Are these giveaways randomly selected or are you just choosing who ever you want?

These are not donations to LPF but donations to you?

Nono it's definitely random!

And to me. I'm dis-affiliating any actions to LPF. BUT I'll be making a donation to LPF afterwards.

swimminsurfer -

I applaud the spirit of what you're trying to do here, but this has the *appearance* of major sketch. I'm just saying *appearance*, because I don't mean to actually attribute any ill motives to you. I'm just presuming you haven't totally thought this through, because on the surface, it looks very very questionable.

Think about it - you're asking people to donate money by sending it to you first?

That's sketchy as-is, but it makes the optics even worse when you realize that there's no logical reason they couldn't just donate to LPF directly, and then *tell you* about their donation. Since there's no logical reason to have the donations go to you first, it leaves me (and I'll bet others) questioning - why have them go to you first?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here - you've been a member longer than I - but it doesn't *look* legitimate.

Well the true spirit of it was trying to disguise something else (having do to with the prizes) but yeah as I do think about it further I don't think it'll work so I'll take it down!
