just trying to understand.
paying a donation of $5 gets you to rank 30. (proposal)
paying a donation of $5 gets you a PBF.
both require use of dikumud code.
the language you cite says no one should ever profit from use of the code. it does not say no one should ever ask for donations in exchange for enhanced use of the code.
i guess one way to distinguish is to say paying for the PBF is "after the fact" in that it's only available at character death, not character creation (like the proposed level jump). however, both involve use of the dikumud code.
I agree that paying for the option of jumping to a level is not the greatest idea EVAR, but I'm not sure that this language prohibits it outright. If the "spirit" of CF is to force players, new and old, to earn their stripes, every single time, then that's ok -- I'm not complaining about that at all. Just wondering how to solve the volunteer-only/money problem.
