Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'll get on it.

sunnydale_salvage "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Apr 25, 2006 1:05:35 am PDT should probably go away, possibly accompanied by a note from a stompy indicating that EBay auctions are not considered to be an appropriate topic for Beep Me.
No banning necessary yet, but a little friendly education with a firm pointer to the Founding Documents wouldn't go amiss, I suspect.

Are you suggesting it be moved to press?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The person seemed polite enough. It looks like Press, maybe.

If this were Allyson announcing a charity auction specifically for fandom, I would expect to see it in Press. This smells to me like a different sort of animal.
To be honest, I'm less interested in where it winds up than I am in not having commercials for unknown people's EBay auctions appear in Beep Me. I am not wedded to this position -- if other people like it, I will suck it up and scroll past.
eta: Truly spooooooky cross-post with Allyson. Hi, Allyson! Please don't think I meant to single you out; you were the person who came to mind when i thought of auctions for good causes.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It pinged me, too, Karl. Not so much as "Hey, I'm coming here to hang out!" so much as, "Come buy my shit."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think it belongs in Press, too. And while I agree with Cashmere's assessment, I don't consider him a soulless spammer.

I think that such posts are OK so long as they are polite and infrequent. If we start getting a lot of them, then we can discuss a formal rule.
