'''Suggestion description'''<br />
Not everyone wants to play a load of characters. Not everyone wants their characters interfering with. Some people like the IP limit as it forces them to leave the game so they have to do other things, while other like to experiment with the limits imposed by the base 160 IP hits per day.

Unfortunately a character's owner cannot be in charge of this due to the way the donations system is set up and is operated. 

All characters will have a check box added to their settings screen that reads ''"Allow donations"'' with ''"Yes"'' and ''"No"'' as options. The option will be set as default to allow donations for newbies and people who are clueless with their settings, but will allow those that choose to refuse all donations and leave the character subject to the IP limit.

This all came about after I'd spent two months levelling a character for various IP limit tests for some wiki guides for newbies detailing how much could be achieved and the limitations of the IP system. Then someone came along and decided to donate for that character. I didn't ask for it nor did I get a say. The character in question was made exempt from the IP limit and there was nothing I as the owner could do to stop, prevent or remove any of it. After I expressed my displeasure and dismay at this work having gone to waste the person in question emailed Kevan to ask for the IP limit to be put back, five months later and nothing.

Is it really too much that players for whatever reason can be subject to this limit? More complex games have purchase screens where players can ''choose'' to spend any credits that their account has bought or been given, I don't want anything nearly as complex, just an option to express my preference as the character's owner. Kevan can keep the money for all I care.
