Thanks for the info, Elphaba! I'm considerably broke right now, but I'm hoping to scrounge up some money for the relief effort.

The Tilted Forum Project has always set a tone of freedom and support. There are certain areas of community that must be controlled in an attempt to stop misuse, or degradation of community before it can begin.

The Policy of the TFP has always been against solicitation in any form, regardless of personal acceptance of a cause or organization. Thus we must remove any and all threads that border on, or cross over to a request for material goods from one member to another.

We all care and worry about our fellow inhabitants of this world.....whether in here, or out there. But it is inappropriate to request something publicly in this community, without the expressed permission of the site owner.

There are virtually thousands of places to donate to disaster relief, and many of us here have visited these, and contributed as we see fit. Please feel free to do so, but do not post such requests within these forums.

We already set the precedent during the Tsunami last year, thread being closed for the same reason
