Ask any motherfucker who had to ask the system for food and money how embarrassing that cycle is. I'm all for an official method to exist on the side, but if you poo poo all over one possible method for people to just get the $30 they need quietly, you don't -get it- man.

ram dass in hell posted:do you think that a red star makes you like a sherriffs deputy or something lol what is this air of authority like you have any more credibility here than plinkey or anyone else dont you see there are these posts from 2019, but don't even mention that all this was raised before years ago by Bert Robage but now it's back again with nothing to actually indicate any malfeasance on the goon fund that has helped a lot of people but there are concerns, see Epic High Five posted:Plinkey is right to be mad, he's had a whole mountain of poo poo piled on him and been dragged through the dirt across the forums with people making all kinds of made up claims that are then just accepted as true instead of as the baseless accusations they are. I was a day 1 supporter of the fund and have continued to support it to this very day, it's wild that the whole thing just got soft taken down by people "concerned" about "transparency" who are now talking themselves up to the unfortunate necessity of keeping all the personal info on recipients despite not even having something anybody can donate to yet.

People attacking this fund should be loving embarrassed, Az most of all. Absolutely disgusting people with forum posting grudges to try to shut down a fund helping real people in the real world. I don't for a second believe your fake as gently caress concern trolling, and nobody else should either.

Plinkey is acting exactly like someone guilty of skimming funds would act. hes also acting like like somebody who came home from some weekend event and has a bunch of dumb questions from goons he doesn't care about. like if I was running this op the same way and actually paying the taxes (i.e. my money), I wouldn't give a drat either. or hes a big scammer.

Like I know I shouldn't be surprised at the dregs of humanity still posting in FYAD/QCS (and yeah here too) but the fact that you're trying to leverage a loving internet slapfight to take money away from people desperate enough to ask here for it is just, I don't even have strong enough words for how much shame you should feel.

I'm sure the beloved community member of nearly 2 decades who is also employed and wealthy by his own means decided after all that time to start skimming from a charity fund that makes sense on the basis that the same people who are always trying to destroy parts of cspam said it was the case brilliant detective work, Azathoth you've cracked the loving case wide open on this one

I don't think he's a witch but he's acting like how a witch would act. the appearance of being a witch is just as bad as being a witch. he has a path forward to prove he is not a witch and it's up to him to walk it. I'm done here.

Azathoth posted:Here is what I know. Plinkey is acting exactly like someone guilty of skimming funds would act. That's it, that's all I know. I'm not going to run people out of this thread for pointing out the same. He looks and acts guilty as hell. Now, that isn't to say he's actually doing anything wrong, but right now he's a massive flashing warning red flag. again, you're posting this as though he hasn't offered to provide transparency today and followed through on all other requests that have been made of him by the mod staff. he has explained why he didn't set it up as a 501(c)-3, and other posters have clarified those parts in more detail. he has offered to provide some transparency going forward in the form of a public spreadsheet, starting next month because presumably there were no records kept before this in the interest of maintaining privacy. his actions right now are consistent with someone who's extremely annoyed at being slandered nonstop for several days, and if you stop assuming that he's guilty for a second you'd be able to see that.

I'm gonna be entirely honest, I've been holding off for a few weeks on asking for help from the fund for a second month in a row because of my own personal guilt about it, and then this poo poo goes and pops off and I see people's post histories being dug into or using people asking for help to take care of their pets as a cudgel and poo poo and making me doubly terrified of asking in here so i just send a stealth email off yesterday hoping to get it noticed but at this point it looks like it doesn't matter. This fund has actively saved my life on several occasions. Plinkey has helped me and gone way above and beyond on several occasions since due to a troubled living situation and stuff I have frequent issues with getting my food stamps and the anonymity and expedience and all the related stuff makes it easy to get help without getting things gummed up while I work on my various appeals for getting my food stamps/disability/etc going. And seeing as there's a non zero chance of it all coming crashing down and one of my last few support structures crumbling in the face of this is absolutely cripplingly depressing. Especially when alternatives aren't off the ground, and are debating means testing and everything. Even if it's just a little, it helps a ton, and seeing this is just absolutely crushing. I really don't know what I'd do without it.

Okay, mean culpa time. I'm reading over my posts and I'm embarrassed. I got heated and I hosed up, said things I shouldn't have said and I'd like to personally apologize to Plinkey. He's said he will address the accountability concerns and I should have taken him at his word on that. He's done more real world good than I have, by a large margin, and that should and does count for something. I'm sorry that I made someone who used the fund feel like they needed to come here and defend it, and talk about personal stuff. I was over the line and I am truly sorry.
