I have a suggestion but actually i dunno what reactions is gonna cause. I got some strong arguments but I don't think I can express it the way so that all can understand. Here it goes : First of all, almost all the members are troubled...some getting scammed by members here(happens rarely but still DOES happen), some being frozen and some overused some programs on this forum... Why not make a FUND? A level V neopets account collects the donations (those who want to help) and the person who actually needs the neopoints for rebuilding will make a request based on screenies, videos and finally a vouch from a High Level/Staff of Neofriends community. To get back to the point, it will help a lot and it will strongly bond us more, not emotionally but FINANCIALLY. WE may become a Major Neopets Super Power. However, the system is not flawless. I wanted to make this suggestion a long time ago but I knew nobody would listen to me being a newbie although it's not much of a difference now Finally, I want to know your own opinion about this suggestion. It is good enough to be transferred to the Suggestion Tab? Will it work? At least temporally? Can I be the right hand man of this if it were to be applied? Let's not throw in the towel yet and make a debate about this :yup:
the one fatal flaw is icings If the account gets iced, everything is lost. And then the whole idea fails.
We can make some regulations. This idea can separate as from other Cheating Neopets Related Forums (although this is my only active forum right now) The first set of rules regarding the account must be : - limited amount of neopoints - no cheating, restriction in using it in personal gains - limited information posted regarding it.
Well, tbh there doesn't need to be a fund for it you could have a stickied thread where requests are made, maybe a mod to review submissions and once they are approved it could be open to the public to make donations. I wouldn't mind giving people a helping hand to have enough to autobuy, but we should be working on making sure people are trading safely. What kind of numbers are we talking about anyways? autobuying maybe takes 100-200k to have sufficient for most shops. This idea does have some merit though, taking it further we could have someone create a couple accounts for the site to keep in stock and age them appropriately (ie. 3 monthers), then get maybe 100-200k on them through donations or whatever, and when someones been scammed and verified through some kind of process the details of the accounts and emails can be donated to the scammed individual?
Scamming is certainly not THAT prevalent, and if you are really that worried the solution is simple, use a middleman (a suitable rank, of course). Furthermore, there have been a few instances where a few members have paid out of pocket to reimburse someone for their losses. If you see someone who got scammed, just send some nps their way or something. Absolutely no need for an account to store all this, it's just begging to get iced
