Be aware that begging is not allowed on Menewsha as stated in the General Rules. If you are pining over a certain item, you may make a thread in the Quest Forum. Also, please be aware that Charity Mules are now required for every charity thread that is over 200 pages. This is so that charity funding can be properly accounted for. When requesting permission to create the charity mule, make sure there is a link to your charity thread in it (if one is created already).

For anyone wanting to start a charity:

• You must ask permission from a staff member before you create a charity.

Criteria you MUST meet if you are a new user and want to start a charity:

• Charity owners must have 4k to start a charity.
• Charity owners must have 500 posts with 2 months active status on site.

If you have an older account:

If your account is already well-established (a year old or more for example) and you have a lot of items that you wish you give away, then the need for 4K in gold is waived.


All users:

Please wait until you meet the criteria before starting your Charity Thread. Threads started prematurely will be locked.

If you have significant infraction history you may be asked to wait longer before starting your charity, even if you meet all other criteria. Wait length will be determined by staff on a case-by-case basis, depending on the details of your situation.

If you are inactive for 30 days, whether it be in your thread, or on Menewsha itself, your charity/giveaway will be locked until you return and can attend to it.

Threads with the concept of "donating to the person above me" or similar are not permitted as too many people cheat them. Any such threads that are created will be locked.

Also, if charity owners are found to be profiting from their charity donation funds, they will be automatically banned for scamming. If a user is found to be cheating charity owners or other users, you will be banned. Scamming and cheating will result in banning.

Regarding Contests/Raffles/Giveaways
The charity forum is solely for those who are creating charities - not just giving away some items short term or for holding contests that give prizes. If you wish to give away your items or hold a contest, use the Contests and Giveaways forum.

Contest/Raffles that are held within existing charities are fine. But host them within your current thread, don't make a seperate thread for them. If you really want a seperate thread for it, then set it up in the Contests and Giveaways forum.
