freeloading free-for-all on Skins's island?

[franksolich]

Oh my.  New rule, directly from my man Skins.

It's in the supersecret forum, so no link.

We no longer have any rules regarding fundraising.

You (and any other DUers) are free to fundraise without explicit admin approval.
 
Members are advised to use their own judgment in deciding whether to support any fundraising efforts posted here.

Whoa.  My fellow alum didn't think this all the way through; he just thought things to a desired conclusion, and then quit thinking.

I'm not talking about hundreds of primitives suddenly traffic-jamming General Discussion with begs for alms; I'm talking about something else.

<<<thinks things all the way through.

This should result in some interesting threads coming from the island in the future.

It suddenly occurred to me I might've been coming across as coy, teasing, when I didn't mean to.

Blame a searing neckache.

Anyway. 

As we all know, Skins's island is infested with moles.  Skins is no longer going to vett fund-raising appeals.  Any primitive, bona fide or faux, will be able to post a fund-raising appeal.

What if, for example, a mole were to post an appeal on behalf of the now-unemployed brain-damaged primitive?

Too funny,Skins is letting them silence each other via the alert system and now stepping aside to let them fleece each other.
Do you see the pattern here DUmbasses...he is pocketing the money and laughing at you demented fools.

[franksolich]

Well, now it's occurred to me that I screwed up walrus-face.

Some bona fide primitive posts a fund-raising appeal for the brain-damaged primitive, and because I opened my big mouth and because so many primitives lurk here, the primitives'll think their fellow primitive's franksolich's mole, and choose to not donate for the hard-pressed DainBramaged.

<<<should've kept mouth shut.

I haven't seen any indications that the Skin Flint is skimming from the beggar DUmmies, yet. But if too many post about their Pee Pal accounts bulging with purloined dollars, that may change.

As far as the catfights and slap fests emanating from the alert system, it has given the manhaters club something else to do besides complain about the gungeoneers.

[franksolich]

.....to let them fleece each other.

Can you imagine, now that Skins's isn't going to vett appeals, how many moles will be making up hard-luck stories and posting them, garnering beer and cigarette money from the gullible primitives?

[USA4ME]

With the internet being the biggest megaphone ever build, once word gets out (and it eventually will) then all sorts of hard luck cases will be showing up wanting money.

We'll see how long this lasts.

As soon as that happens, and more of the DUmmie hard luck stories go un-Paypalled, the DUmmie masses will rise up and squeal like little piggies to Skins to make 'em stop.

I can't do it myself--the sheer logistics involving using any mole of mine are daunting (because I don't log onto Skins's island from this, my computer here at home; I have to go somewhere else and to a different computer)--but if anybody ever (at any time, not necessarily right now) wants to blow a mole posting a fund-raising appeal, I'll be ecstatically happy to make up a hard-luck story for that member to post over there.

<<<confident can write a whale of a hard-luck story.

Just a cautionary note:

Don't be like the recent DUmmie n00bs here and blab about it all over this forum. Ain't that right HRMJustin?

I meant his revenue from the site and more and more he is getting to a point of not even looking in on his demonic spawn.

When DUmmie pity money starts cutting into skinners pockets....it'll stop.

Only a comment, Carl, no slam on your post. Actually, you are correct. Skinner will act magnanimously up and until the dollars are noticeable flowing past the windows of the High Command Bunker on the island and into the grubby paws of his steaming masses.

The purge of the money hungry infidels at the DUmp will be glorious thing to watch. I'm all atwitter with anticipation.

[Duke Nukum]

It is hard to see how this place still exists after all the scams and purges and 'goodbye cruel worlds.' It is certainly down from its heyday.

What Skins really needs is a Republican President.

Yep, me thinks they are gonna create some sort of DU Wishadoo were he gets a percentage or charges a fee.  Wait for it...

It's been that way since I  joined DU.  I dont' see the problem.  People are free to ignore.

Used to have to have permission. (See Andyscam)
Currently 3 or 4 operating on the Island now, previous one's were talking thousands (on Wishadupe).
Yeah, ignore. Or send healing white light/ healing hands or the ever popular: "Gee, broke too. Can you spare me dime" lament.

How cold, cruel even Republican of you.  Have you sent leftcoast money yet or are you going to set on your rich fat ass and "ignore" his pleading bleats.

Whaaaa? You can ignore a problem you don't like!!!!!????? Like... say... guns?

I agree.  Since the Dems have most of the power in Washington, it is hard for the DUmmies to coalesce around any one idea of what to do or who to criticize (this latest Christie kerfuffle not withstanding).  They need a strong Reagan Republican as the POTUS so everyone can agree to hate one particular thing.

Hey!

Shouldn't you be working? Not frittering away time on your university's dime using the work computer for non-work crap. Quit lollygagging and get back to work! Time thief.

And, I would ask you to send AmberTheWanderingWaif and LeftCoastNumbers some money, but I already know what your answer would be. IGNORER!

[GOBUCKS]

This could put WishaDUpe out of business.

Skimmer will reverse his edict if there's any indication it's cutting into his Valentine heart sales.

I'm sure $kimmer will be evaluating this over the next few months.

I wish the DUmmies actually realized that $kimmer is at heart a CAPITALIST.
