Is is it normal gold a rip-off?

Sometimes, I think is it normal Gold is a rip-off. I'm going to tell you why.

1. Your post(s) can get moderated earlier than the ones belonging to people without Gold.

Rebuttal 1: Well, sometimes your post can be moderated in about and hour or so anyway. (Note: I'm just saying "sometimes", not "all the time", so take note. :P)

2. You can gain immediate access to the live chat as a new member.

Rebuttal 2: You won't need that, if you have patience.

3. You can put pics on your post(s).

Rebuttal 3: Pictures are nice, but they're not "vital". Your post can live without them.

4. You can private message people without Gold.

Rebuttal 4: Then private message someone WITH Gold! Or wait for someone to give you or that person Gold! You can ask for their email, or speak to them in the comments, the chat, etc.! So many free options!

5. You can view posts during moderation.

Rebuttal 5: You might think this is a good one, right? But there are enough "already-moderated" posts on IIN! There must be THOUSANDS of them by now! Or more! IDK.

6. This list.

Rebuttal 6: You probably won't have enough time on is it normal to use your Gold, if you still have school, work, etc.

Have I missed anything? Do YOU agree with me? (Note: This was just based on my opinion, so if you disagree, don't curse.)
