and perhaps a vaccine to those who have such a mentality@smooth a valid comment yes
we do help fellow Steemians when they go through rough times eh?
however.. we won't survive as a community if we keep helping those who are in such a situation neither would they dependence would easily grab a person of his ability to survive.
I remember someone asking for a certain donation back then - it was even a valid reason as well and I read a few replies on fellow Steemians that it turns them off that it is often happening here. The sad part is only a few had shown trasparency about what happened to the donations they gathered.
and .. check your chat please I left you another reminder :P
the chain should be open for review at least as far as this platform is concerned, plus not everyone is a good bookkeeper to take their time and write everything down for transparency's sake. Some prey on that, I'm sure somebody has been scammed ( @tpos I'm zeroed for 4 games 30 I made I lost :D where is the next one :P) but yeah so far people should be careful, there were some "attacks" and some accounts were locked or whatnot a few months ago.
