One other question. Before the flag issue arose, several people had questioned where they could send donations to help Israel or Lebanon. Others replied, citing specific charities (but not requesting donations).
Would this still be allowed?
No, I would have requested that Randy approve that too. My reason; while you may be a trustworthy member of the community, there has to be some kind of verification where money goes in these things, what if someone that hasn't been around as long as you does something similar, and picks a charity none of us know, or can verify? In the few cases I permitted one of these threads in a forum I moderate I checked to be sure that the charities website was a legitimate and verifiable one, sadly the world of charities has a lot of scams and frauds, and IMHO FT has a duty to protect its members from these scams.
