I agree that (resource)donations through any means(other than farming) isn't against the rules. But recent rounds have proven that it can give such an advantage(same as exiling) that we're no longer playing on a 'level' and 'balanced' playing field. I don't think it would be a bad thing to explore possibilities of restoring the balance in this.

One of these possibilities could be to limit the size of donations further, or to 'tax' donations to players that did not put the resources into the funds. This way you could ensure backhacking and latestarting remain viable personal strategies, but limit the overpowered advantage it gave to galaxies like 3.3 this round.
