Epic Null - the user wants you to reply with honeypot@paddyduke @aral @bifouba You say that as if we didn't have an anti-LGBT group set up a scam asking for donations on behalf of LGBT people.
Would you really feel comfortable knowing your $25 meant to go towards helping someone went towards hurting them?
You also say that as if the act of paying online is a safe and private affair, rather than one that gives the recipient a surprising amount of information that can be misused by either the recipient or a middleman. The risk is not just $25.
We need better solutions than this. Ones that are distinguishable from scams in a real and auditable way. Ones that correctly limit exposure to individuals. Ones where a donator is guaranteed not to be flooded in even more requests for help the way my grandma is when she financially supports the democrats.
This is a system level issue. It needs a system level solution.
