Soliciting for donations

Soliciting for money: And I think one of the things I have to limit right now is people joining to just to ask for money to be donated to them. There is too many scammers out there to allow that. So no soliciting for money.

For those who genuinely need financial help: You could build relationships with people that get to know you and trust you and ask them individually. Or promote your business or you could join the businesses of many of the people here and use that to raise money while offering reward. (please see tab guidelines/advertising)

Many of us also wanna help people in need but it's just tough online to tell if it is really a genuine need. Or even if the people are real (unless you've really built a relationship with them) I'm trying to cut off the spammers, the individuals that join and say please, send me $5000 US dollars to bury my dad or $50 because my house burned down or I need to raise $3000 to start a business. ..etc And I want to warn everyone to be very careful of anyone asking for money but does not give value, contribute, network or is someone that you have not gotten to know personally.

Foundations for certain causes are allowed. That's pretty much like a non-profit business. They also can be somewhat varifiable. They could be advertised or promoted using the guidelines in the Guidelines/advertising tab.
