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?

firstEVA:
What happens to those who have genuine urgent needs?
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.

Re: Rule 22 Against Asking For Money On Nairaland by Dexpro: 6:24pm On Sep 20, 2015
Truly, there is no viable way of knowing who genuinely need help or a con artist. You have already made up your mind concerning creating the rule. just go ahead and create it.

Yes Seun.. What about those Nairalanders that might truly need help Any special plan for those.?


I propose you verify the claim of those that makes such request before endorsing the donation. Besides, it's a donation I.e "willingly and not compulsory". We shouldn't stop those that want to help from helping!

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.

You can't take that away from reality.
Re: Rule 22 Against Asking For Money On Nairaland by Nobody: 6:27pm On Sep 20, 2015
Godmother:


Exactly! Seun this won't be a rule, but an infringement sort off. Everyone recognises that this is an open forum and care should be exercised when dealing in money issues. So nobody holds nairaland responsible when something goes wrong. If you enforce this rule you will only succeed in frustrating some genuine people looking for help.

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

This is double-edge sword. As an active member of TEHN, the voluntary network of Nairalanders that decided to coordinate linking helpers to the needy on Nairaland with considerable achievements so far, this rule will not be welcome.

But at the same, I understand where Seun is coming from - abuse of such and damage to Nairaland reputation if anything goes wrong.

Yet, I don't think throwing the baby away with the bathwater is the impediment. Just stricter.

After all, I'm not aware of any case of fraud from donations yet, all cases of frauds on NL are from businesses gone wrong. Do we ban businesses (eg auto section deals) totally because of this?
