Why are coded fundraising threads allowed outside the charities noticeboard?

I used the title suggested by your AI

In the rules and guidelines, it says:

We only allow fundraising for registered charities to be promoted on our Talk boards - and these threads should be posted on the charities noticeboard. This is in the interest of protecting our users as we aren't able to vouch for or endorse individuals running crowdfunding campaigns or anything along those lines.

So why are these "gardening" topics allowed where people raise money for anti-trans "projects" and the people who run them?

The obvious code words etc are ways of trying to circumvent the rules. Are mumsnet ok with fundraising, as long as it against trans people?

Hi @QuestionFromTheBack

Thanks for raising this.

Our fundraising rules apply across the site. We don’t allow Talk threads to be used to promote crowdfunding, personal fundraising or fundraising for non-registered charity projects.

Having said that, it’s difficult for us to remove posts simply because posters may be alluding to a cause if they aren’t directly linking to a fundraiser, asking for money, or telling people how to donate.

We’ll take a look at the threads you’ve linked. If there are specific posts that link to fundraising, ask for donations, or direct users to where they can donate, please report those directly and we’ll review them.
