So what can be done to stop the charge backs?
Say how Anthem has a no return policy, and they get charge backs, why is it they have to suffer by losing their money.
If anything the user should be banned for stealing his parent's credit card info and his/ her parents should take it out of the kid's allowance, if said child has that allowance.
Now what about identity theft?
Someone could steal credit card info and do this same thing, this money is donated to the server for it's purposes.
The server's owner(s) and/or GM team do what is promised to occur when you donate.
Now losing that money for what they do, if they have a no return policy, isn't that a bit unfair to those server owners?

guess , we need to make a donation fraud database and spread that among server owners which accept paypal donations  ::)

-shows up randomly- post office box; Money order form... o.o -vanishes again-

If there are no donations, then Low rates, such as Anthem, would not work.
In order for there to be balance, everyone should be able to be geared like one another.
Meaning: If someone has a doppelganger, the only one in the server, he is the best on the server, no beating him unless you strip him, and if he is FCP'd you have to gang or dispell and then have someone strip him.
It doesn't work out right.

Some people cannot use money orders.
Like myself, I only have a Visa, but I don't use PayPal.

money order requirements = post office and I think 5 extra dollars. That's about it. They send a form, the person signs the form, gets the money, and you get a thing back telling you it went through. Only reason you'd need a post box is if you didn't want someone using your home address I think. Most of that stuff can be signed right at the door!

I wouldn't slander the server itself. Technically, that's a improper administration and their techniques at getting donations are very unprofessional. Slandering the server is basically saying all the users are horrible, etc. When reporting a server, I'd include some proof as well. I find it highly awkward that someone would make a RO server dedicated to naked sprites, though...

Zone

That server being which? There was like...4 that I know of that had naked sprites, but I dunno about it being their focus.

On EuphRO, after your first donation, it takes 72 hours (3 days) for credits to appear. Owner says it's to prevent donation fraud like this. On your second and later donations, donation credits appear instantly. I don't know if this works, but at least they're doing something about chargebacks.

Zone

You can still charge back though, that is the problem.
If I ordered with paypal, I could recall all my donations and get my money.
That is near $1000
If a user were to do that, then server is in some trouble.

Ambrose Merle

That's why I'd only take money orders since in order to recieve it I have to sign for it, they have to sign to get rid of it, and it's not my loss. If the money was stolen, it's easily trackable becuase of the signature and thereby the individual who fraudulantely sent the money will be punished by the police. I'd also only take donations of a certain amount. I wouldn't accept any that were 1 cent off, or out of bounds. In addition, I also would post up that all donations are final. Plus, I'd get a slip of paper with the money, so I'd know exactly who I owed credits to. For the last trick though, I'd ask them to write down the account name so I could verify the accounts existance before taking the money and blah blah blah... Money order people o.o Money order.

Change donation accounts?
o.o
Donations go to one account, every week or so delete and remake under a new name?
People like myself only use cards.
