If only the various people asking for 3 years for some kind of change had instead of getting mocked and probed they were taken seriously.

bad call, Jeff. i don't recall any fundraiser or charity on this site ever getting the scrutiny goonfund has, and some have generated more money.
i really dont appreciate you doing this before the other fund is up and running, just awful timing on top of an awful call. but hey, it's your forum and we're all just the chumps who post here.

e: Unless somebody's going to pay for third party auditors there's no level of info that could come from Plinkey that will satisfy the QCS brigade.

Jeff, I'm curious: DId anyone who had donated to the fund or received money from the fund ever provide any sort of evidence that the fund was being misappropriated or that Plinkey was using it as a personal slush fund?

What do people do in the meantime while the other fund is being set up?

There’s literally nothing unreasonable in what Jeff is asking. Also, I don’t think his post prevents anyone from continuing to ask Plinkey for support.

Sorry I'm late
When the current drama started with calling Plinkey a degenerate gambler, mocking the people asking for help for clearly being undeserving and calling anyone contributing to the fund slacktivist rubes for believing the fund was helping people (which it has unquestionably, the only thing in doubt is if it has to the degree it could or should), acting like everyone has been motivated by concerns about Ethics In Charity Management is flatly false.

That is why all of this has been so loving irritating for someone uninvolved with any side of the fund because any real discussion is significantly more adversarial, even outside of the blatant trolling.

Plinkey posted:

Heres the monthly thing:

I did not take into account before since, it was only negative like 200 bucks



This seems like a completely reasonable ask to me, and anything further is way beyond the pureview of this site's users or admin.

Unless the amount given per month has drastically increased, plinkey is pocketing like $3k/month from people who want their money to help people buy food and get medication for their pets.

Don't know what to do about it though because people itt have said that that is all fine and good as far as they're concerned

1st of all:

Zil posted:

I have donated money to and received money from the fund and I say there should be more transparency and it should not be under the management of a single person. Not because I necessarily distrust you Plinkey, but more so there is more than a single point of failure if something happens to you.
There were a few more posts like this, but I don't have time to find them right now. (Pentyne maybe use your magic?)

There have also been a few posts like this:

FiendishThingy posted:

I posted this in the sagas thread and was asked to post it here as well.

Here's my experience. On June 30th I posted a request and e-mailed him this:

On July 7 I received this reply:

I replied with my Paypal about 30 minutes later and never heard anything back. I e-mailed him again on July 30th

So I figured it was either a scam or I was too much of a lurker to deserve help. I didn't post about it because it seemed like some people were getting help.



2nd: Because of the scope of the fund, you should consider any poster a potential donor or recipient. Anyone's opinion is valid, because anyone could be donating or in need of funds. I would be happy to donate if things were being run better. I guarantee I'm not alone in that feeling.

I'm going to continue to focus on posting in the other thread, and helping to put together the new fund. But could you please stop leveling these disingenuous accusations against anyone who could possibly have a different opinion than you on this. You're literally the guy inserting drama here RN. Take a breath and contemplate this for a bit, I think you just need to re-think. Thank you.
