Well, in our case, Carrion Fields (the company) isn't an individual, and we are legally required to report what we do with its money. If audited, the government would see exactly what we say: All money donated pays for equipment and/or upkeep (bandwidth, whatever fees are involved, etc.... I don't handle this end of the game much). Some of that money comes from players, and some comes from the staff, but not a cent goes to salary/etc.
I could see an issue with your more "mom-n-pop" games which haven't formed a business, however, where there's no legal paper trail. However, TMS isn't an accounting firm, and some common-sense guidelines (discussed elsewhere at length) should suffice for the purpose of guiding players to the type of game they prefer.
