I like fingolfin’s idea of buying moderatorship with 300 gold coins.

and administrator-like powers! *drool*

can you even imagien tOO with administrator like powers? are you people insane!

Boy would that! Some things I think need to be clarified:
1 - Cobra Cards is a card-selling site, so that’s how it sustains itself. If Cobra start awarding sotre-credit for posts (ok, for gp, but essentially, it’s the same), he’d go out of business and we would lose these nice Forums. I think he is more than enough kind in awarding a U$ 70.00 pool MONTHLY for Article Contest winners;
2 - Moderators are here to help keep things running smoothly, so they HAVE a lot of work to do, like find glitches, check posts to see if they’re offensive, heck, even reading Riddle-Game posts to see if that’s too much information. So, this means, moderatorship is not a status, or something to show-off;
3 - Administrator-like powers? WTH is wrong with you?!? Do you even IMAGINE how much trouble Conor must go through to keep things up and running ’round here? If moderatorship is not a status, administratorship sure as hell isn’t, too!
Oh, but I DO like the medal things... We could have a link, somewhere below our names, that would link to an "Award Gallery", where we could buy some medals (so, instead of piling up gp to show off, we could simply buy very expensive medals, and also, they couldn’t be pickpocketed), and we could also get Medals/Trophies for winning contests, be it Article Contests, be it DC Contests, Signature Contests, Deck Contests, or whatever.
