    Something's name says literally nothing about it. Put a "juice" label on a bottle of water, does that make it juice? With all due respect, all these staff arguments are just "end of story, it's called this".
    It is indeed 1 A.M. for me. :/

    Go ahead and take the perks so people simply "donate" their money. They won't do it as much. People do it for the ranks, because people are usually smart enough not to just drop money down the drain.

    That's a pretty dumb and ignorant explanation. The page is called "donate", but are you actually donating? Or you are you buying a rank. You're pretty ignorant on this topic, and you didn't even provide evidence of why you claim your side. My evidence are the comments above, and Bolthur's discussion thread. Just saying, so you don't turn my words on me.

    The page doesn't have to be called donation, therefore it doesn't have to be called a donation.
    Leagl definition of purchase: "To buy; the transfer of property from one person to another by an agreement. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, taking by sale, discount, negotiation, mortgage, pledge, lien, issue, reissue, gift or any voluntary transaction." -West's Encylopedia of American Law, 2nd Edition.
    Definition of donation: "1. The act of giving to a fund or cause. 2. A gift or grant." -American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language.

    Face it, it's buying, not donating.

    Denied, this is all worked wonderfully for the past 3 years, there is little need to change it now. If you're uncomfortable with the wording, then the choice is yours to make whether you donate or not.

    Moving back to suggestions, as this is indeed a suggestion and not a discussion thread.

    As for the topic at hand, I don't understand why the name bothers people so much. Does it actually matter? Really?
