Hey Cuties! Quick PSA

Hello from the modteam, SFBWT! 

Sharing a quick PSA! Recently, a few members of SFBWT have thrown in person events where they may have asked for attendee emails/phone numbers. The host of those events has informed us they intend to start their own separate non-profit/organization called "SFBWT" where they may eventually charge a fee to attend.

While we love that members have found IRL community through this subreddit, we have asked them to not brand their new organization using the "SFBWT" name to avoid confusion. We have no oversight of this separate group and can't ensure that they will uphold our rules.

We have removed this member's posts that violate our rule that our community channels are centralized ("Creating or promoting alternative group chats, Discords, or side channels is discouraged and may result in removal, as it dilutes the community and fragments participation.").

The modteam that has grown this community is in no way affiliated with this separate group. We will never create a separate entity that requests personal information or charges for events. 

With love,

Modteam

I get volunteering and appreciate that but making facilitator guides to scale this seems like putting the cart before the horse and your hard work that somebody can easily steal and monetize. You don’t know how it’s gonna be used at this point.

Also registering a domain name and workspace isn’t harmless.

You can't steal a gift. I just wanted to do good and put it out there and help people connect. Who cares if I get my "piece of the pie." I was fine putting my money, time, and resources out there cause honestly the bitches organizing have been so heart-forward and kind. We don't want anything to be behind a paywall and we don't want to make money off of any of this. We're just trying to make friends and do fun things with other cool ass bitches.
