- Moderator Pinning Rules:
a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.

I do, in fact, utilize my local food bank, thanks. I also would utilize rental assistance if it weren't for the fact that we are meant to pay rent in 9 days and our local system doesn't move that fast. Secondly, in order to take out a $20,000 loan, you need a much better credit score than I have, my friend. I am disabled - all the way on disability. My income is less than $11,000 a year. There is no way in hell I can get a loan to leave the country.
While I agree with all of your other points (because, yes, this country is fucked), I don't really think my post asking for assistance is the place to vent your frustrations, comrade. Leaving the country isn't an option for me. I am doing what I can to survive in a system I can't escape.
