As a donor myself, I wonder if the Scratch Team could add a feature that put a “Donor” badge on your profile, just like the Scratcher badge. It would get more noticed.

I believe this is rejected:
8.2 Add a rank above Scratcher or allow users to skip the New Scratcher status
There are three ranks: New Scratcher, Scratcher, and Scratch Team. The only reason the New Scratcher rank exists is to prevent spam, and since it only takes a few weeks to become a Scratcher, bullying and separation are rather minimal. Similarly, the Scratch Team rank exists so users know who is on the Scratch Team; note that Scratch Team members do not brag about the Scratch Team rank. In contrast, there may be division in the community between Scratchers and those with a higher rank, which could also lead to bragging and bullying. This also includes a “verified Scratcher” status where well-known Scratchers get a special symbol next to their name.

i don't think this falls under this, as it doesn't add any new features, and, personally, i think this is a good thing. while this may lead to seperation, this would mean more people would want to donate to ST, and they'd get more funding.

The separation would not be good for those who cannot donate to the Scratch Foundation.

This would still probably fall under this:

8.8 Scratch achievements
Some users have suggested Scratch achievements such as “Created 50 projects” with the idea that this would give users motivation to keep using Scratch. However, this sort of idea does not really fit in with the purpose of Scratch. Some users may use their achievements to determine that they are “better” than other users. However, you are allowed to make achievements in your own games, if you like.
And the problem of people bragging that they're “better” for donating still stands, so i would say that this is still rejected.
