  I’ve seen a blog that is encouraging people to donate them. their site has a link to a paypal page where you give the blog owner money. It shows evidence of giving it to themselves, not back to wordpress or something. should i report them for advertising? Since i can’t find another forum entry of FAQ entry that helps me

  Donations are completely acceptable. They are not the same as advertising. Some forum results are below.
