I wonder, there was a rumour about someone buying plat perks and got blacklisted soon after then.
Ripoff much?
I'm almost more likely to ban someone who has donated and acts like an outright douchebag because they create the impression to other players that donating will get you some kind of immunity on the server.
When you donate to the server, you are not making a purchase. You are voluntarily choosing to help Tezuni pay for the server costs, and Tezuni voluntarily gives you some rewards.
If somebody did get blacklisted after they donated, it's probably because they decided to use their donation status as some kind of personal license to forget with other people, and they got banned for being repeatedly disruptive.
Maybe Im missing something here about the whole gamemode thing, but from what I got from it all, Tezuni is charging money for something that isnt even his own work (?)
He isn't charging any money because there is no exchange of money and product going on here.
