So a request has been made within the ranks of the website's staff team. However obviously we don't want to make a decision by ourselves because that would be conflict of interest. Thus we are reaching out to you, our member base, to see what your opinions are. And a judgment will be made in compliance to what you loves think are fair. And I promise, as your admin, the poll is anonymous. I've turned off the code that allows anyone, including myself, to see who voted for what. And it will remain that way. However, where I cannot see who voted for what I can see what accounts voted in general. With this in mind, each member is allowed one vote. Not one vote per character account.
Staff Note: You (the staff) are not allowed to participate in this poll at this time. Yes, you are members of inertia as well but we are also many in number and the subject of this poll. You will not vote at this time. You will not pester members for what their vote was. This goes without saying but I will take serious disciplinary measures against my own staffers if need be.
EDIT 02/12/2017: You must be an active member to take this poll please. I didn't think this had to be said but it does. If you have been inactive long enough for your playable characters to have been archived (months worth of time with no ic posts), please do not take part in our membership poll. This is to get a read from those who would be active on the site and thus "have a stake in the outcome".
Deities are meant to be plot devices, not characters. Theoretically, being a plot device allows these god accounts to be sought after for more plots and threads than any other type of character. Thus possibly allowing these accounts to obtain quicker sums of money. This also goes for DM/Spirit posts. DM's are guaranteed the ability to post in events, even if they're closed. So I do not believe this is fair.
YES $1-$3 PER POST.
Deities are plot devices but they are also characters. Because there's the theoretical concern of obtaining more plotting/posting opportunities than any other type of character I believe they should be allowed some financial appreciation but perhaps cut it back a bit. Same goes for DM/Spirit posts.
YES $5 PER POST.
Deities are plot devices and characters equally. Alot of time and energy goes into helping other members along with their plots and these efforts should be rewarded the same amount of money as any other type of post since the 250+ word count is still met. Same can be said for DM/Spirit posts.

Subject: Should staff be allowed to make ic money off of Deity posts and DM posts?
Possible arguments for each opinion.
