60. it wasn't classless. the poster's status was part of the story urging donations

if the poster's status changed, that is, the poster was banned, then that is very relevant.

also, are you saying there is something wrong with people not donating because they hear that someone is banned? you clearly still support the donation despite the ban, so it didn't hurt your generosity.

do you think it should be kept a secret so that people who wouldn't donate if they knew will donate because they are kept in the dark?
