Rule One!: Do NOT beg!
Okay. So what the deal of this is, is that no one is allowed to say "PLLLLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEE DONATE TO MEEEEEEEE~!" Or anything of the sort. Even if it is said in a less annoying manner.
This includes bribing, threats, blackmail, etc. Here's some examples of things that are NOT okay.
BRIBING
Hey, -insertnameofpersonhere-, if you donate to my quest, I'll bump all of your threads one hundred times~!
This is bribing. In CASE you didn't know. This isn't fair. NO BRIBING. Do not promise anything in return for a donation. A donation should purely be a donation.
THREATS
You realize that you told me your name AND what state you live in? If I buy a phonebook from -inserthomestate- I can track you down and kill you? Gimme a donation! Now!
This is a terrible example of a threat, but you get the idea. Do NOT threaten anyone in ANY form. I trust most of you wouldn't dream of doing this, but still...
Heh.. Come to think of it, Blackmail and threats are basically the same thing in this situation...
