I think we've all been inactive for a month, two, or a few more at least once in the years we spent on osu, so I think this one is pretty self-explanatory.
If somebody wants to gift you supporter, be that because you're a popular streamer, you made a map they enjoy or you're simply just their friend, please let people decide whether they want the transaction/supporter status to go through or not;

that'd help us avoid the nagging feeling of "I/my friend spent money on this, and I'm not even using it fml" in the back of our minds, and generally having the choice on whether or not we want somebody to spend money on us right now, specifically if we're not going to utilize it, is a nice thing.


Just for a more applicable example, I have had multiple people gift me months of osu!supporter throughout the years, specifically post 2012, when I stopped playing actively and started focusing on mapping - it really sucks when you then talk to those people after they PM you about it, just to find out that they're not well-off financially but wanted to do you some good, only to discover that you will never make use of the money.

Specifically as a known personality, events like these stacking up can really make you feel uneasy about how frequently it happens, so yeah, that's my personal background to why this feature request came to be.

i would support this with my star, IF I HAD ANY

anyway this would be really good to have. A textbook example would be HappyStick, since the community locked him here with supporter tag till 2020 something.
How about adding a refund if said supporter tag gets rejected?

give the gifter possibility to either refund, regift or add it to their own account.

Refund might mess up PaySafeCard purchases tho

Take my stars!

I like this idea. Making it similar to gifting on Steam.

I guess the notification would need to go through before the card is charged, then?
Alternatively, a refund could restore you X amount of osu! store credit, so that should be able to be worked around.

I have a feeling peppy would reject this despite this being a proposal to make supporter purchases fair.

This does make sense and is understandable
However, there IS this t/313437 although it may have got denied for a different reason

Maybe if the gift is denied or haven't received any reponse (Accept/Deny) in 1 week then return the gift to the gifter?

Well yeah, that's the idea - either give them back the money, or in case of a one-charge payment i.e. paysafe, charge them only after the gift was accepted/give them store credit/support to gift to someone or take themselves for free as a compensation.

ok, but it's silly to waste the money of people because of inactivity too



That could be something in forum options like "[ ] Deny supporter gifts" and when it's activated people simply cannot choose you to pay the supporter

So.. I suppose this'll fly under the radar, then.

I agree with this

You know what would be even better? The ability to have supporter tags stocked on your account, and enable them or gift them to others when you want to, then if they deny it, it would return to the person's inventory , or something, idk xD That way everyone is happy It's a win-win situation
Idk how to explain it better...

I don't agree with this. It's pretty obvious how active someone is by looking at the profile. If they still want to gift despite that, it's their own choice.

I'd argue if you actually want to do somebody good, instead of just gratifying yourself by spending money "on someone else in some shape or form that may or may not be of use to them", they should have a say in it aswell.
I don't see how it's a bad thing to let people decide whether they want $4 worth of a virtual tag on a game they barely even log on to or not. There is literally no harm done, except in the worst case, some incredibly mentally unstable person's feelings because "oh no my idol refused my supporter tag :( "

Activity or inactivity aside, many people just don't see any benefits in the supporter tag. They should get the option to decline.
I agree with this option to have.

I was about to write the same thing until i saw your comment. I totally agree with this. Everyone should have kind of an "inventory" on their Osu!Profile saying how many "Supporter Tags" the user has stored. From there, he could decide to either gift them to a user or add the support to his own account.
Anyways, I dont think that this will get implemented, but it actually seems to be a good idea for the future. It would be like an add-on to the original "Ability to deny osu!supporter gifts" thingy.

Oh, and i agree with the original post btw, here, have my star.

in rare cases osu supporter tag causes your game to lag
apparently. according to a friend of mine

also, i think that some people have to go on hiatus occassionally and would rather NOT have a support tag

Yeah, for some people it's really odd when osu!direct tries to open songs in-client and they can't go to the website because of shit (mobile) internet, so yeah, I heard about that - actual PC performance concerns I don't see coming up, unless one's PC has incredibly low RAM and all, but still, it might happen for some.

As for people who go on hiatus/play on and off/aren't persistently active: just take Bikko as a prime example - he comes online like once or twice a month, people like him have literally zero use for the service.
