			== Current status ==
			The main perk is effectively moot: [[SomeBois]] '''turned the site CAPTCHA off entirely''' after users complained about it (posts-per-hour jumped once it was gone). With no CAPTCHA for anyone, a Pass currently just gets you the icon.

			As of the site's first two weeks, per SomeBois, '''no one had bought a Pass'''. SomeBois describes it as really a donation with a cosmetic perk attached and has floated relabelling it as a "donation" outright to head off the complaints it draws from other imageboards.
