Victim fund

[Christopher]

We should definitely do something like this:

Read that page (the whole page, don't jump to conclusions), then come back here and tell me what you think.

Its a weird idea. But it has its ups and downs. For example, most people don't care if someone gets scammed, how do we know someone wouldn't just setup a plan for a friend to fake scam them so they could end up on the list and possibly get free money. It is a nice idea, though. But it be a pain trying to sort it out and figuring out the fakes from the reals.

You're free to organize this yourself, but I do not think McM should take part in it. Windex has outlined the risks perfectly, and I will tell you right now that people will scam this fund. Individual acts of kindness to mitigate the damage are the best way to recompense victims of scammers. I've done that a few times randomly as well, and it's still the best way. It makes it so that it is not expected, but welcome anyway.

You both have very valid points

Like others said, Its a generous and nice idea. But people can easily and will make fake account/get friends to fake scam them so they receive compensation

I think I should just clear this up:

Yes I understand the risk, but whoever is managing the fund (M6Gaming is a good example), would have to follow a strict protocol as far a giving out money goes, something along the lines of:

• New Members can only take out a max amount of $10 once every 3 months.
• Members " " $20 " "
• Well Known Members " " $30 " "
• Premium Members " " $40 " "
• Supreme Members " " $50 " "

Plus they have to provide proof, link scam report, etc..

Didn't avsterbone have an idea like this?
Also, I think it's a great idea, I just don't want people fake scamming (or just taking advantage) in order to abuse the fund.

Ivain summed this up.

We aren't able to make this some sort of official service from the site, however you're more than welcome to make up your own service for it and see how it goes.
