#'''Kill/Change''' - Like Pesatyel, not sure I understand, is this a character whose password you shared or are you saying players can donate for characters at random? Either way, it's not a serious problem, and this creates an obstacle where a player may choose to donate and find repeatedly that they can't for their choice of characters, discouraging donations, and thus is decidedly ''not'' harmless. Ask for an IP limit toggle instead if it's that important to you, and let players donate for whomever they want.--[[User:Necrofeelinya|Necrofeelinya]] 00:02, 14 September 2009 (BST) | #'''Kill/Change''' - Like Pesatyel, not sure I understand, is this a character whose password you shared or are you saying players can donate for characters at random?

#:In response to both you and Pesatyel, all of my accounts are secure, it's just that anyone may donate for any character they want whether they are the owner or not. Go pick a random character in any building you are in, take his ID and you can donate for him, and the character's owner has no say in it at all. The toggle would be default set to ''allow'' donations, so players must choose to disallow them deliberately or things would be as they are now.

Suggestion description
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.

Keep Votes
- Auteur -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 08:24, 13 September 2009 (BST)
- Keep - Is harmless and allows finer control. --Anotherpongo 14:33, 13 September 2009 (BST)
Kill Votes
- Kill - The only people with a serious use for this are IP hit limit researchers on the wiki. Adds unnecessary clutter to the Settings page that would only serve to confuse 99% of users. --Aichon 16:35, 13 September 2009 (BST)
- We need this unnecessary addition because YOU let someone else donate for YOUR character? I don't get it.--Pesatyel 22:12, 13 September 2009 (BST)
- Kill/Change - Like Pesatyel, not sure I understand, is this a character whose password you shared or are you saying players can donate for characters at random? Either way, it's not a serious problem, and this creates an obstacle where a player may choose to donate and find repeatedly that they can't for their choice of characters, discouraging donations, and thus is decidedly not harmless. Ask for an IP limit toggle instead if it's that important to you, and let players donate for whomever they want.--Necrofeelinya 00:02, 14 September 2009 (BST)
- In response to both you and Pesatyel, all of my accounts are secure, it's just that anyone may donate for any character they want whether they are the owner or not. Go pick a random character in any building you are in, take his ID and you can donate for him, and the character's owner has no say in it at all. The toggle would be default set to allow donations, so players must choose to disallow them deliberately or things would be as they are now.
