This is correct.

It should not give gameplay advantages.

In any case, I considered donating to him because his game was unique, very well done, he was offering purely cosmetic rewards for a measly two bucks, and most of all the professionalism of it all. I knew I was dealing with someone who actually deserved and could use the money wisely, and who clearly knew what they were doing.

If you can provide all of that, I think people will donate to you.

I really hate your given arguments. Sure, it's a way to show appreciation to the host. But he doesn't need to give you special features for it that intrigue you into donating, which is mostly the bloody point of those features to begin with. Just as example if I donate to an orphanage I don't get anything. At the very least if I give a substantial donation I eventually get a name somewhere. But I don't receive the key to the orphanage or any powers in it. A title or even decorational is just fine, as long as it's not used for bragging. Special weaponry? Gameplay-affecting bonuses? Going level aheads of others? Special access to something gameplay related other users don't have? No.

Here's the thing. Which sounds better?

Click here to donate money to keep the server going! Donate fifteen dollars or more and receive VIP!
Click here to buy VIP for fifteen dollars!

I think people should be allowed to do whatever they want in their own server.
