Well, I just wanna get something off my chest. This is posted in the charity also!

Miserie is not a money tree.
I've made a lot of new friends lately, and I've gotten an average of 10+ messages a day of people asking for money. I accept friend requests because I like to think that people actually, genuinely want to get to know me, and 4/5 times, that's not been the case. Now, I run a charity for a reason, so there's a controlled bloodletting...er...gold...letting. I don't want to just be hemorrhaging gold every day.

So here's the dilly.
I will no longer be doing donations to ANYONE unless either they're next in line for this charity or I CHOOSE TO! If you ask, I will ignore it. I don't wanna be asked for money anymore. Really, truly, I do not.

If you're 500 gold off of finishing your quest, yeah, you know what, then you can ask. If you need 15k for a tome, don't PM. Get over 10k and we'll talk.

You guys know of my general distaste towards getting PMs less it's necessary as it is!

So here's the deal:

IF you're currently on my friend list, and you PM me asking for money, unless in a similar situation to the one above (Close to a goal...), you will be warned. 3 strikes is what you'll get. Then you'll be removed from my friends list. Please guys...don't make me change my settings to have only certain people be able to pM me...I don't like the idea.

ALso, I ask that my charity thread staff ( [Yamato Ishida], MoriganChideeba, Mimi Tachigawa Ishida, SweetPumpkinPie ) stop receiving requests for gold/items/etc. EVery single one of them puts all they can into our charity, and they barely keep gold for themselves if they want a shiny. DO NOT PM MY STAFF ASKING FOR DONATIONS! You can contact them about the things they do for this thread, just no asking for straight up donations. Doing so will be 1 strike, that simple. If you're on the charity list, you will be removed, and risk being blacklisted.

These guys are my friends, IRL, and it's very important to me that they not get harassed for donations. If you're gonna harass someone, harass me, not them. You'll at least not get blacklisted in 1 strike.

I'm just sick of being begged. It makes me sad. I'm gonna have to take off my sweet avy that I FINALLY completed and dress in more normal items so as to receive less random PMs asking for money. Prolly will get less hackers trying to scam me too. BUt it's really not fair that I bust my hump to make art and I share 90% of my profits, and as payment, I gotta NOT wear the items I saved up for, and I gotta make posts like this. I could cry, seriously.

If this has nothing to do with you, feel free to ignore it. And this can only NOT be applied to you if
1. We've had geniune conversation on multiple occasions
2. I know you IRL...
3. You got my LUFFS ( You know who you are <3 )

If you're uncertain of your standing, reply here or at the charity thread.

Hope this saves people from sending the friend requests when they're just gonna beg. And don't bother sending me scam PMs as well. I've been around this world wide web long enough to not get caught up in all that noise.

EDIT: SOOOO wearing my laurels though! I did 12 pieces of art to get those!
