Navigating Generosity Safely: Understanding Soliciting Rules on Online Communities

Not medical advice. For emergencies, call your local emergency number.

This Reddit post from r/SingleParents addresses a common issue in online communities: the line between genuine support and soliciting. The post emphasizes that rule number 3 explicitly prohibits soliciting of any kind, including sharing Amazon wishlists, GoFundMe links, or other direct financial requests. While the intent behind offering help is often positive, the moderators highlight the risk of scams and state that they cannot intervene if users are defrauded. Any posts found to be soliciting will be removed, and the user banned. This serves as a crucial reminder for community members to exercise caution and to adhere to community guidelines to maintain a safe and trustworthy environment for everyone.
