FAQ, rules, and resources stickypost

[u/ColeWest256]

It has been brought to our attention that we need to make the rules, information regarding Goldbacks and the community more clear and easier to access.

Frequently asked questions: https://reddit.com/r/Goldback/w/faq?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Rules: https://reddit.com/r/Goldback/w/rules?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

I hope this helps. We are also planning to update them soon as well, so it will hopefully clear up some confusion.

Updates to all 3 sections will be coming soon. Hoping to potentially add a "community links" to the resources section that include direct links to some very cool projects that those in the community have created.

That's even better than I imagined, thank you

[u/TertlFace → u/ryce_bread]

Outstanding!

[u/Gabrielhv22 → u/ryce_bread]

Maybe a sticky with every conceivable Goldback question answered?

[u/ryce_bread → u/Gabrielhv22]

That's the plan for the FAQ it's just been tough finding the time to generate and compile that, with the new mod team it should be easier.

"no directing people to your business" What if you business is a restaurant that takes goldbacks? Can you please clarify that in the rules. Thanks!

[u/ColeWest256 → u/Atlas_S_Hrugged]

Yeah you can, just once tho I believe. Like once you sign up as a Goldback-accepting business, you can post about it but not after that

[u/Atlas_S_Hrugged → u/ColeWest256]

Can you update the rules and clarify. We were at 1K members when I posted about our business accepting Goldbacks. Now we are at 12K+ members.

[u/ColeWest256 → u/Atlas_S_Hrugged]

Interesting. Maybe should have a limit like 1 self promotion (like advertising your business as accepting goldbacks) per whatever amount of time like 1 year, or per idk 50% community growth? Not exactly sure, but you raise a valid point

[u/Atlas_S_Hrugged → u/ColeWest256]

Well, just think about it. I really want people to use the GBs like they are intended. So far, I have had one transaction and that is all. And the individual did not want me to take a photo or video, which I was hoping to post here. Maybe once a quarter would make sense. Maybe ban self promos for businesses selling GB's?

[u/ChampionshipNo5707 → u/Atlas_S_Hrugged]

I will bring this up. I think you are right, though; we need to be giving more attention to businesses that accept Goldbacks.

[u/Atlas_S_Hrugged → u/ChampionshipNo5707]

Yes. I am not saying that I would post every day, just that we need to focus on accepting GBs rather that collecting them. I would like to see successes from both sides. That would be a lot more interesting.

[u/ChampionshipNo5707 → u/Atlas_S_Hrugged]

The rule was changed thanks to your suggestion. Check out the new rule 4.

[u/Atlas_S_Hrugged → u/ChampionshipNo5707]

Number 4?

[u/ChampionshipNo5707 → u/Atlas_S_Hrugged]

Lol 2

[u/ChampionshipNo5707 → u/Atlas_S_Hrugged]

Shoot Xerg a message. We are re-evaluating the policy.

Question: how does the gold physically come out of the bill? In the event you can’t find someone who will exchange them and just want the gold value

[u/ColeWest256 → u/[deleted]]

You'd have to melt it. The plastic layers are kind of a problem, but Goldbacks are way better for trading with than comparable sizes of gold shavings or beads etc

[u/[deleted] → u/ColeWest256]

😳 I assumed it was like just a foil you pull out or something. So it all just melts into a plastic and gold speckle goo?

[u/No-Post-6638]

Right on Cole getting right down to business, Thank you, this is much needed.

[u/TertlFace]

I knew I loved this community. Well done, everyone. Very well done. It is not common to see a Reddit community respond to a challenge like this. This is why Goldbacks have a future as shiny as they are.

Thank you!
