The sub also isn’t the place for any actually good campaigns. There has to be an element of malevolence, absurdity, or hilarity present. “This subreddit is for bad GoFundMe projects that obviously beg for money or don't have a clear objective other than the ability to sponge money from your wallet,” the mod writes.

Anyone who’s caught promoting projects or soliciting donations on r/DontFundMe will bet permanently banned. And, as always, members of the subreddit are duty-bound to follow Reddit’s general rules, aka be a nice person, not a jerk. That means no spamming. No harassment. No threats. No organizing witch-hunts against GoFundMe beggars that you personally don’t like. Poking fun at them online is fine—but there’s no excuse for abuse.
Which of these projects did you think were the dumbest, dear Pandas? What do you think it would take to ensure that people stop trying to make a quick buck at the expense of others? Is there anything that you wish you could change about GoFundMe as a whole? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
