You know the RSBANDB Donor rank?

It still says "Donator", and you can see above.
Can it be changed to "Donor", so it will be consistent and so my OCD self can shut up?

I swear having this debate before somewhere... The rationale behind using 'donor' was because when you donate blood, you're not a blood doantor, You're a blood donor.

Some grammar nazi come in here and tell us what's right.

Yeah but you aren't donating rsbandb to us either. The rank should have actually been called something along the lines of site contributor. Either way, we have to fix the title of the group or the rank image.

You helped pay for the site, that is still contributing.

We were going to add a rank in the future for people who contributed lots of content to the site, and the two should be distinguished. I'm not sure if that one will happen or not, but the titles would need to be different.

Lol, I was the person who pointed out the typo in the beginning when the rank was "RSBANDB Donater". Donator is a pretty..awkward sounding word though. Donor is perfectly grammatically acceptable to use.

That's the way I thought of it too. We're not donating RSBANDB to RSBANDB. :P On the other hand.. the definition of 'donor' is just "a person who gives or donates".

Exactly. Blood Donor means you give blood, therefore Rsbandb Donor means you give Rsbandb.

I think donator or supporter are right.

Funds Donor or Just Donor/Donator. I think contributer would work better as that content submitter rank. I don't see it as much of a problem though. XD

Alright guys, if there will be any change to the donor rank, It will be donor, supporter, contributor, or whatever. I have contributor and donor up as images. Nothing with the rank has bothered me, but if there will be change, to my English standards, Donator and Donor works.

Thanks Kirby, we'll stick with rsbandb donor.

It sounds better than the alternatives.
