"Donator" to "Donor"

[JulianMariano]

Sorry if this is being nitpicky but shouldn't donator on all of the ranks be donor? Dunno just crossed my mind.

I think this has been brought up before and they had a reason for it to be "Donator".

I was thinking it should be "Donor" a few weeks ago as well.

 

[Syed]

I agree it's an easy fix, and it's proper

Donor is more common, but donator is as acceptable form of the word as well. Rather than rewrite all the ranks, we decided it was fine.
