Begging for money

[Darkness]

Well, it's really for the mods to decide. I don't recall anything like this happening before, so we may be setting new policy here.

Not sure what the Admins will decide but personally, I think that unless you are a webmaster of an RPG-related site (at least as much as those other guys, that is) or who needs support for your site, or someone organizing a con or needing stuff for a group abroads (like these soldiers in Bosnia), it's probably not acceptable to ask for money in EN World.
Still, be aware that such a thread is basically spam. (If you are asking for money, at least.)

Or maybe (no, make that maybe) if your existence or health is threatened - but that would have to be decided on a case-by-case basis (also, in that case, ask whether it's okay first).

Also, unless the thread is very necessary, I'd take a dim view of bumping such a thread (no matter whether by the thread starter or not) more often than once a week (and for longer than a couple weeks) - whether by an open bump or "topical" one. (Trust me, I can tell whether a post is a bump. )
So I'd advise the starter of such a thread to make it interesting enough to stay on the first couple pages on its own.

tleilaxu doesn't seem to fit any of these categories anyway, though.

While I'd be glad to help a group of lonely and bored soldiers stationed far from home, I'm not so interested in helping out a student club. But maybe I'm grumpy.

They seem to be the grumpy and rude ones...
