Donation Privacy / Bank Statement Clarification
Clearing up a common concern about donating to LewdCorner​

---

Hey everyone,

I want to clear something up because I have seen this concern come up before, and I am sure there are people who have thought about donating but stopped because of it.

A common worry is:

“I would donate, but I do not want LewdCorner showing up on my bank statement.”

That is completely understandable. Privacy matters, and nobody wants a forum/site name showing directly on their card or bank statement.

---

LewdCorner does not show up on your bank statement when you donate.​

Your bank/card statement does not say LewdCorner.

It shows under the payment processor / billing descriptor instead. In simple terms, your statement shows the processor-side billing name, not the LC site name.

---

What This Means

When you donate through the official donation system:

• Your statement does not display LewdCorner.
• Your statement does not advertise what site you supported.
• The charge appears under the payment processor / billing descriptor.
• Your donation can still be tracked correctly for donation rewards.
• Your donation still helps keep LC online and running.

This is one of the reasons the donation system is handled through a proper processor. I do not want people avoiding donations because they think the site name will be printed directly on their bank/card statement.

Donation Rankups / Credits

Donation rewards are handled through the official donation system.

If you donate through the supported donation method, your donation can be tracked and credited toward the correct rewards, rankups, or donation perks.

Donating can also bypass the normal Donator requirement where donation bypass is supported.

That means if a rank, reward, or upgrade normally requires Donator status first, a valid tracked donation can count as the donation route instead of forcing you to grind through the normal Donator requirement first.

Normal route: Meet the site requirements normally.​

Donation route: Donate through the official system and receive supported donation credit.​

Donation bypass: A valid tracked donation can bypass the normal Donator requirement where supported.​

Why Donations Matter

LewdCorner is not free to run.

Servers, storage, bandwidth, security work, backups, development, moderation tools, anti-bot protection, and general site improvements all cost money.

Donations help with:

• Keeping the site online.
• Paying server and storage costs.
• Keeping downloads/uploads stable.
• Funding future improvements.
• Supporting security and anti-abuse work.
• Helping LC stay usable without forcing everything behind a hard paywall.

The goal is to keep the site alive, stable, and improving.

Important Note

Do not donate if you cannot afford it.

This post is not meant to pressure anyone. If you can help support the site, it is appreciated. If you cannot, that is fine too.

The point of this post is only to clear up the privacy concern:

Your statement does not say LewdCorner.
It appears under the payment processor / billing descriptor instead.​

---

Simple Version

• LewdCorner does not show on your bank statement.
• The charge appears under the payment processor / billing descriptor.
• Valid donations through the official system can count toward supported rewards/rankups.
• Valid donations can bypass the normal Donator requirement where supported.
• Discord boosts do not automatically count as donation credit unless specifically announced.

Thanks for the clarification on the discord boost bit, actually asked about it on the discord earlier.

Hell, years back buying something from a porn site was usually listed as like ccbill

I made a small donation once through a gift card. Just purchase a visa gift card with cash, and donate that way if you don't want your name showing up somewhere.

Now that is an interesting approach, and definitely keeps anything off your statements. However, if you are asked to provide proof of your donation, you don't really have a record unless you screenshot it. Or, Jack Of Blades is able to get the site to do what he wants, which is to keep clear track of all donations. I have confidence that Jack Of Blades really wants to get this code to work, so he doesn't have to deal with that aspect anymore.
