So you need to either tell me how you are going to verify people’s claims or how you are going to protect against social engineering that reddit-like sites are famous for. It literally isn’t possible. All the claims are true or they aren’t. This isn’t complicated.

This is a wild point to argue when you literally admitted not having context

Not my problem. Maybe include it in the post.

It’s not anybody else’s problem if they ignore/tell you to kick rocks for purposeful ignorance

I’m not trying to do any of that at all. What do you think I’m advocating for? I think something is lost in translation.

Where in any post are they advocating for vetting? You have a really strong opinion about something everyone already agrees with but somehow that means you disagree with their point of offering advice instead of just money?

  • Somebody asks for a few bucks for some ramen.

  • The same somebody is pretty open about their use and/or addiction to things on the same forums that they’ve asked for a few bucks

  • Commenters chirp about “not being an addict” and “don’t give money to this person because they are probably going to use it for drugs”

I’m hoping this is what the rule is in reference to. Could also be comfortable with it being in reference to comments telling them to go find a food pantry or shelter etc.etc. when they weren’t asking for helping finding or navigating those services.

I am 99% positive, nobody is asking to vet the user who’s asking for ramen money if, in fact, they are going to be using it for ramen instead of drugs or booze or socks or something.

Total Donations: $3,344.65

SEND SANDINBAND DONATION RECEIPTS.

RULES:

    1. Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk and hold each other accountable. If you see something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review.
    1. All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
    1. Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
    1. Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
    1. Moderator Pinning Rules:

    a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.

    b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.

    c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.
