The donators have to wait in the exact same white listing lobby as everyone else, I can personally confirm this. They get processed at the same time too. There is no special white listing process for people who donated. Please be positive about something before you go and lie in order to convert more people to your side of the argument. The reason it takes so long to get white listed is because the admins are too lazy and they don't have enough staff dedicated to white listing at the moment. Not to mention that there are currently only 3 servers, all of which wouldn't be able to hold EVERYONE.
While I am opposed to the staff's failure to credit those who are due credit, I do not agree with the responses from either parties. It's a mod for a video game, just give the modders credit and that's the end of it. Donators donate donations because they want to support the mod. The only perk you get as a donator is a nice little tag that says donator. From what I have seen, you don't even get special treatment from officers or admins.
