Hi Berge:

This is just the sort of thing that I'm very uncomfortable with and I do not believe we should allow on our site. I believe it is a mistake to allow any requests for money from our members even if the cause is good.

Best wishes,
Mason

MM,

I planned to do an unofficial bbv christmas drive. The idea would be just post a screenshot or explain a good deed you did on christmas (give a bum a hot meal, donate a grand to charity, etc). It wouldn't be soliciting donations for a specific organization.

Would that be ok?

In general I think it's wrong to be asking our members for money. If you want to talk about your good deeds, that's a little different as long as the money aspect of the equation is not part of it.

Best wishes,
Mason

It's hard not to attach money value to it when the forum is called 'brags, beats and variance'.

And nobody would be asking anyone for money, it would be encouraging people to do something nice for someone over the holidays with no necessary monetary value required. If that's $1000 to a charity, great. If it's volunteering at a soup kitchen for $0, even better.
