| Ath... I think you might be getting something mixed up here..... A donation is not a tax..... a tax is forced, a donation is by your choice.... you chose to donate money.... the agreement was right there in front of you when you did it.... all you get is a badge on your name and the ability to post in these forums a bit longer, until they run out of money and shut down.
If you don't feel you are getting enough bang for your buck in this forum, then just stop donating..... nobody is forcing you to.
If you donate blood, what do you expect in return? You get some cookies and a pat on the back.... you don't get a say in who get's your blood or how they use it..... same thing here.
Now if you were paying in shares for this web site, that would be a different situation.
As it goes for taxes in the government.... yeah.. that's Fubar.
As it is now in our society, we pay taxes not to have a say in what our government does, we pay taxes so we don't goto jail.
Ath, you have to realize that Volconvo is just like every other online forum... at least all the other forums I have been to in the last decade. They all have similar rules and regulations, and the mods are all pretty much the same as in here, if not worse. I have seen forums where the mods were no better then some of the members..... they would ban for the sake of banning, because they couldn't bother with warnings.
Bottom line I am saying, is this is developed and run by the moderators here, and they can do whatever they deem fit to do.... If you do not agree with them, then you can go and make your own forum in your own image..... much like how when I design my own web site, I make it the way I want to and how I want it to look like. Those who view it, can see my art, can post comments, but they don't have any rights to change things in my site, even if they paid me.
