Title: No panhandling. No soliciting. No fundraising.

This site is private property. No panhandling. No soliciting.
So, don't park at our intersection with a sign.

I know the situation sucks in the US and other places. People can't afford their surgeries or even HRT and other transition costs. But many of our members are in the same boat. So, be courteous and don't stick your hand out to people who can't afford their own surgeries. It's bad form.

You know that feeling you get at the intersection with the guy holding a sign standing by the side of the road staring you down? Well, that's you when you come on here with your hand out. No fundraising pleas! No 'go fund me', none of it. Nada.

10 years later this is still a current policy...
          No fundraising please! No 'go fund me', 

In most instances it ties in with our Terms Of service rule  TOS#7
 
  Refrain from promoting external websites, except when permitted: To maintain
  the focus of our community, unsolicited advertising or promotion of external
  websites is generally not allowed, unless it's relevant and approved.
    — [TOS 7]
