I think the people who are most abusive and threatening in their opposition to this idea need to be watched carefully. They are the suspects.

This rule wouldn't prevent any of us from giving. There is no shortage of people who need help in our families, neighbourhoods, churches, etc.

I believe in charity and helping people, but I believe it should be done with the business-like, result-oriented approach of Bill & Melinda Gates.

You sound so like your mind is made up. What exactly do you wish to achieve by shutting down people from helping others through your forum? I have been on nairaland for so many years. I have seen people, users get scammed by venturing into business with other users who were scammers. The education section is on faya with so many threads from very obvious cheap scammers soliciting for "clients". The business section, the auto section, those are not left out. People are scammed daily through your site for doing business. You should concentrate on dealing with that to at least minimise or eradicate it totally.

On the other hand, I am yet to see 3 threads where anyone said he was scammed for donating or investing on a nairalander. Why are you chasing shadows and letting the substance be? Again, what do you stand to gain by stopping users from helping other users and/or their relatives?

You know for all the time scammed people called his name, he never came out like this. Light's case prompted this. He already made the decision before coming here. This thread says alot!

Seun:
I hereby propose to create a new rule that forbids anyone from asking 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?

Anyway no need for that now. As I see tehn is no more.

harrysterol:
ikori is part of yakurr , anyway i'm omer-mer

delishpot:
Seun, please dont do it.
maybe you can create a section for charity so that those who need help can post their needs there and those who are in the mood to give a helping hand can go there scan through posts and decide on whom to help. Then you can start deleting any help or begging topic opened on other sections . That way other users are not bombarded with SOS topics when they come online.

What was the yardstick used in measuring the suggestion of the MOST PEOPLE to warrant your conclusion? The question is but what are the options in giving an answer. I will suggest u create a means where we can vote in respect of this, and the response or options shouldn't just be yes or no. Thanks for your understanding.
