Too be honest, the fact he has VIP for a reason some of you deem 'unfair' honestly isn't his problem. There's nothing he can do about it, and while he could ask to have it removed, I highly doubt any of you would, should you be out in a similar position.
The root of his rank is Chad. Chad gave him the rank, Chad chose to give him the rank, and Chad is the reason he has the rank. It wasn't his choice, so calling him names, etc. on the thread is honestly ridiculous. He didn't join TeamSpeak and just say "Time for my VIP!".
On the whole "why does he get VIP, but moderators don't" that's honestly a whole 'nother story. As far as I know, quite a bit of thought went into which ex-moderators were to receive platinum. While many of my friends did not receive said rank, it's important to keep in mind that the people deciding who was to receive platinum saw a lot more than we did, and could decide with a better judgement than most of us who only saw a select few actions, and may be biased based on friendships, etc.
Something else I saw brought up is the ''moderators who won MCGamer awards and didn't get anything". Keep in mind, the MCGamer awards is 80% a popularity contest. I am by no means trying to discredit winners, as it was well deserved for everyone, but once again, the higher-up staff have the ability to view the actions made, and I'm sure they did just that.
For all we know, this is simply a temporary replacement for Levi, until they work out a new 'friend rank' system.
In the end, it's his rank. Everyone is allowed an opinion on whether or not having said rank is just, and obviously it's great to have a discussion, but remember that the discussion is about him having the rank, not him. Also, don't forget, he isn't the only one with this rank for this reason- he's just the only one who has made a thread thus far.
