The rule is that you don't set a strict pricing schedule so that the service is accessible and open to both shitty AND big fares. Raiders on blue would hook DaP's up with crazy fares all the time, both plat or items. Stating up front that we charge X plat per level would create less of those big jackpots. Still I think DaP originally spread the 1pp per level idea, but I can't point to who or when it started.
The bigger rule is you don't use the words "tip" or "donation" in your /ooc macros. Those terms imply that the payment is optional, when DaP has always been designed as a for profit service.
The reason for that "CR is always free" line is an indirect way of showing that normal ports are NOT considered free, without looking pushy about it. People know that auctioning porting is generally for money but especially here on green/teal there's been people saying shit like "payment not required but welcome". Saying its free only if you're on a CR removes any doubt without sounding greedy or blunt about it.
