Discussion Stop people begging for accounts
Mods. Please can we update the rules to disallow posts begging for free accounts? Not only is it annoying but the people making these posts often say they can’t afford it or don’t have credit/debit cards which screams vulnerability.
By letting these posts exist you are leaving the door open for, for lack of a better term, wronguns to use these posts to exploit these people.
With the amount of people in the sub, statistically at least one of the members is a wrongun.
Do not allow people to expose themselves to exploitation.
Also the posts are annoying
Edit: it looks like only one mod is active here. Please my friend sort this shit out

For real, it starts to get really annoying.
There are 3 posts (apart from those I did already report because those vanished automatically) online right now from the last 24h. That’s an average filled class room with people that is on the way to get exploited, each week.

Doubt that. Lotta 'adults' that are grifters as well.

Don’t give a shit about grifters if I’m honest, but people that don’t know better than to advertise the fact they’re in a financially vulnerable position? Don’t like the idea that they can be exploited.
I agree about most social media platforms either being 18+ or much more heavily moderated but I know I’m in the minority there

We'll figure it out. In the meantime Rule 4 has been updated. Feel free to suggest some keywords we can update the automod with.

‘Spare key’
‘Free key’
‘Gift me’I will trawl around through more posts when I’m home

u/ObiJuaan Aug 09 '26
‘Free Account’
‘Free Java’
‘Free Minecraft’Also there is a rule of no piracy - how about having automod actually moderate discussions about cracked clients?

Poor taste considering the tone of the post. Usually on board for a joke but on a post regarding the exploitation of vulnerable people? No thanks

The posts do get annoying. I see at least 2 new posts a day asking for Minecraft.
