Thank You for your continued support and contributions!
there is nothing to indicate from the Paypal icon on the main page, what level of support or influence you can expect to get if you donate.
It is a shame that this thread is going to be deleted. It should at least be filed away as a reminder, something that mods can go back and read occasionally.
Since the project happily takes donations, it needs to be prepared to listen to what its users have to say.
The thread that Ki quoted:http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=15596.0was clearly coming from a misguided person. The responses were just *mean-spirited*. There is nothing to indicate from the Paypal icon on the main page, what level of support or influence you can expect to get if you donate. He/she might have felt that it was totally kosher to ask for a feature. I'll admit I've not read the IRC logs to see what was said in IRC though.
The effect of that kind of response is probably going to be that the original poster (whose first post it was) will not return to the forums again. That may or may not concern you, but as an administrator for a community forum, I think it probably should. Another byproduct may be that other people reading the thread may be turned off by the community and rockbox in general.
This is something that has seemed odd to me..You say that the reason for strict enforcement of the rules on the forums is so that the answer to technical questions can be searched quickly, yet when someone posts good technical information on the forum they are often told (sometimes abruptly) that they should not have done so & the information should have been put on the wiki, where in my experience, the searching is difficult.
The rules in this forum are heavily enforced.
