Illegal Hen

Lead out in cuffs posted:

I think the problem was that this was tried (recently) and did not work well. The original thread got gassed, and I didn't follow it, but there was some discussion here after the fact.

this is, in fact, not true at all.

The original idea was to have a patreon people would throw money into periodically, people would ask for money from that patreon for reasons x, y, and z, and KM would give out that money at her discretion for reasons such as "this is a good poster and I like them". If you took a step back you can see how easily exploitable this is (especially considering the one and only person to ask for money in that thread was KM).

It's a much simpler idea to just encourage TGRS posters to save their money and make a thread where people can post their PayPals/GoFundMes/etc. when they're in great need instead of going thru a bunch of middlemen, and I'm not sure why this hasn't been implemented yet.
