0.5%? So, for every $100 you spend, they'll give a charity 50 cents. I don't think that amount is anywhere near enough to justify buying from Amazon for that purpose.

If you were going to buy from Amazon anyway, fine, but please don't give Amazon gratis advertising based on it.

Not even every $100 you spend- only "eligible AmazonSmile" purchases have 0.5% donated, so it's probably more like 50 cents per $200 or so.

Also, Amazon was part of ALEC, a secretive right-wing corporate-funded "bill mill" that was until a few years ago relatively unknown: http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Corporations_that_Have_Cut_Ties_to_ALEC. (Amazon quit due to a lot of public pressure.)

Indeed that is about Amazon, but this forum should be under other news forum folder. Do we have that folder available? No we don't!

By Reading the community forum guidelines, Some of guidelines could be read and interpret very differently.
It is not specific and still vague with generalization. Thai is just my opinion, everyone else is entitled to their own.

All I'm asking is a little bit of reorganization with More alternative forum folders. It will be good For any user to post properly in their proper forums, as need it.

That will help, folder indexing and topic location, avoiding the over crowding of the main forum, it will help at the long run.

Everything has its rightful place. Yet, If the admins of this Trisquel website, don't mind non-related Trisquel topics to be place anywhere? Then is there headache, resources, time and money.

Specially, When downtime and maintenance schedules take longer from the normal.

This matter needs to be address properly.

Respectfully and don't scream at me. I'm all ears...
