Public Record Fund (in General)


BootyGod June 7 2006 2:39 PM EDT

Founders: MaLicious and G-Wolf
Due to lack of appearance by MaLicious
th00p will be the new second in command.

This is an organization that me and MaL decided to form because we believe that even though the forum does not give items / cash back (understandable so) we believe that many players should still get something to make the loss of goods easier to bear. We have made a character under my account named "Public Record Fund". We just wanted to state here that this is a completely non-profit Fund and we will take no tax or income of any kind from it. We are doing this solely because we want to make the better place (as I am sure many of you will hate us for).

We would gladly accept any and all donations from any player willing to contribute. It can be tiny (but cash only please) or large. This is to increase the amount of people we can help. Also I want to state that who we help out will be completely up to me and MaL and we will not be swayed by anything other then our personal decision on a case by case basis on to who gets what. This is to make sure we are not accused of bias or any other form of scamming.

The character to send all donations to is: Public Record Fund

Once again only with a deal that was broken in PR can we take any interest in a case. Also just because you lack money or are "poor" we will not give money to you. Also do not try to scam us by getting you and your friend to get together post a faulty PR and then ask for money. If we notice anything like that we will of course not send anything and never send you anything in case something did happen.

Thank you for your time.

Note: a link to a thread will always be needed in order to prove you lost out on money.

Note 2: We will be keeping tabs on who donates so we can take it into account if that person ever gets scammed. If anyone wants to check whos donated what to check my biography.

Note 3: Just to let everyone know it has nothing to do with how much you send to show your generosity. A player with 50k who sends 25k is just as generous as a player with 1 mil who sends 500k. At least in theory. So just in case anyone has scoffed at other or will about how much they send.... please do NOT do so. Thank you.

Added guidelines:
There will no NO questioning of them. If you don't like them, let us see the problems ourselves and fix if we deem necessary.

Guidelines for now:
below 100k we will give no more then 80%
500k and below no more then 75%
1 million and below no more then 60%
5 mil and below no more then 50%

Now those are very rough guidelines. If I find or MaL finds a problem we will adjust accordingly. Also notice we gave no minimum. We may have very good reasons for giving substantially less and we will not feel compelled to give the maximum amount. Also existing funds will have a role in who gets what as will if that persons has donated (though the difference will be small and the amount donated will matter little so to make sure that people dont feel they have to donate large amounts to be treated fairly).

Due to the fact that many people seem to either not know this or not care we are restating this fact. You are entitled to a refund whether or not you have donated to the fund. But we do still need donations to keep us going. So if you are scammed it does not matter if you have donated or not. You are still entitled to a refund

The Fund badly needs money as I know of at least two semi-definite scams that I want to help cover, but there just is no way with what we have. I will dip into my personal savings if need be, but I would prefer this be a community fund, not just one player with money. So I would like to see a new flow of donations. Thanks in advance for all your help.

That is for your link Shade. But I am already aware of that and am currently trying to get into contact with Pretty Dotson and edyit about it.

I thank very much the two people who donated but the fund desperately needs more cash. Please send a little something. Even if it isn't much if everyone sends a little it adds up.

The fund is now taking item donations. These items will be kept and special charity donations will be held to put these items up for sale and hopefully raise money for the funds. The stronger the items the better, because no one wants to spend money on a war hammer ;). So for you people who do not have extra cash, send the fund that base lesser tat hanging around. Thanks in advance once again for all your generous donations and help.

Not sure why the fund should pay someone who lost nothing over an unpaid bet? A defaulted loan that's backed up by a PR post is another matter though.

I have to agree. If someone is scammed out of a bet and they didn't lose anything that they already had, there is no reason for it to be covered by this fund.

You two bring up good points. The final decision rests on me and th00p but... I will do some talking to see. I already said I would try to repair some of their "loss" and I am loathe to go back on my word but eh. We'll see.

Small donation sent in, because, after all, it is partially my decision on where the money goes. Just so that all you guys don't criticize me for not caring!
