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?

Have a begging section.

There is no clear line to draw. Donations towards a common project should still be allowed. Would Bitcoin100 be considered begging? Couldn't beggars circumvent this by "selling" pictures of smiley faces they drew in MSPaint?

I am inclined to just leave it at moderator's discretion.

I would however support a rule which permits trolling of begging threads. Cheesy

Ofourse Bitcoin100 isn't begging. Far from me to think something like that.
I was talking more about guys registering and start begging the same day. Those are the ones that turn out to be scammers most of times. The pattern is there if you look closely.

I also support the rule which permits trolling of begging threads. Ofcourse threads like Bitcoin100 should be excluded from that rule Cheesy

I tend to agree, though I usually don't delete them unless I'm annoyed by them.
