I know you were probably expecting reward code/rares in return for your donation.  However, please try to keep in mind that a donation (which the button is labeled and it is the word you used here) is a free gift so it comes across quite harsh to say that you will never donate again because one time wasn't rewarded.  (No, I'm not saying this sort of result is the norm, should be tolerated, or is OK.)

noun

an act or instance of presenting something as a gift, grant, or contribution.


With all that being put out there, maybe this will actually provide help:
I'd not believe what any non-admin here writes. Contact Higurashi.

I'll "third" this sentiment - contact Higurashi to state your case and see what can or cannot be done.  Also, sending a calm and well-worded email to game.elements@gmail.com may or may not yield results.

This.

From what I've seen, this stuff usually gets sorted out to everyone's satisfaction, but not usually until after a long thread of random people saying the person is screwed.

Hopefully we can avoid the really long random thread here with the above suggestions.
Well, as much as we'd love for people to just donate out of the kindness of their hearts, I doubt that the majority of people just donate because they love the game and they expect incentive to donate. Try and put yourself in his shoes. If I gave $50 to a game for one shard and didn't get anything, I'd be rather upset.

On an unrelated note, hey lashtal! I'm 5678bam on Kongregate :P What did I tell you to do right after posting the thread? ;) Contact Higu.

Just as an interesting factoid here, I should point out that donating happened and that donation function existed long before Shards (I do not recall if any sort of reward existed way back then for donating).  :)

IIRC, the concept of a gift code in exchange for a donation was added when SoG was out.
