Charity Forum Rules

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.


If you have any problems or questions about what belongs here, please PM a moderator.

Charity Mule Rules

Here are some things that you need to remember if you wish to use a dedicated mule to make the running of a charity easier for yourself:
  • First and foremost; please do NOT create a charity mule without first being given permission by the staff.
  • If your charity thread has more than 200 pages, you must create a charity mule.
  • The mule must be for charity use only. It cannot be used for personal use.
  • If you post or play games on it the gold earned must go to your charity.
  • If you collect event items or free commemorative items on it they must go to the charity.
  • If you want to sell items from your main/mule to your charity account instead of just donating them, then you cannot charge your charity more than store/current mpg value.
    The real world term for this kind of practice is embezzlement; we don't take kindly to that kind of thing here so if you do it you will get a ban for scamming.
Basically you have to treat your charity mule as totally separate from your own account(s). You cannot use it as a third account to collect items or to earn gold for yourself as this is in direct violation of our rules. Once items or gold are earned by or sent to the charity mule they must stay on that account and can only be used for the charity.

UPDATE! 10/4/10: It is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED that Charity owners open an Exchange thread/Marketplace shop with their Charity mule to be used solely for Charity business. This is now allowed in the Exchange forum. Keeping your Charity separate from your personal funds is of utmost importance.
