You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

I don't know why people would rather use Patreon than Stripe, both of them take almost zero effort to set up a recurring donation.
Setting up my recurring donation took about 30 seconds.
And considering one of those takes a much smaller cut, there is zero reason to accept Patreon.

an actual UI, being able to cancel easily. which is important in the begging game

its partly hoop jumping ( immediately evocative of any customer service call/CC company experience ) and also you have to directly tell somebody effectively "ehh i dont wanna do charity no more" lol

It’s really not going to convince people on cspam being mostly normal-for-goons and to be trusted to deliver on the promises of the fund.

I see you and I hear you, I've rectified this once again

If it reaches a truly high level ( past whatevers reasonable ) then just ask em write a paragraph that gets posted itt and GBS so people can PM RQC with the quote of that post, get a username or venmo or whatever, send the gift, then turn around send proof back to RQC imo

I don't think this kind of format is set up to handle individual large requests of that magnitude, and doing it at the expense of many smaller requests feels like it goes against the purpose of this fund. Something like a gofundme is much more appropriate for that imo.

right, i think people will be willing to help out, and god knows goon computer touchers mf's have too much money but anonymizing isn't the way to go. gotta spin at least a little bit of a story for a whole 2k lol

Whose to say its not helping one person and letting 25 actual scammers get a pay day? Anecdotal's of someone occasionally saying "Thanks goons" (which still doesn't prove its good faith) don't mean anything.

Means testing sucks rear end don't get me wrong. I have absolutely zero idea how you would keep this system honest without denying people access or making people uncomfortable who need it, but I have a hard time convincing myself to donate knowing some weird russian apologist may be asking for it for no reason other than its free cash.

when u think about it the real scam is the economy op
