That global pm! They think I am asking for money. What can I say? Everyone is now harassing me online and calling me a traitor.

Just tell them every member of ProBoard Forums are getting the messages but that does not mean they have to contribute, I received one on 2 ProBoard Forums I participate as a member-only, I am not an owner of Admin/Mod on the 2 ProBoard Forums I participate in. To be honest, $5.00 a month for a Bronze medal and $5.00 add free is not a bad offer but that would be no good for me as I do not run a Forum to get anything add free. Once again the message is not a compulsory one where you have to donate but it would be nice if members could as I have been on here for years and hopefully will be for a lot more and have made many friends.

It clearly came directly from ProBoards.They think it's fake because the profile looks fake with all the stars on the same line as the name. Does anyone else see it that way?

dustys , You can explain to them that it's a real message from the CEO. You are not requesting any money. The PM went out to every member on every forum. ProBoards is struggling due to the effects of COVID-19. What they received was simply a request for a donation, and not a demand or a bill. I do hope your members will understand that the PM was not malicious. I do, however, presumably see what you see.

No.
I am a member on 3 forums,on two this has hardly been mentioned, on the other one there is a long diatribe about advertising and refusing to drop adbocker.
The only thing l can advise is to point out again,it is genuine,and is not of your making.

You could always create an announcement explaining the situation.
No one has said anything on my forum (that I've seen).

This is weird. I checked my different accounts/forums and for me the stars display on their own line as they should. I've flagged this for a developer to look at. I know we are trained that if a seemingly legit email looks sketchy to be wary, so I can understand the concern. dustys , may I ask what your forum's URL is, the developers may wish to look at the underlying code to compare to a forum where the stars display properly. Thanks.

That global pm! They think I am asking for money. What can I say? Everyone is now harassing me online and calling me a traitor. Yeah, we had an issue also since we do pay the extra for ad-free and photo storage. We had to assure membership that we are not double dipping. Since we had already sent extra to PB last month from their original appeal, we felt a bit blindsided and betrayed. A message to the CEO was more of an explanation than it was a: "whoops, sorry about that." In the end, it is what it is and PB has treated us well in the past so, not going to let this one hiccup cause a bigger issue than need be. Just hope they will consider this in the future and I was assured they would take my suggestion into account in the future. We'll see....

Contributions were only initially mentioned here on Support while we did a "soft launch" of the system. What you and your members are seeing now is simply the "full launch" of the program, and we sent a PM to all PB members.

In all fairness, I think the point we're making here is not really being addressed. We know why and how. We are asking why those who already were financially invested in proboards and had already given to this fund raiser in advance of this PM rollout, were still lumped in with those who are ONLY using the free boards and had not invested anything?
