You have already expressed enough concerns for the negative aspects. There's a question why you'd want to go forward?

Recognizing supporters is okay. Look to this forum for examples, but those examples are recognition of work, not spending.

If buying product is something desired then reward that sector with a members only forum... gives them recognition for their above effort and does not negate the no purchasers for failing to purchase.

But tagging folks with a logo that says I bought and you didn't... might not have the effect desired.
