Gideon's suggestions for an even better server

[Sword of Gideon]

6 no. admins are admins, and should not get any form of special anything for being such. we want admins that love the servers/community, not people who buy it for their own personal gain... people who buy admin so they can benefit themselfs ALWAYS end up being a serious problem. we want admins who buy it cause they love and care for this community, not cause they want special privs. this would also be a serious disrespect 2 thos who have been admins of this community for multiple years, nor can we afford 2 drop the admin price 2 all existing admins...

I think you misunderstood this particular point. I meant that it would be neat to see admins rewarding other people for doing good things for the server, and that it would be cool if there was a system for rewards instead of just for punishment.

7 people come and people go. we go through admins constantly... and our community is unique cause we allow any one 2 be a admin provided they have the cash, we do this cause we have enough skilled staff/clan/current admins who will keep them in line, and report any bull shit new admins pull. people on welfare can afford 11 dollars a month lol... there is no reason for people 2 claim it's 2 much money, or anything... also if you really want IBIS 2 prosper, and you want 2 support it, why haven't you bought admin yourself?

I've alluded to the fact that I do want admin. My problem is the $11. I think that society today is getting nickel'ed and dimed for everything nowadays. I mean, you could even break it down to say the admin cost 35c a day!!! But the reality to me is that if I enjoyed admin then I might be on for a year. THat would be over $130. What could I buy for $130? 2, maybe 3 video games. I've already purchased Orange Box, so I don't see why I should have to pay more for the game. So for me, it's just a different point of view I have about the economics of charging for admin. So I've been trying to see if there was a way to get in for less. If by helping others who are new, trying to maintain civility, and promoting by example that good kind of behavior which was healthy for the server, that perhaps I could get a discount that would make me feel better about the $132 a year price tag.

Still, I think that this server has been very fair to me and my friend's list just exploded from enjoying the server. So I've been thinking about it. Anyway, you asked and this is where I'm coming from.

Some quick suggestions:
1. Hide under a rock for about 1 month
2. Grow a beard and change your name
3. let this lulz pass over like the storm it is and hopefully you can come out alive.

I don't think your advice is good, and I don't think the way it was presented was useful.
The purpose of my letter was to help the server. I've learned that there are many things going on behind the scenes which I didn't know about and which will make this server better, and for me that is valuable information. I've also got people talking about things, and yeah maybe nothing will change; but maybe something will. At least people are talking. And when I don't agree with someone's response, I don't get all bitchy about it. I just accept the fact that we disagree. So I think that this is a valid topic with good conversation.
