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 can concede that, while we have fundamentally different opinions on the concept of a thankless job, that your reasoning for wanting yourself and/or others to have this is well founded in the basis of frustration of those who paid their way to the top.
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.
I still keep my reservations, but I see yours as valid as well.
Additionally, I applaud your self-awareness of your own personal biases and how you incorporated it into a rational opinion.
Honestly your response is the first one to actually have a train of thought that didn’t de-rail into fallacious logic or self-praise in place of reason.
I guess now your point opens up the whole “pay for powers” can of worms, but I digress.
EDIT: Just read your edit, @King Tiger Ace Fasda22 .
I thought -rep was for irrelevant posts or shitposting, not for stuff people disagree with?
