Ok. Where is the funding for this? Is it a business venture? A lovely idea I’m sure but seems a bit lacking in transparency.

I love the idea of this. But an online search finds nothing substantial about the program, except the website and a blog post.

I’d love to participate. I see the mod team have pinned this post globally. Are they confident in the bona fide of this organisation?

Also, @moderators how is DMAFB trust level 3 already? Have the rules changed?

The profile says “Member” on my looking, which is level 2.

For clarity

  • “Level 2 - Member” is the third level above New and Basic. Slightly confusing.

  • The post is a promoted one. The forum does get running costs from these promoted posts although that is currently being assessed.

  • Currently the system grants Level 2 membership to users who enter their address and credit card number in order to promote on the forum. Again this is being reconsidered.

  • Promoted posts are pinned to the forum home page for 48 hours.

We’re trying to do everything out of our own pockets, getting press has been difficult (I sent out our press release over 300 times, and only the South London Press picked up the story) - it doesn’t deter us though, I’m happy to provide more details - Don (DMAFBME@gmail.com)

Perhaps promoted posts should be marked as promoted.

That is entirely reasonable however as I say the whole promoted posts\payments thing is under assessment.

Sorry DMAFB, but I don’t get this.

Apart from all the invites to friends to sign-up and to offer favours to earn loads of points towards the chance to win a phone or a laptop, which I personally don’t like, I also hate your strapline - “I help you, you help me, everybody happy” - because - “I help you” - is where it’s really at!

I’m sure you’re a well-meaning bloke though, so I hope you find the right way to structure your good cause and, once you’ve done that, I’ll be the first to wish you well with it.

Fair enough- if still a little confusing. So you get a ‘regular’ badge at trust level 2? Even though trust level 3 is called regular?

#30

I have to agree with @Anotherjohn on this, I find this OP and reply’s all a bit weird. Happy to be wrong on this though.

#31

Yeah, and what’s up with the user icons - where is @starman’s star for example? Is it a technical glitch or is it a fake Starman?

Jason may have changed his pic, PM me Jason @starman

It seems a good sentiment but you need to improve your messaging/proposition.
If it’s really about helping people then that should be reward enough in itself.
Adding in gamification and Mac book pros goes against this and makes it seem a bit weird or scammy.
I would strip it right back and make it As Simiple As Possible.

I agree, if this is genuine nothing should be offered in return. @DMAFB if you are genuine I would like to help. You can email me sugarmountain.info@gmail.com and I will do my best to help. Pauline
