Because there is always the chance of scam, I can see why GFAQs would just want to avoid the chance of illegal activities entirely.

Still, this entire incident was taken care of in a pretty tremendous way. I mean that in the bad sense.

I'm convinced most of the mods and admins themselves don't even get the ToS, as it's written. They just use a lot of fuzzy logic to say that one thing is "similar" to another and catch a bunch of things in a net, without actually thinking why something falls under a category and why something doesn't.

I just looked through the ToU and can't find anything about charities and the like. The closest I could find is "If a user directly or indirectly profits from a site or link, it may not be posted on the Service.", but that wouldn't prohibit charity awareness.

So technically speaking one of us could ask for donations on someone else's behalf and then prove every cent was handed over.


No. I vaguely referred to Pun's original topic and my topic was deleted for spam. Other users just talked about Pun and their topics were marked for the same thing.

Which stuff in particular? If you mean BIGPUN9999's original topic, that's a pretty clear cut spamming violation and would always be deleted if marked.
Obviously it doesn't matter now, because its exploded and everyone knows just to PM Pun at this point.


this whole thing completely overshadowed the donation thing

I don't think anybody knows to PM me cause I kept getting modded everytime I try to tell them they could

I havne't gotten a PM since the moddings

How does the ToS apply here? It's not stated anywhere, unless it's covered under "If a user is directly or indirectly profiting from a site or link, it may not be posted." But someone raising money for charity doesn't profit, so...


It sucks but it does make sense. I'd rarely be one to defend this site's ToS, but is there actually any way to prove that Cokes was donating the money and not just pocketing it? Not that Cokes would be one of the people I would suspect of that, but there are definitely people who would do it. Better to be safe than sorry IMO.

We can conclude that:

2. The ToS still sucks
3. You can't be nice on this site without getting moderated, which leads back to point 2.

The ToS makes sense. GameFAQs is a business, no matter how you look at it. You can't walk into Safeway or McDonalds and start using that as a forum to collect money for charity. There are a lot of other ways to raise money than through GameFAQs users, though few of them are as easy as sitting in front of the computer and being like "money please?" "ok".

Nah, Luster only uses fake accounts for alt voting in GameFAQs Character Battles.

Well, not anymore.

But as far as his board personality goes, Luster is very forthright. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would deny it if he actually did it.

What about users raising money for charity? Cokes raised money for cancer research a few years ago when he ran the Boston Marathon -- is that moddable?

Yes.

I'm still very curious about the answer to this. There is no direct or indirect profit for a user supporting a legitimate charity.

to be honest I'm not sure >_>

Yea I know I suck, how could I not know, etc.

My dad apparently couldn't pay the yearly fee, so they broke it up into a payment plan

but half way through the year, since he still owed money, he was penalized with a bunch of fees. apparently he was supposed to have paid for all of it before the summer but didn't.

this is all I know at the moment

that and they're gonna take the house because of missed payments and stuff

I don't think 1500 is that much for a house to be taken, compared to most, but this is a small town, I don't think theres any bigger fish to fry and they probably don't have anything better to do

actually yea, its almost a third

you guys have been extremely generous and are on the way to actually saving my house. Its surreal

the upfront payment for the cremation bill kicked all of our asses, but once we get a couple of more checks next month, I think we can all keep up with the payments for everything. including the house

as I've said, my mom is gonna move in, shes been renting a house so that money is gonna go towards our house now

and I've been thinking about moving in myself. this town isn't too far form my current town, we could still keep our jobs.

not only that, we've been cleaning the house and we're planning on having a hugeass Yard sale. My dad had alot of crap

so yea, in the long run we might be okay, but we're getting our asses kicked in the meantime
