2017 Christmas Fundraiser. Everyone is invited and has a say so!

(staff edit; thread removed; ztonk)

Soliciting donations is not allowed on the site.

I'm discussing this in the staff area to ensure that I took the proper action here. If not, the thread will be restored.

Soliciting donations is what this website is built on. The op was doing a good thing. Its silly that this got shut down.

It's certainly a good thing that the OP is trying to do. This is just not the place to promote such things.

What about poker parties?????

ZTonk, can you please tell me how to do it the right way then. I knew a few years ago Whispers had his Christmas parties and we’re on the co-we section.
How can I post a fundraiser without being solicitation?
Thanks
Dara

There is no right way. What was allowed in the past is no longer permitted. No fundraisers or donation drives are allowed.

Disappointed but not surprised.

I guess no one understands how cyber bullying affects others. This week my favorite porn Star August Ames committed suicide for that reason. I’m sure I’ll get pointed for talking about a death or something.

Either way Holidays to all! 🎄

Keep RTMing them. It does help behind the scenes even though the results are not immediately obvious publicly.

People take this shit too seriously. I know things can get heated at times, but lately it been all the time. I like to kid and have fun for the most part, no malice intended.

The fundraiser was a good thing, I hope you get enough to do what you want to.

Based upon past events I understand the objection. However, what if a Provider included something in their ad regarding a discount for bringing a toy, personal items, etc. towards helping out a shelter or whatever?

Then, if they have a website, post a link to a list of items needed or some other details.
