Donating is a common courtesy, and is never a requirement. When payment is demanded outright, that is not donating, that's barter.

I see the word "donations" as the porter not wanting to cap their upside.
I agree with many that folks who say, "porting for donations" are really looking for the server average tip for the port (or more). If you give less or none they may or may not bitch about it out loud, but they won't like it. If you are expecting X for the port you need to ask for X. If you don't ask for X and get less by using the word "donations" to try and accentuate your upside from those who tip more than you have no one to blame but yourself. | ||

I port al the time on my wizard and i use donation's and that is what it is doesn't matter how much it is whatever you wish to give even if it is free that is ok aas well. There on are people that will abuse the free ports i am sure but after so many i think you should always donate something if reguardless.
I have had people ask me hey how much for the port and it is just a donation and it is just that so if you see me now you know what you can do. Reppy | ||

Freedictionary fail. Barter's primary meaning in a modern context is "to trade without money," but all organic money (gold, silver, etc) was originally a barter (until some government provides legal tender laws), and the secondary meaning doesn't necessarily require the user to exclude money from the equation. You may return to your regularly scheduled trolling. | |||
