to anyone who is asking for .5, .02., .53 or fucking whatever - if you are truly not a scammer and are short the coin - MESSAGE THE VENDER and let them know you are just a bit short. most are them are fucking really cool and will let it slide, or add it on to your next purchase, or whatever.
STOP COMING HERE and begging- especially if you have less then 30 fucking posts and know one knows who you are!
instead of coming here first, go to your vender and see whats what. these threads are spamming and scamming the shit out of this forum and, frankly, its getting really pathetic and annoying.

Yea I see a lot of beggers lol

Go get 'em! God, those noobs with less than 30 posts really bug me. You know what else bugs me? People who have been members for less than two weeks slamming noobs.
Take a valium pal.

Totally agree it's starting to get fucking ridiculous. I hate beggars and trolls.
-
You know what else grinds my gears?
People who use multiple forum accounts.

OP is right! Maybe they should make a beggers forum for all those who need 0.3 and 0.5 and 0.whatever

And you sir...are an idiot!

It will only get worse the more popular SR gets, the sad thing is people are usually willing to help as well so others take advantage.
-
Some people are so willing to believe these people are telling the truth that they would be willing to help them, even if it means they know deep down they will never see the money again.
-

Explain please if you would be so kind.
I think a blanket label of someone who came up a bit short as being a beggar is a little harsh. Surely there are some that take advantage but that goes with the territory.
I imagine you and the Op are probably someone who drives by a mentally ill homeless person and yells at them to get a job.

Could anyone spare a bitcoin for an old ex-leper?
Seriously though, I've done it myself, once... and just because the BIG SALE was on, I had just a few coins left after my major purchases and wanted to get myself a 'lil sumpin sumpin on the side.
I wouldn't ask a vendor who's selling something for like 5BTC to lower it if I was one BTC short... that's 1/5 of their price, they gotta eat too.
I DO think maybe there should be a thread for beggar scammers. How many people lend out one of these small loans and don't bother to call out the person who borrowed?
-
I only ask because I was hoping the community could help me,
-
You can't complete purchase unless you have required amount of coins in your SR account. Of course you can send message to seller and deal outside of escrow.
Maybe allow beggars only post in Offtopic section?

I agree that it is starting to get out of hand. Maybe we could have a dedicated thread for beggers looking for that last 0.1 btc or even better, create a newbie board.
I know a newbie board has been proposed before, I have seen very little response from the administration on the subject. I believe a newbie board, which would be the only place a new user could post until they have a certain about of posts and/or time signed in would fix/greatly alleviate many of the issues the forum experiences, including this one. Most beggers/spammers/scammers are newly registered users and implementing a system like this would be a huge deterrent to any kind of foul play.
While this won't solve 100% of the problems I believe this kind of system would put a big dent in my of the problems in the forums.

We could call it a loan thread or beggar thread or I'm a broke ass bastard that needs to get high thread.
That could keep it from clogging up the forums.

yea this post was mainly a rant. it was getting really, really out of hand a day or two after the sale - and I would bet you that almost all of the people asking for loans were scammers. shit, even a few people admitted they were two, three, even four different usernames under the same account. it's really cleared up now since everything has died down. but I definitely think a separate forum for smalls loans would be perfect, especially for new legitimate buyers
