I'm sure that there are people who do this, because CSPAM folks do it with other subforums. I think the goonfund concerns were valid. Anyways if you are still interested in that kind of stuff you should check out the new one here. The OP also managed to unionize their store, and seems to be taking a more transparent approach with all of that.

I genuinely hope that people who depend on the goon fund actually don't get screwed out of this somehow. Even if something should be better, any attack on the charity does come at the cost of those who depend on it.

In seriousness, if something happens to the fund, I strongly recommend creating another more legit fund before you completely remove that one. People do need help.

Should've been left as is for now until something better could be stickied in replacement, even if it's got problems.

I think there's valid concerns but Plinkey is a good person. It just seems like the drama is manufactured.

It's probably going to get absorbed into the Trump thread or Plinkey does it exclusively through DMs.

I get that, but they should have left it at the message in the OP being "This Fund Isn't Supervised By SA Staff, Use At Your Own Risk" and the community should work on a more official fund. When that gets going, THEN unsticky that one. This hurts the people the least.

There was definitely an element of "lol look what's going on in CSPAM now, loving losers" from some people but otoh there have been asking for transparency and more accountability in that fund long before the QCS stuff happened. The fact that there was no real defense to why changes couldn't be made aside from getting defensive and telling people to gently caress off and make a new one if they don't like how Plinkey's doing it didn't do the it any favors. Having the fund centralized around one person with no real oversight (all while donations are being eaten into by Patreon) just looks bad when observing it from the outside, especially considering it was stickied.
