And a lot of users take donations because they want to buy themselves Prime or Evocator. Hell, that's how I got EV! Two awesome members helped me afford my rank, Vineyard and DeLiLa. I don't agree to this at all. HOWEVER, as a compromise, I wouldn't mind if perhaps these type of signatures could only be allowed if the donations are used towards upgrading on the forums.
If you are going to ask for money either do it within context of do it discretely. For example.
Bob makes a program that he releases for free. He adds that you can also donate to support his software at the bottom of his thread.
That to me is a okay way of doing it.
Having your btc address or PayPal email in your sig is less okay to me but just to compromise you could just add them like this

No requests. No special coloring just for it to be there.
