Begging/Scam videos and campaigns

They are nearly all scams, so if you see one posted, report it. If you post them yourself, we need to talk. And if you've spammed it to multiple groups, just take a few days off, our treat.

Shouldn't this be a site post?

Examples? Foals Errand, for example, I'm pretty sure is legit.

Ain't been mod for even a month and already swinging that hammer...

Say... That makes this null and void...

3202495 It's less an issue of whether they're legit and more that nobody wants to have to deal with the spammy crap. When the Keyframe thing blew up, I personally deleted something like 15 group threads about it. I know group staff dealt with more than that on their own without my involvement. That is absurd.

If someone's in an abusive environment, call child protective services or the relevant authorities. Don't fling money at the problem. And definitely don't panhandle in 10 different groups, because all that does is make everyone mad. Even a perfectly legitimate charity (and I seriously doubt any of these are... it all sounds like typical teen "my parents suck" drama-mongering most of the time) can get to the point where it's just annoying to see, and if you turn the public against you then you're not going to get their money.

Just so I understand this correctly, are links to Patreon/PayPal/gofundme/etc. on someone's own userpage/blog posts okay?

I don't know what that means, but I guess that it doesn't really matter.

Like I said, spare me. Please. I have a wife and kids!

I'm with you on this one. Plus anyone that would be gullible enough to donate to something like that online is part of the problem. My advice to people, NEVER donate to someone begging for money online because 99% of the time it is just someone trying to get you to part with your money. Oh and Meeester, cute Meaty Belle.
