[Appeal] Options to Increase Custom Server Emoji Slots

I feel like the current system in place with boosting to increase the server limitation on emojis should be improved and I want to address some ideas to make this system better. At present each server starts with a 50 custom emoji limit and a 50 custom animated emoji limit, which can both be increased by 50 by boosting the server to the next tier. In our server, we are a tier 2 boosted server and the 150 emoji limit is just too small. Additionally, not that many people have Nitro so the animated emojis we have go largely unused. We have over 100 slots available for animated emojis and just a few left for the regular emojis.

1. Allow servers to purchase additional emoji slots. Our server does not need all the features from a tier 3 server and we're not a big enough server to get boosted to tier 3 anyway. If you do this, please make this affordable and not a monthly thing that needs to be repurchased all the time. The cost of bandwidth for increased emojis can't possibly be that bad. At the very least, have each individual boost increase emoji limits +10 as a small perk so there is more incentive for people to boost a server. Currently, all boosts in between tier levels are a waste of money unless others also chip in to get to the next tier level.

2. Merge the emoji and animated emoji limit pools together. Why separate the limit? Instead of 50/50, make it 100 altogether. Put a limit only on the animated emojis if bandwidth is a serious concern. So if a server wants to use their animated emoji slots to add more regular emoji slots for everyone to use, let them.

3. Allow non-Nitro users to use animated emojis in boosted servers. What's the point of having the extra animated emoji slots with a boosted server when hardly any members can even use them? Our server has about 50 animated emojis, but they only get used by the few people that have boosted the server. Part of the problem is Nitro adoption rates are low because it's not affordable for many people. If bandwidth is a concern, place a daily/weekly limit on non-Nitro individuals. You have already implemented a similar feature with limitations on Super Reactions. If people get a taste of using animated emojis, who knows, maybe that could help incentivize them to get Nitro and remove the limit.
