RE: Charity drives on Steem, will not tolerate "Giving 100% of the liquid reward..." (while silently keeping the rest out of pure convenience/greed)
The more middle men there are the higher the propability of corruption. Id suggest to give real charities like The Papillon Foundation here on steemit a badge, maybe even an own tab that certifies them as such and only allow those and steemit staff members to fund rais
While I don't want to argue a possible way to verify existing, registered charities and badge them, I think the only allow those and steemit staff members to is too restirctive an initiative.
To begin with, Steemit as such is an interface app to the Steem blockchain. With Steemit staff you mean Steem Inc employees, I assume?
But what's more concerning about that restrictive approach suggested is that it would kill any grassroots initiatives operated out of goodwill. May fundraise drives do depend on funds alrso generated outside of the officially managed by org fundraiser.
Agreed! I wouldn't forbit steemers to to good. Everyone can declare themselves to give their profits away - just as stated in the post the concern is that people declare a charitable act while doing the opposite.
Regarding charity tabs or badges the internet is full of traces regarding given charities and if they done more bad than good + there are charity watch sides that analyze and check charitable foundations' intentions.

Yes!
