In light of recent events, we have added a new entry to our Forum Rules. It reads:
17. Solicitation of Donations: While we sympathize with people in difficult situations, we are not a public charity or financial-support group, and prohibit direct solicitations of money donations. Such solicitations constitute an abuse of our members. In cases where fund-raising might be appropriate, the cases must be brought to an Admin for consideration. Only Admins can post such an appeal.
Thank you...
