Ok, lets be honest, if someone donated a good amount of money that WOULD curry some favorable status and exemption from rules. $ is king, amen.

I also believe that people without skills in subbing, photoshop, etc. can make great contributions to the forums. I personally try to (and you all probably know this from reading my posts) point out the details and inconsistencies in a show while trying to look at its choreography, music, sequencing and other technical aspects. I also try to have a good discussion about shows, even when my opinion conflicts with others, that creates further discussion and is not bone-headed You're Wrong, I'm Right arguing.

I also feel that people who post links to new releases, provide info on fansubbing groups' speed, quality, current status etc. and talk about new shows, old shows that many people aren't aware of or other underappreciated anime are helping the GW community.

Nobody is above the rules. I am not an admin, but I believe even they should obey the rules if they want us to do the same.
