Currently, all donations go directly towards the server to keep it up and running.
Additionally, it'd be nice if we also had the option to donate to individual staff members. This, perhaps, may include both paid and unpaid staff members.
I know we could just let them know how grateful we are by messaging them or posting about them on the forums. However, I'd be nice if we could convey our gratitude in a way that is more profound and meaningful.
For example, we could add packages like:
"Buy LilKayla a Cookie!"
"Buy ChocBar a Chocolate Bar!"
"Buy xDacon a Coffee!"
It would indirectly help the server by making staff members feel more appreciated for their hard work and dedication. Additionally, it would reward the staff members who already work incredibly hard to maintain the server, while at the same time, it would provide a greater incentive for those who, for lack of a better term, tend to slack off from time to time.
As always, feel free to leave your thoughts below.

~ JesusHello, while I like this idea because I am greedy and want people to buy me chocolate, I have to disagree with your suggestion.
The money spent on the store goes to supporting and keeping the server alive (whether paying for the monthly server hosting or buying new plugins). This means that the money would instead be sent to the staff, which would decrease the amount used to improve the server. Staffing is voluntary because it shows dedication. -

Moderator AdminMaybe it can be store credit therefore the server and the staff are both rewarded

CalariYou could also add a "I dedicate this purchase to ... " - option.
So you can show your support for a staff member (optional!),
whilst supporting the server like regular.
