Donations on Hubpages?
I recently asked a question about whether people were allowed to ask for personal donations in their hubs. You guys answered that no, it should be flagged.. I have flagged the hub over and over again and hubpages admin is non-responsive. I even asked if they would at least contact me and tell if if I was off base, or was it allowed.....no response. I don't like to see this kind of thing get started as some may be real and others fraudulent. What should I do now?
Hi duffsmom,
I don't have a satisfactory answer for your question. However I do have a parallel experience.
I saw a hub that was selling probably-illegal body-building drugs. I flagged it, and it took about a week for the hubpages flag investigator to send the guy to cyber-Siberia. My conclusion is that the flag investigator has a very full plate.
If fraudulent beggars are haunting hubpages, they'll get their comeuppances sooner or later. In flagging an inappropriate hub, you have performed a service for the entire hubpages community. Thank you.
Post the hub link here; perhaps others will flag it as well.

Today I check my hubs and they're all been flagged...

So .... I was just flagged for a hub I wrote last night. It was flagged as a duplicate.I didn't even cite anything in this hub. I quoted a bunch of stuff in my Anaconda piece and none of it was flagged as duplicate, so someone must have copied and pasted my new hub. Everything on...
