I mean, I understand why badged members get mod privileges, custom user titles, nicer avatars, better sigs, and stuff. They deserve it for working hard, and keeping the site alive. It also motivates others to work hard on the site to get a reward.
However, I just don't see the point why I cannot Luvdisc a thread. =\
It just seems like they are implying "only the badged members matter." And the rest of us are too unintelligent to know what a good thread is. Jesus christ. -_-
