Meh. It's not working. I have a better idea: a separate subforum just for begging threads.
Donations?
Charities?
Sending bitcoins for some good cause?
Plese do begiving me some bitcions for my honest battle against the evil dictator?
---> to the begging section! Grin

Who would actually post in that forum? It'd just be a trollfest. And we kinda did have a begging section - it was called the newbiejail  Grin.

It seems like there has been a lot of begging threads recently.

I'm sure begging threads will only grow over time as Bitcoin gets more mainstream attention.  I think this is why the newbiejail was a good idea. At least they were quarantined then and could be dealt with quicker.




Bookmarked. I'll use that in future  Grin.

Concur!

Could this be implemented if it were a pole and we voted?

Wow, that's some customized address you have there! How long did it take you to make it in VanityGen?  Shocked It would take me like 100 years!

The address is not even valid...


Kinda like your OP LOL

Funny thing is, I was being completely serious. I am so gullible.  Cheesy

So is this the case, no begging now?

I thought we could express anything other than calling for acts of violance.

I have seen mods edit peoples posts so searched for this. Anyway odd there is a note about not removing scams but you guys get rid of begging...



I don't usually delete being posts, just remove the addresses and make a note.  I make notes on potential scams as well.

Some begging threads are really entertaining. We should have a section where all the begging threads go, and trolling those threads is allowed and encouraged.

I agree with this, I also think that Moderators should be able to move threads to the Begging section (if they can't already) and that the Begging section should be a subsection under Newbies.

Why? Two reasons, so that Newbies can post begging threads which we can make fun of, and so that Newbies can troll on begging threads.

I was just joking when I said this. We could maybe post a list of begging threads for the fun of it, but making fun of newbies is just wrong.

Wow. Now I feel like a total noob (again).  

While trapped under the newbie dome, there was a thread, some guy asked for 1 BTC.  I thought all these nice people had actually given him 1BTC each.  (In my defense, I offered a 400-500 word article for 1BTC).

You guys need to be a bit more clear with your snarkiness (at least in that forum).  How else will we newbies learn the rules of the road?  Its real tempting to beg when it looks like some guy got 5BTC just for having the balls to ask for it.

*slinks away in shame*

I agree. We shouldn't stereotype someone just because they are asking (begging) for money. C'mon guys, you know you were just joking, right?

Like the title says, we need a no begging policy around here.

Or are we the kind of suckers that will give the fish instead of teaching them how to handle a fishing pole?

Beg 1 time, get a warning.
Insist on begging, BAN the fucker.

If people are banned for off-topic posts, they should be banned for begging.
Also, if you notice carefully, 99% of the beggars will turn out to be scammers. <--- Reason enough for this policy

Your thoughts about this?


Can someone donate to "Help Psytard Get Laid" fund.

A few BTC will get him a high quality gay crack whore.

Send donations to 1QGetPsytardLaidQa977LJ3YHXXW8B

If you don't like begging, hit the IGNORE button.

In all seriousness, anyone who isn't a cripple or dying has no right to beg.

Begging is what you do when you have no options. It is not a fall-back for when you don't feel like looking for a job, being creative, or fixing the problems in your life.

I see people on this forum begging for money who have cars, TVs, houses, etc and actual skills. I see others who are able bodied young men who could be mowing lawns if it weren't for their wild egos.

Let's face it. Begging should be looked down on and thought of as an absolute last resort for someone next to death. I highly doubt the internet provided lazy trailer trash on here often begging for Bitcoins could be doing some mundane task to earn them as well.

What we really need is not a begging subforum, but a part-time-job subforum where people can do small internet-based workloads for small bitcoin fees. You know, like Mechanical Turk.

Where is your creativity people?

Technically, we are all dying, albeit very slowly.

I say let them beg, after all, being able to share addresses online is one of the fundamental advantages of bitcoin...

Please, please, please, can we have a no begging policy.  Grin
Actually, I don't care.

er, isn't this very post a begging post? Smiley
I think he was being intentionally begging-like to imply sarcasm Smiley
