As the title says how about adding the ability to let people give a little cash to each other? I suggest it because some people don't have a PayPal. And sure you can take five percent of it.

It's far easier to for authors to create and link their paypal, subscribestar, patreon, etc accounts than it is for the admins to develop a payment system and deal with credit card companies. Not to mention privacy/compliance laws and the cybersecurity risks that come with collecting PII
 
Furthermore, because we handle adult content, if we involved the credit card companies, they would probably pull some censorship denial shit on us like they do to other clients. If you want to tip someone, send Monero to their crypto wallet or something.
 
Could also be someone who wants the site restricted, but that's me interpreting it through a malice lens. Note the message count.

I will admit, someone coming into a message board and saying "Hey, set up a payment processing system" is wild.

Like yeah, sure, should only take five minutes. Oh god I've made a huge mistake.

That possibility is genuinely infuriating, and I had never thought of it. If true, I consider that a moral event horizon.

Could be someone who's looking for cash and weighing their options. I remember not knowing where to find work. I considered doing what Cambrian does at some point. But that was an actual decade ago.

C'mon Morty, let's set up a quick payment processing company. In and out. 20 minute adventure. Those idiots at Patreon think they can charge 10% fees just because of "banking licenses" and "anti-money laundering laws?" We'll show them.

Never attribute to malice what can be [RULE 1 VIOLATION EXPUNGED]
 
Yeah, no.

I think there is enough options off-site for those who want to set up an account to release some of their content early for a paying audience to do so if they wish, and ko-fi for general little tipping needs. Those can handle a fair bit of things without dragging the whole site into a potential mine-field of issues and surprises.

I've seen some authors release some of their content earlier for paying audience, but the content is available later to everyone, the fact some are happy to support an author to get access to the story-pieces earlier is perfectly alright, and it works off-site from here without issues from all I've heard. Not my thing, but I think it can be done, and has been done, without trouble.

Trying to drag in things that could potentially lead to trouble doesn't seem right, hoping its just an idle suggestion but yeah just got a bit of bad feeling about that.

Then again, that's just my idle thought on it.
 
Honestly, if we wanted to seriously consider on-site fiscal work, someone should make a dedicated crypto for the site and tell folk who want it to tie back to the dollar to handle that in a secondary market.

If it's not a regulated currency, the legal problems evaporate in front of "This is a stupid computer number so people can feel good about it, not a legal tender."

And when governments try forcing their regulation on personal token exchanges, we know that it's not about serving the people, but maintaining control of creativity and can pivot appropriately.

But that's my "Done with mammonism" take. Just skip everything the law can rightly apply to and check whether it tries applying anyway.

You still need a way to list it somewhere so it can be exchanged for other currencies. Not much point using a currency if it's basically just likes with a bunch of extra technical steps. QQ isn't big enough for any of the main exchanges to be interested.

That would be the "Handle that yourself in a secondary market" part.

If you want it to connect to the dollar, you do the ground work of setting up an exchange system that entices the dollar in.
Off site.
Without pestering the mods who have no reason to do any of this for you.
Because this entire premise is a reckless shift in dynamic that would fucktuple their workload *just* on account of the fuckwits who cannot see a dollar sign without setting up an automated system to push boundaries and scam as many people as they feasibly can.

Playing utopia whining about how 'someone other than you' would need to account for a fail point that is a step *further* out from what they've agreed to do is honestly tone-deaf.
Exchanges can be built externally. That's how markets work.
