Recommendation for consideration...

I have noticed an increasing amount of begging letters on BHW, which we never had when I first joined.

Some tug at the heart-strings, but we still have no way of knowing if they are genuine or not.

NO MATTER! This is NOT the place for them.

I would like recommend to Admin and Mod's that ALL letters begging for money, not help with a problem or project, carry an automatic and instant ban.

Yup we all have unfortunate situations, I'm in a mess but I'm managing it well. Only the strong will persist I guess. I wish life was as easy as asking and receiving.

6 years ago I made SHIT for money but i managed on my 30 grand a year. One time I got into a jam because of some medical problems. I was 18, living on my own and stupid. You know what I did? First I started to sell all my stuff on ebay and also freelanced for some people. Then I started searching on CL for labor gigs. I needed money quick so I did what I had to do. Many days of working 15 hours a day and sometimes more but I pulled it off and got my situation straight. Not once did I ever beg for a handout.

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything but people need to suck it up and work their asses off to get some money together. Now I'm in a position where I don't have to ever worry about money again. I did it by WORKING not begging.
