Master Donator
Overview
The Master Donator award is given to members who donate a total of $500 USD to the site. It does not have to be in a single donation and can be compromised of the other donator awards, such as the Emerald Donator, Rich Bitch, formerly the LR Head, and, to an extent, the Bitcoinage award.

Master Donator and other awards
When people finally reach the level of Master Donator on the site, they are generally (not always) given another award as a way of saying ‘Thank You’ by the administrative team. These do not always occur and are given at the administrators’ discretion. According to the Help Documents, the official stance on this is:
The fact is that sometimes a donation is made and a show of appreciation is the granting of an award. We don't sell awards per se.
Controversy
There has been some controversy around the apparent ability for people who possess the Master Donator award to be able to scam multiple members from the forum and not be banned because they have this award. This has been proven by Omniscient_(User) to not be the case as proven by the members Bulls_(User) and Legitti_(User), however these rumours are still circulated in the community.
