What is the rule on posting threads about donations?

[Craig234]

For example, donations to a disaster relief fund, or an 'issue' fund, or a political campaign?

My current example is that UNRWA is asking for donations for relief for the man-made disaster in Gaza.

I don't know how you could possibly get in trouble if all you wanted to do really was making a post about "UNRWA is asking for donations for relief for the man-made disaster in Gaza."

2. Spamming - What constitutes spamming can be but is not limited to "A message (typically an advertisement) sent indiscriminately to a wide set of discussion lists [forums] or newsgroups” [Google]. Also, any message or series of messages promoting a product, site or service made by a member who does not demonstrate the intention and willingness to participate in the normal discourse of the DPMB can be considered spamming. Spamming and/or spam bots will not be tolerated and can result in immediate banning of the spammer.​

​

10. Advertisements - Advertisements in posts will be considered spam and deleted. We currently do not accept any form of advertising and rely on donations to support our forum.​

Annnd depending on what you said,

The UNRWA is a surrogate of Hamas. Sending cash to the UNRWA is no different than sending cash to Hamas.

My current example is that UNRWA is asking for donations for relief for the man-made disaster in Gaza.

That begs the question of which men made the disaster.

You know that big building at 42nd St and 1st Ave? Those guys. All of them.

I think what Craig wants to know is if he can post the links to send the donations. So to phrase this more broadly for clarity, can I post a thread with links to ask for donations for
1. UNICEF
2. American Cancer Society
3. The Red Cross Disaster Relief Humanitarian aid,
4. United Hatzalah Israeli Relief
5. UNRWA

By the way, I don't have any opinion on these answers. I won't complain wherever the Moderator team says the line is. but this series of questions is designed as food for thought

Since you have me on "virtual ignore", you might not be able to read the following.

To everyone else, posting a link to a donation site is frowned upon. Mentioning that a group is seeking donations is not.
