lol, what baggage? Past events were shown to be clearly just a bunch of bored rear end goons destroying something good because they could. I'm not trying to relitigate the past, but this continual shaming of the Plinkey fund is some bullshit.
I hope this fund does great things and has a giant amount of success, but statements like "past events" and "baggage" aren't helping you. See, my takeaway is you are talking about the original fund, maybe you are talking about the people that went completely insane and destroyed it? I don't know. Squishy words like that are dangerous, you are using them because you are trying to dance around an issue, just say what you mean. I honestly don't know if you can even get the original donor base back because a lot of them aren't even on SA anymore. It takes time to build up a large donor base giving small donations that equate to a large pool of money...

I personally have a few goons that I venmo money to now, so I won't be doing recurring donations to the fund like I was in the original one. I doubt I'm alone. This is a case of you broke it, you fix it.

How very leftist of you to gloat about people starving because your friend was asked to provide basic accountability.

How about an excuse to bump the thread with some much-needed positivity? Just put in a one-time donation and set up a small recurring payment as well.

That's awesome, thank you. :cheers:

It may be worth asking Pragmatica if she's willing to mention the thread in her monthly announcements about threads to check out. Not official staff association or endorsement but it gets a lot of eyes on it so it might be a nice middleground.

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.

Gotta love the financial backbone of the world being a goddamn mess to navigate and utilize properly and even when you do everything right they still dick you over sometimes.

Thank you for all of your hard work.

drat that's a hard question. Lots and lots of goon things have had account age or postcount requirements but it's a really tricky line to draw. I don't think you can really set a specific number for a cutoff even.
