For instance, at [
www.animepaper.net]
animepaper.net you can donate through paypal in exchange for "papers" used on that site to download pictures. I don't see why i'd be so impossible for you to do the same and have us donate in exchange for the "credits" used on this site. like have fixed prices for credits and stuff. . .
Oh, you should totally ask PayPal if sites like that are allowed to use their service. Then watch it not be a thing anymore.
See, smaller sites can go under the radar. We did for years. Hell, we even had a donation page that was linked from the site. But at some point, they take notice. Maybe some jealous prick decides to "get back" at a perceived wrong, or a competing site wants to shut you down, so they report it. Or the volume goes past some secret threshold that triggers a red flag, and someone starts looking more closely at it. And seeing as PayPal's list of banned goods and services rivals the Uniform Commercial Code, it's not going to stay up.
Even if you keep "secret" donation accounts, the problem is that 25% of the population are retards who fail to grasp just
why it is "secret", so they end up being compromised anyway.
