I feel, especially within donor and sky god circles, that greenies are verbally abused and underestimated. The greenies get very, very little respect, and I feel that people need to be kinder to them. I ask you all to ask yourself: When you are called a greenie or compared to a greenie do you feel as if you are being payed a compliment, or teased and/or abused. Greenies are players, just like us, and just because they lack a coloured prefix DOES NOT mean that they are lesser or more inexperienced than us. I would ask if you see a greenie being abused or teased in the chat that you would stand up for them. I want to change the meaning of the word greenie and it's connotation and abolish the struct caste system that imprisons this server's community. At sky block.net, we have an incredible community, and we need to make sure that everyone is respected within it. Thank you, and please reply with your thoughts.
Agreed. All the time, I see people saying: "ANYONE WANT TO JOIN MY ISLAND (ONLY DONORS) and this gets me so mad. Even though I'm an overlord, I still respect greenies. They are human beings and they should be treated equally among everyone. I love talking with greenies, I like making them feel welcome, cause on org, everyone is the same. I don't go on net that often, but I hope they can notice greenies every once in a while. I was a green bean on net, I said hey in chat, NO ONE replied. I got donor10, said hi, and people started saying hey Survy, etc. I just don't get it
It's ashamed people are put into the stereotype of being a scammer, spammer, or unexperienced in general just because they don't have a rank. Just because people see more greenbeans doing things like spamming more than donors, doesn't mean that they should think all greenbeans are like that. For example take CJ_Plays_Games , he's a greenbean but he is an example on what most greenbeans represent; kind, hardworking, and respectful. And look what ended up happening to him, he got a staff position because of that. I try to help greenbeans as much as I can and I find they can be kind spirited just as much as donors can if not more. So, yes I agree with this.
I don't see greenies getting minimal respect, but if you think you're ignored, it's not exactly easy to read messages that aren't colored or stuff. They're not underestimated, you just have to prove yourself wrong. I personally don't discriminate and put myself in their shoes every time I help one, just thinking about how frustrating it would be to be ignored.
=P But You Greenys Could Try Asking Others Before trading me a diamond armour set for a spawner =p btw whens greeny day?
I'm honestly sick of people of complaining that non donors arent respected. If you really deserve it, you will eventually find someone to buy you donor or earn the diamonds to buy it yourself. You need to actually earn respect, which just might benefit you in the real world too
There are a couple of reasons why non donors are often discriminated against. Firstly non donors are most likely to commit server crimes such as scamming, looting and griefing. Why? Well they haven't paid anything to the server. They have nothing to lose. So donors lack trust. A lot of the time non donors make up most of the spam in chat. Mostly because they cannot be seen easy but their spam certainly can. Mainly not a lot of donors have patience for non donors who are new as well. It isn't their job to be nice to non donors and be patient. There is no pressure. It is a minecraft server after all. You play. But I think donors need to remember the only special thing they have is a rank. It doesn't change the fact that everyone is just a player on the server and are no more special than each other. Yes it may put some people in higher regard but it is by no means an indicator of status. A lot of the time donors cause more issues for the moderators than any other group. From my experience they are the ones who disrespect staff and commit high level offences. In other words yes I think sometimes people do not show enough respect to each other but nothing has to change because this is a game. If there is disrespect happening that is overly offensive, a moderator can handle it. That is all.
Yeah true Serveral Donors including me are dumb enough to do dumb things like getting banned for adverstising (accidently and stupidly) as happened to yours truly 2day
I completely disagree. It is NOT fair to discriminate and make assumptions about a player just because they did not pay money for a donor rank. Donor is not something that is "deserved" it is something bought because you are privileged. Remember this
I don't really see the difference of donors to greenies, just the apparences in chat. Donors are just people who donated to the server, not people who just in 1 second earn respect. If you "need" more respect, you have to earn it, just like every other person did. Possibly because most greenies just advertise things like skin comps rather than interacting with players? Although I know some greenies that are very loving, caring, fun, etc. It's based on what you do to your reputation or to yourself. If your known as a scammer, yeah I don't think you have a lot of trust nor respect, same goes for things such as greifing. If you're a nice greenie that interacts with a lot of people and have a good backround/reputation, I think more people would like to get to know you, and you'd probably have some respect. Everyone is human, that means everyone is meant to be respected, as I said though, it's based on what actions you layed upon yourself. You can't just ask for respect. You gotta earn it bud.
Yes, some people do treat greenies differently. I feel as that isn't fair but I don't think it needs a whole thread about it. I feel like being treated differently is ok to me as I am a greenies in the org server. I feel like I am perfectly fine (except I can't fly, do /wb and stuff like that). Sometimes, the lack of respect of greenies, as Krissy said, is just from the fact that many greenies have a reputation of scamming, unfortunately.
I am unsure of my relationship with all the non-donors on the server. There are some non-donors that you trust right away and there are some that you are very unsure of( the people who have horrible grammar,advertising,typing in caps,etc). I come to trust most people but there are some people you just can't trust. I respect the non-donors of the server and it's just hard to answer their questions with the chat moving so fast and all the other donors talking in the chat.
As others stated, greenies are harder to see with the amount of donors there are. Their color doesn't always stand out. I do have a friend who is a green bean. I try my best to notice all the greenies because they're friendly and fun to talk to. As Survy said, I dislike when donors only want donors on their island. Then again, Krissy stated why. It's not that we don't care about greenies, it's just that they're hard to trust and hard to notice.
Like once I messaged a donor for something and they told me to go away because I'm a non-donor and don't know anything, but chances are I've been here longer than them, know more people, and know the server better.
I just saw the first point about Greenies being verbally abused when I have been verbally abused more times by greenies than I can count. I guess it is true that people earn respect. However when there are already assumptions on non donors its hard to get that respect. And I tested my theory and became a mouthy little greenie who gave educated opinions and was treated as if what I was saying was rubbish because I was a greenie. But with that being said my point above still sticks. Nothing will change because people ask for respect. It will only change when people do, and that is difficult to have happen.
Everyone should be respected if they are respectful. Also I like the name greenies, when I was one I thought it was awesome. It doesn't mean inexperienced, but most greenies are new. The best part about greenies is teaching them about the server, especially when they enjoy it so much that they stay! ! Sent from my SM-G360T using Tapatalk
Greenies should be respected, but should not get as must trust as donors. Donors pay for perks, and to help the best server ever. If you pay that just shows everyone else you care. If your a greenie either you can't pay, or you don't care about the server, and you never really see donors scamming, it's usaully only greenies. You shouldn't be mean to greenies, but donors deserve more.
