Buying Proto


Spoony Bard

620 views

I am noticing that there are members out there who seem put off with "buying" proto.

 

First, where do you get off and say that donating to a website to keep it running does not merit 2 proto points? That money, whatever amount you dish out, can go to anything else. A Lego set. A comic book. A video game. A meal at Fridays. A portion of your savings.

 

Members say it is the easiest way of gaining proto. It is not. Are you willing to part with 7 dollars? 11 dollars? How about 35 dollars?

 

Now sending in news. That is the easiest way of earning proto. I received proto just for spotting out an article in a magazine, and yet members aren't saying that is wrong. However sending in your money that you earned for mowing the lawn, and the first thing you want to spend it on is a site so it stays running. It is like donating to the people who ring the bells at Macys. Whether it be a penny or 100 dollars, it is still something that goes to something bigger, and your charity is always rewarded with karma. And what is proto? Karma.

Pffft. People take the proto thing too seriously.

But yeah, definitely concurred. Premier members do more for keeping the site running at all than people who expect to be rewarded because they haunt Q&A and are sort of condescending.

-1 for something that happened.

0 for earning that back.

+1 for some reports in the Artwork forum.

+2 for sending in (with Janus) a full list of reports to Mahalis (when he was staff), which helped him take a week off for so many reports.

+1 for helping report a spammer in 03.

+1 for something.

+1 for more reporting.

OBZPship.

-1 for something

Normalship.

+1 back to OBZPC.

 

I had fun with my proto bar.

 

But why would anybody want to argue over premiership? It's like, "Oh, you're buying your own OBZPCship..."

 

I do agree some members who are OBZPC did buy themselves to it, but that's not a huge issue. They have the cash? Let BZP enjoy it. -Swert

Well, all I can say is that I don't like the fact of 'buying yourself into OBZPCship'. I mean, I think you deserve something for donating money, but why can't it be like in the old days? +1 for Six month, +2 for one year, +3 for life time [at least, I think it was like that]. That's how I'd like it.

 

But, whatever.
