I can't see the difference. If someone would like to elaborate this with me, feel free, but this is what i can come up with:
Case 1: A member wants to invite a friend so he donates money to ScT for an invite in return, which he then sends to his friend.
Case 2: A person wants to join but nobody is willing to pay for his invite. He agrees with a friend to pay for the cost of the invite, so he transfers the money to the sct member, who buys an invite by making a donation and invites his friend.
In the second case, it is practically the non-member who is making the ScT donation if you ignore the irrelevant technicalities (assuming he didn't pay a buck more than the invite costs on ScT, and that the "seller" aren't receiving money for a free invite).
So at the and of the day, it's pretty much the same thing to donate for an invite, as to buy an invite from a member.
I don't agree with this whole thing about donating for invites. A donation should be made to help the tracker cover their expenses, not for UL credits or invites in return. But the wrongs and errors in it, are imo exactly the same for both cases. The only difference, and probably part of the reason why it isn't allowed to make a "sct invite giveaway (send me $20 on my paypal)" at this forum, is that it's impossible to monitor that people aren't making profits by taking too much money or selling invites they were issued for free.
This is what i concluded after giving it a short thought. I might have overseen some important factors though
