That is Idiotic. Admins and mods should strictly follow outsiders rules unless otherwise stated. Outsider stated in
You must login or register to view this content. that premium is at least $10. If mods give anyone premium without following the rules unless otherwise said by outsider,then they should not be doing that and be warned/give whatever consequences are appropriate. Vbux shows no loyalty to the site whatsoever. Some random person could come up here wanting to get rid of an Itunes card that he/she probably would never use, and then get prem with it.
Premium should be a way of showing you care about the site and its development, not giving Vbux to a mod which you sold an Itunes card to, just to make you prem, which doesn't help the site whatsoever. Which was in fact the whole reason of Premium. So people would donate $ to help the site
If you disagree, well you do not understand the sole purpose of donating.
Even giving someone a $10 itunes card to someone to buy you premium isn't right. That person doesn't deserve premium because he/she didn't send the money themselves. They didn't pay for premium, they just gave a out a $10 itunes card. That is just my point of view.
It's like paying someone to do a job for you, and you get the credit and bonuses. Now who actually deserves the credit?
Q) "Sure, but what's the difference between them just giving you $10 dollars for the Itunes card and you pay for it yourself? What about that?"
---------------------------
A) Good question, and that is actually the right thing to do. If someone chooses to give you the full $10 for your $10 itunes card, then you should be able to spend it the way you want to. As long as you do it yourself. That's all I'm saying.
