I agree on trying to get more server members to donate. But I do have a potential problem with badges for reg donators. Even if it comes with no other reward than a badge, that could become a status symbol. And that could have an effect on social ecosystem.

I do think a more visible donation button is a great idea. It would be a constant reminder, and ever avail. Admins can also regularly post donation requests, and one and done thank yous to reg supporters.

I don't know if "status symbol" is the right phrase, as that implies something unattainable for most people?

If the donation threshold was 1 euro (or whatever) that would be pretty accessible. It would be more like a sticker you get when you give money to a charity collector in the street: not just showing you gave but also advertising the cause to other people, reminding others that giving is a good idea.

The original post which inspired this post was about a server that needed funding, and they calculated if just a fraction of its active users gave just 1 euro it would solve the funding issue.
