That's a stupid explanation. If staff didn't exist, there would be no server for Dink to run. Staff members give their time and energy to keeping this server running smoothly and they should get something for their troubles. I'm not sure if extra health should even be something on the server, but regardless, if donors are able to have it, so should all staff members.

Staff members are very important. You, sir, are mistaken if you think otherwise or if you believe the owner thinks otherwise.

1. believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
   "his pompous, entitled attitude"
   

You don't "deserve" shit. You volunteered to be in a position of power and responsibility, it wasn't demanded.

It's like volunteering for a soup kitchen and then asking to be paid at the end of the day because cooks in other kitchens get paid.
Saying all mods deserve the bonus because they are mods is a bit of a fallacy, as nothing in being a mod explicitly  states you will receive reward for doing your job, and therefore anything beyond that is entitlement. This thread is a circle-jerk of "give me privileges for doing a job I signed up for."

Once again, I feel the need to reiterate that I agree that the people who bought donor and are mods should get it, but not mods who aren't donors.
