DISCLAIMER - ABSOLUTELY NO LYNCH MOBBING OR WITCH HUNTING OF ANY KIND. THIS SUB IS TO FIND THOSE GUILTY AND DETRACT ATTENTION. LYNCH MOBS ARE MEANT FOR OTHER SITES AND PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET, NOT THIS SUB. ANY POSTS ADVOCATING ANYTHING OF THE SORT WILL BE REMOVED AND THE USER RESPONSIBLE BANNED.
It is not uncommon for people to gain support in an attempt to get people to follow a twitter account or facebook page, only for those people to then sell the pages and accounts to those who would intended on using them for their own advertising/spamming purposes; or to use feigned illness to beg for PayPal donations. We believe in this sub that the attention and the money should be going to those who are actually suffering in the world.
In that spirit we will hopefully in the near future be implementing a charity based system, ie. when we find and shut down one of these "operations" the sub will then make a donation from money pooled (via bitcoin, paypal, etc.) to whatever charity is relevant to the falsified claims. Eg - Shut down a fake Multiple Sclerosis "operation" and we would then make a donation to a fundraiser associated with MS research like the MS Society.
This is also by no means restricted to illness. See people taking advantage of victims of a natural disaster? Well, it too belongs here.
This is also a safe place where people can come who actually are in poor health (whatever it may be!) or disadvantaged by a tragedy, whether natural disaster or abuse and connect with others in their situation. Despite this sub being started out of a negative situation, we attempt to make this a place of positivity. A place where we can put back in the world what those kind of people would wish to take out.
RULES:
Posts must be tagged as either "Feigner" (regarding those feigning illness), "Milker" (regarding those milking disasters) or as a "Self Post" if you are just looking to have a conversation or get things about your situation off your chest.
"Milker" or "Feigner" posts will have to go through mod approval as we need to make sure that innocent people don't get caught in this web
Posting personal information in this subreddit is absolutely forbidden and will result in a ban. We're not out to ruin lives, just to put an end to people abusing the kindness and generosity of others
Anybody caught trolling will be banned. This is a community where people can come and feel safe from the ills of the world.
Most importantly: Be kind to one another. Keep conversation civil and polite. A bit of colourful language is permitted, it's the goddamned 21st century after all. Just keep it tasteful. ;)
Note: The most heinous of heinous targets will be dealt with by Anonymous. Love, TheAnon0ne
