give them the rank, but do not give them 5 coins under their name, access to donator forum, etc. the way the donator status does now. They are not really donating anything
The biggest topic of conversation in the Donators section over the last year or so is why nobody posts in the Donators section. Letting more Donators in would be a positive in my opinion. Their coins would be just as much a donation as anyone else's.
