I don't see the need for this Seun. I understand the purpose is to check scammers, but this is a faceless forum and any reasonable person should know that the slogan 'Trust Nobody' is very vital here.


I've not benefited any monetary gain from nairaland but I believe so many people with genuine intents have benefited either via genuine business ideas or by way of soliciting for help.

There will always be fraudsters...but it would seem a bit odd that while the world is talking of crowd funding, Nairaland (one of our leading Internet icons) is talking of muting such a possibility. I understand your concerns, and they are weighty, however, it would amount to biting of our nose to spite our face if such is banned! Let everyone be enlightened and vigilant, but let freedom to choose be extolled! More grease to your elbows!!


quote author=Seun post=38206875]I hereby propose to create a new rule that forbids anyone from asking for money for money - especially investments and donations - on Nairaland later today. The enforcement of this rule will completely block the activities of many scammers. Any objections?[/quote]

it shouldnt be banned. in as much as no one is forced to give out .

@Seun, the above reason is okay to leave out the rule.

Oga Seun, Nairaland is a big family and I think it's not bad for some to ask for money. Even though many abuse it that doesn't mean you block it. Some might be desperate to get money by asking so please don't!
have You ever been scammed b4

We have no really reliable way of distinguishing between genuine needs and those that are not genuine, so I would appeal to people with such needs to rely on other channels of support such as their family members , friends, and churches.

Seun, can you give us an instance where such was abused because to me it's a good thing if people could find help on/through your site, people are really suffering because help is not forthcoming from our cheaters who called themselves our leaders.

So if someone asks for help on something which could be verified, why not help if we can...

why not have in place a team to investigate any such case suspected to be scam? Nairaland is too big to shut it's doors completely to people who seriously need help. You have lots of members who are willing to assist people so pls don't deprive them of the joy of helping.

Seun, In as much as I don't encourage begging or scamming of any nature. I feel begging should not be entirely stopped. Nairaland is like a family, and over the years alot of people have got their needs met through kind individuals on this forum.
Am of the opinion that all forms of begging should be done through a setup committee or channel.

Do you know what it takes to come out and solicit for help?
Especially money?
You think they want to?

I'm in support and on the other hand, I am not


For every scammer scamming under the pretence of being in terrible situation that demand they ask for financial assistance, we should also know that there are people who are truly in terrible situation that put them in a position to ask for financial assistance

If at all somebody wants to beg for money, personally, I think there should be salient evidences from that person so as not to scam the kind hearted cheerful givers

Seun this is my opinion, this is a forum yes but for some its gone beyond that...its become family. Placing such a rule is in some ways very wicked as everyone has a right to make requests and its for us to accept or reject as moral beings an not being placed behind a brick wall without having the luxury of our own input.

As they say, people are innocent until proven guilty, that law would affect fake and genuine alike and thats a bit harsh. Your supermod should be able to work for his or her pay and not having this easy but harsh way out.

Such a law would be draconian. You used the word "proposing" lets all discuss this because the innocent are being judged and affected for doing nothing wrong yet.

My 2 cents.

I agree with banning personal soliciting. Anyone with urgent need can go through tehn. When they verify his/her case, then they announce it and people can donate as moved.
Abeg what is tehn.
Re: Rule 22 Against Asking For Money On Nairaland by Sveen: 6:32pm On Sep 20, 2015
That's simply an excellent idea. However, such rule needs strict enforcement.

Jarus:


It goes beyond that. There's a reputational issue.

In what way? I think seun is underestimating the smartness of people on this forum to decipher who is genuine and who isn't. If you mean, enforcing that rule will give nairaland a better reputation, I don't see how.
Re: Rule 22 Against Asking For Money On Nairaland by yehmi01(m): 6:32pm On Sep 20, 2015
This is the first time I will read a post from Seun.

Nice one.

Well if its to prevent criminals I think its welcomed but for those with true request if you can get a way to confirm this then its welcomed grin

Not ideal @all. Nairaland is a big fami. And in a family, members are free to as and receive assistance in cash or kinds. D difference btwn nairaland and all oda sites or media is d Family bond it has.
Re: Rule 22 Against Asking For Money On Nairaland by bettercreature(m): 6:33pm On Sep 20, 2015
What is Seun's business if people need help and ask for money
He should realise people are using their hard earn money to buy data to browse Nairaland
and i see no reason why people with genuine reason should be banned from asking for help
I disagree

yes...supported. but, we have genuine cases of nairalanders in dire need of money that may actually save their lives. in such cases, Nairalander team should figure put a way of verifying the genuiness of such claims and thereafter put up the account to which paymenst /donations can be made. Any one that puts up an account to which any payments can be made, with the exception of an authorised mod, should be banned! include this in your rules

Begging no be forcing nah.
Olodumare o ni ti ilekun aanu gbogbo wa.Amin.

Ogbenign Seun think well and deep too.Consider so many factors that will make people beg other human like them for help..U might call it desperation but I think it's deeper than that of deeper life.
Never say because of some bad eggs you will close your helping way on other genuine seeker.
Ma ro it is wrong.
