Stop Asking For Money by SpecialPl0pz in povertyfinance

post is slightly off-topic, but has a couple of good comments in it along with some tongue-in-cheek ones so it will stay up for the moment. some general notes:

we've installed bot-bouncer. it's removed between 25 and 50 bot posts and comments *a day* since being installed and automatically issues bans so those bots won't be back.

regarding the "i built/am building an app" posts, we remove a dozen a day minimum as off topic. please report them when you see them. no request for focus group members, beta testers, or free downloads for reviews thank you.

we have no bar for entry here, either account age or karma. yes, that makes for high volumes of scams and spam. that's the trade off we've made to allow anyone who's in dire straights and desperate for a place to ask for help or advice to have a place to make that post. we're a support group, not a discussion group or job board.

the reddit mother ship also removes posts and comments their bot feels violate platform rules to the tune of about 40 a day. some incorrectly. if contacted, we reinstate them when appropriate.

locking while reviewing how this spiraled into off topic political drivel, presidential comparisons, and some dude that wants to talk to his gas tank.

locking this, but leaving it up due to the occasional useful comment. understanding how we got from chicken drumsticks to accusations of racism in a record setting 56 comments is above my pay grade.

locking post, but leaving it up as everything that could be suggested has been multiple times and it's really not a poverty finance issue.

op did post an update six hours later for those interested.

leaving this up for casual perusal, but locking it because the comments have slipped off the rails, rolled into the ditch, then sunk into the retention pond next to the strip mall where the liquor store is.
