NSFAN was motivated by that orange donate button. And to increase his credibility thus increasing his donations, he altered/stole some software from a founding father. This gave users a "false" sense of him being a ppc god like no2chem. And made them more willing to donate.
I think the big orange donate button should be banned as this is a free site. A simple
would suffice. Donation links shoud be nothing more than a text link with a font no bigger than a #2, and no icons. This is not a place to earn income off the hard work of others that is available to all for FREE.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it...
edit: if you look, most of the problems recently with banned users, all have these orange buttons...
