I don't think a VIP status would be appropriate based on that recognition was made for donations which he isn't one. Maybe he need more acknowledgment from DT members as he has earned the trust of the communication (he needs more green on his profile) and also theymos can make a customized badge just for his profile something that'll make him standout the guy is truly a hero and a good samaritan. Maybe more merit to highlight his post would be great too.
