Why would you see it? It was done in private, but they usually don't get contacted at all.
They either go straight in the trash without notification or the person gets a ban but I thought I'd do the nice thing and nicely ask him to remove it rather than trash the entire thing. It's really not done selectively. I think everyone should be treated the same and people shouldn't be begging for money here. I would urge people to report any begging threads and we'll probably stop a lot of scams from happening in the first place.
How would you call collecting donation to develop new forum software that was never delivered like promised?

My point was that I saw so many obvious examples of people asking for donations in this forum and this was never considered a begging.
Now I understand if you want to make an example from yahoo, but I would like to hear opinion from theymos about it.
I don't think that thread should have been there but two wrongs don't make a right.
Dude, are you serious?!This thread is still very much there as well as their ''donation'' address

You could just have a friend or even an alt account make the suggestion.
So you are now saying that he used some of his alt accounts for this, and for what....to get around $100 worth of BTC in donations I am really surprised and sad to hear all this from Global Moderator
He got much more of these thousands. And possibily millions if rich people like stake.com or bitsler will see it.
It has perfect story to induce empathy.
