Begging subforum for 'Marketplace'

What do you think of this idea? I think some members on here would love to be able to help someone else out, but there currently isn't a designated place for people to post their needs.

There are many contests and giveaways on the Marketplace. If someone's shooting for a free print, those are the threads to look out for. We don't need beggars, especially ones with "requests".

A forum devoted specifically to people posting various reasons for why they need money would be interesting, though--not to mention it's not forcing people to give money to them. If someone wants to, why not let them donate a modest sum to someone who needs it? Can't see how it would harm the site in any way... maybe I'm just naive.

This isn't a half bad idea, it gives the opportunity to help out the less fortunate.
Though there are downsides as humans have a tendency to lie.

I didn't mean it like that. I should have said "needs." Going to edit my post.

Even so. Starting up can be pricey as well sometimes. I was one of the beggars on here on my first few days. I managed to trade salvia and seeds for a few awesome cultures and got one freebie.
Im still trying to get some active species. Its hard out here for a noob because of assholes who jump ship. And lets not forget the damn pigs.
I think it could be a good Idea because its still voluntary when it all comes down to it. And as long as people are obeying laws it should be containable. I dont get the marketplace as is until february.
So I keep posting, and keep working with what I got until the gates of eden open to me. As it is Im trying to sell my xbox games to try and get 40$ for the xmas special spore works is doing

Like SS said, there are plenty of giveaways and contests and ways to get shit with absolutely no money. I do contests every once in a while myself, soley because I know there are people who need free spores to get started.
There is just no reason to beg. You can post up any kind of crap to trade. Just make an effort and if your list really sucks, people will usually see that you're trying, take pity and just throw you a print or 2 for free.
I seriously can't remember the last time I bought spores. It has to have been at least 5 years ago.

I'm living in my compact car begging for food and gas and have been for a month. Anyone care to donate me a shower, home cooked meal, and the use of a washer and dryer for a loaf of laundry?
I'm dead serious too.

A lot of members have need/want threads in their journals. And in the marketplace there is nothing in the rules stopping someone from offering a "gesture" trade for a print. Someone could offer a labbat light bottle cap as trade for a print and state that its a gesture and they need a print. I'm sure someone would take pity and give them a print and probably not even want the bottle cap or gesture item sent to them.
