower-class donators don’t get.​
Finally, I was thinking that we could color nameplates. In case you don’t know, nameplates are the plates that display your name above your head on multiplayer. I have seen on other servers players with nameplates for a reason. In a Capture the Flag server I play on, your nameplate tells you if you are on red or blue. So each rank on MCSG also has a nameplate perhaps. Irons could get a shade of gray, Gold gets gold, etc. VIPs, moderators, and admins can also get this feature.​

To me, I find this to be a tad unnecessary, heres why

One: Every donation is per monthly, and it keeps a standard. It would only be helpful in cases where people KNOW that they will be here for a while, so it is set to auto refil. Aka Donor rank x # Of months = Price
Two: Should they leave, or God Forbid MCSG get shut down, should they have paid for a year, they can demand their money back, leaving Chad in debt.
Three: It would be a great deal more complicated for the website, as well as game to remember who paid for what amount of months, and there would be alot of mix ups with not getting the right amount of time.
Four: As far as I know, the ranks for donators get seperate votes as the rank goes higher...
aka Player = 1
Iron/Moderator = 2
Gold = 3
Diamond = 6.
Correct me if im wrong.
Also, it was stated in the past, that they have more planned donor features to come... Which has not yet come to fruition.

As for the nameplates, it would be easier to see through walls, giving regular players an advantage, and putting the donators at a disadvantage. As well as it would be more costly on power for the servers themselves.

I'm pretty sure diamond is 4, unless it is changed

Makes sense. I was thinking that it would be a good idea for people who were to just stick to MCSG.
