The issue with the webform is that it didn't restrict the size of the number you input. So you could make a donation of say, 45 x 10 to the eighty seventh power, donations of unprecedented size.
I'm not sure it was necessarily a technical snafu. For all we know, it could have been intentional, in order to allow "the sky's the limit" kinds of donations. (technically, one of the Three Nephites could have donated very large sums. I imagine being immortal, if they were to hold bank accounts for a very long time they'd make a killing off of interest)
It made me feel a little uncomfortable, I have to admit. Even though no one is forced to imput a large donation, it would be like, say, if somone asked me for a cash donation, I agreed, and then the person opened up a large garbage bag for me to put the money in.
I thought you were referring to online donations in general, not FARMS/MI's peculiar online fundraising.
Sorry.
