Hey @markwhittam great post by the way. We need to address this so when people stumble upon @familyprotection they will immediately realize that this is a seriuos operation which you & @canadian-coconut have put your heart and hours towards.
What Will Happen If I Don't Give Back?
Then ignore them. There is a [mute] function on Steemit for a reason. If someone is being outright selfish and unhelpful to the community, leave them be, they don't deserve the attention in my opinion.
Excuses
You are right @markwhittam no excuses unless they are in a serious situation like the woman you were talking about who was fighting kidnappers.
If you are part of this community you share rewards with the communal account!
I was recently approached to guide an Indonesian friend in the ways of @familyprotection, before even writing a post he already donated SBD to the cause! What a great guy!
Thank-you @chron for your generous cryotocurrency donations directly to our Bitshares DEX wallet -- family-protection.
You are a wonderful young man.
I try and help the people around me @canadian-coconut 😉
You are raising funds for a great project! I am honored to donate 💰
Thanks for your feedback @chron, I like your thinking and it feels like we are on the same page =)
It's a shame that I have to do these rants but sometimes it's needed.
We have had an influx of Nigerians who are "donating" SBD thinking we are a vote buying service, because of this, we think it's better to only donate a proportion of rewards from a successful post because there is no garentee that we find the post valuable to our cause and what was happening with the Nigerians was that we didn't upvote their post and they were asking for their "donating" back.
All will be explained in my up and coming "we are not a vote buying service post"
Thanks @chron!
I told the indonesian guy he didn't need to donate. He said he liked the cause so he did it anyway.
Another thing I would like to address to you @markwhittam is that this post you created is very confusing to non-english speakers.
I have sent it to two people and they both made the same mistake.
When you said that @familyprotection is not about Domestic violence, Drug addiction, rape, Homelessness, etc.
Both the people I sent this post to created a post which was about the above topics. I do not know how you can be more clear - I just wanted to point that out for you.
Thanks for your service to @familyprotection!
