I appreciate that we may only be able to exclude
donors who are logged
in readers from banner ads. But it is better in my view to say "Yes we
can do that, but you would have to tell us your username and be
logged in to avoid ads" than to tell them "Sorry we can't switch off
those ads".
Logged in users make up an incredibly small portion of donors. This
year, we stopped displaying banners to logged in users entirely after
a while (it seems that logged in users either donate early or not at
all). I wouldn't be surprised if that is done sooner in future. If
that's the case, then there isn't much point using user names to avoid
showing banners to people that have already donated.
