There's a qcs thread about it. Basically it's a zero accountability one man show that people still find useful and helpful, so we just wanted to make it clear that it's not in any way forums endorsed or guaranteed.

Then he needs to figure out a way to have basic accountability without that. There's plenty of mutual aid funds, food shelves, and other small charitable projects that can and do make it work with funds at or below what he takes in. He's been offered help from multiple people on this front, he should take any one of those people up on it.

You didn't say anything. You were thinking out loud by your own admission, who cares. Go do something about it instead, the framework's down, you have your thread and it even has a big ol' thumbs up from the admins, like I said you've caught the car so figure it out, what good does 6 paragraphs of nested hypotheticals do? Go go go there's no time to lose!

didn't you have a meltdown last time the trump thread was gassed?

Good soup! posted:

transparency is a good thing for charitable efforts that have grown like this and it's cool that goons can get the help they need, community oversight to ensure the money is being disbursed properly doesn't sound like an outrageous thing at all

Hey it's the Jordon Peterson loving freak, why the gently caress are you unbanned?

Goons go cold and hungry and people cheer that as a victory

ppl were asking questions about transparency and accountability long before pyf/qcs caught wind of it

Oh by the way for people who actually post in cspam the rules against forum invasion are so strict that you get probated for quoting a post from D&D. You don't even have to post there, just it's against the rules to even quote a post from another subforum.

Plinkey posted:

you're welcome, and brave

I'm gunna post some emails that I've gotten since like Thursday and when I was out of town over the weekend, but this to me is completely unacceptable, people are afraid to post in this thread now











good job everyone

nah, we need to see records, emails, documentation!

if you want to help goons who need aid, give to the fund and support it or shut the gently caress up.

if you already support the fund and you think plinkey's not trustworthy, then present literally any real evidence or just stop giving and shut the gently caress up.

if you don't give to the fund and won't because you have concerns or "concerns", put this energy towards helping people in other ways irl and shut the gently caress up

if you don't actually care about this but need some drama online, then shut the gently caress up but also log off and examine your life

if you think animalstrash was making an accusation of theft you should re-read his post

Xaris posted:

But again, there's been a long history of scams from even seemingly well-intentioned/popular goons that it's also prudent to ask for some semblance of transparency about these matters that it's only the smart thing to do and not take it personally in any way whatsoever: it's just forum case-histories have made things be in that unfortunate position.

RandomBlue posted:

Anyone can put numbers in a spreadsheet, they mean literally nothing and will not convince anyone of anything. The concern trolls will continue with this bullshit regardless.

Unless there is actual auditing going to happen it's just appeasement.

Cup Runneth Over posted:

I'd like to see some basic accounting too, but it's not hard to understand how posting about it in bad faith even if you mean what you say is not constructive and really just amounts to making GBS threads on a guy who never volunteered for this bullshit. The fund is a black box, but if there were any flaw in the testimonials, or they were not numerous, I'm confident we wouldn't have heard the end of it from the PYF crew, so clearly it's helping people.

WampaLord posted:

Yup, every single thing Plinkey has done has been lovely and gross. Trying to help out people? The shittiest and grossest thing one can do. Did you all know he's gambled? Like wagered money? IN AMERICA?!?!?!?!

A big flaming stink posted:

Jeff's demand of plinkey was hosed up, imo. Plinky is one of the few people on this forum who has made a genuine and effective effort to make this world a better place, and to use that as justification to place a greater burden on him is dumbfuck as hell.

Send Plinky a DM to check
