-
- Moderator Pinning Rules:
a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.
I remember being a kid not old enough to be in kindergarten and watching the house across the street burn down from my bedroom window. It was an old construction and pretty much all the firefighters did was keep it contained so it didn't spread to the house to the left and right of it.
By the time the fire was "out" it just looked like a huge fire pit, nothing was standing. Nobody died though.
It was mildly unsettling walking around the place where a house was and finding the random thing that somehow didn't get burned to nothing. I remember looking at a wooden spoon and being kind of amazed.
Good luck to your people!
I walked past a house on fire once at night. The whole family was out on the street in their pyjamas watching their lives go up in flames and what didn't burn get destroyed by the fire hoses.
It was awful.
