Currently one is under /account/ and the other under /home/. Both of these pages I'd like to see possibly one day be /vote/ and /donate/ or at least redirect to the current URL. These two links are essential to the survival of servers, voting and donating of course. We don't want to hinder access to either so I am afraid to say you must always be FORCED to login to vote or FORCED to login to access donate page.

With voting, we could allow you to vote but notify that you're not logged in and will not receive rewards, or at least when they click a link let them login and say you know, "You're not logged in yet!" or something.

Donating on the other hand with the current system there is donating points or coins or anything for that matter. Current system is done by code receiving through email. While the point/coin system is effective I've never been sure if that's something I would be interested in pursuing. A _LOT_ of donors donate for their friends, etc. so restricting donating to an ACCOUNT related issue would once again, hinder that. I think in this case possibly if we continue the code system WHICH WORKS WONDERFULLY we should allow the donate page to always be accessible. However, if we want to flag as Donor on the forums or do any type of recognition in the future it would I guess be impossible that way. But curious of others thoughts on this.
