[The Dutch Problem]

Then you can say the same about Donators really, I mean you pay money to the server so now you're entitled to getting something. Thats not Donating, thats BUYING. There is a diffrence wich is something I'm certain I shouldn't stress out. Now, I will explain why I came to my previous "Lesser" statement.

I was a Moderator, something I apparently still am on the site cuz... reasons, I got there without paying a dime. I got there with applications alone. People who buy themselves into staff already tend to get a bit less respect from me due to, "haha, I heff munnies fuk u ell i skiep renks" (I get that people buy this with the best of intentions, I really do, but I can't help myself). To present the idea that somehow after getting there, over half a year of active staffing, getting moderator, that I am apparently worth less then the person who skipped 2 applications... It tackles your pride. Hence I react to that getting the idea you're of the opinion I am lesser then a Donator Tmod who got ranked up.

I believe that once you're a Moderator, its simple. You are a Moderator, no cuts, no ties, no diffrences. Why? Simple, you've achieved the level where you're one of the most trustworthy induviduals on the server, so simply why not throw in a neat bonus for them.

Also I'd like to point out I no longer am part of the Moderator team. So, I dont care about what I get as a Moderator, because it wont affect me at all. I am now a Donator (Even though I've yet to pay a dime to Dinks) due to 2 years of active staffing under my belt. I am entitled, I wont deny it, but at the same time just because you have money, doesnt mean I should treat you like anything more or less then a man that has less money. I feel the same way works with being donor-staff or non-donor-staff. They're staff, who cares if they paid for it. I may have my own prejudges of donor-staff, but that doesnt mean that they should be given any other treatment then non-donor-staff.

And before you point out my hypocracy, "I have less respect for Donor-Staff" - "Just because you have money, I shouldnt have to treat you anything more then a person who's got less." I am aware of this, I know this may invalidate my point a little bit. But this is simply me being Human. Imperfect hypocrites that will fight for what they believe is right, under their right of Freedom of Speech.

Response to the Edit below: I feel those go hand-in-hand in a way, shitposts are posts you disagree with fundamentally, I see the reputation system as a system of giving people you agree with or support a backing +1 without having to comment it.
