I think it's less "never tolerated" and more "we won't make it easy."
When some stranger in-world asks me for money, I usually grill them for about 20 minutes about why they want it and what else they've tried and where they got their shoes and any other random thing I can think of. I figure if they can make it through that, they deserve a few L$..

From: Argent Stonecutter As usual, I recommend the GNUbie store in Powder Mill. A very good recommendation. A couple of other good places, IMO: Sarah Nerd's Freebie Paradise The Free Dove YadNi's Junkyard NCI

From: charis Khandr ok...you say you're not begging so fine I will accept that and you're right in most cases "it never hurts to ask".. .but here in the forums asking/begging for money is never tolerated. You will be ripped apart everytime and you have to accept that. Most people here work hard in SL for their Ls or use RL money, and they are not just going to give it away to a stranger, yes there are some cases where it happens and yes I have been one of those people to give out Ls to a newbie too... but I met that person in world and got to know them first. Right here you're just a name on a screen and your p[ersonality doesn't seem to be winning points with anyone here.
There are simply too many ways to make money in SL... but it takes time and it sounds like you want instant gratification. Sorry that isn't how SL works. Camping is the only true way of getting free money but you seem to think you are above that. Well, even that is going to be hard to find now that Linden Labs has declared Camping to be against the ToS.
Learn how to build in Sl and sell stuff... that makes money.. lots of it. Get a job as a dancer in a club (if you can be age-verified) tons of tips in that. Honestly.. there are simply too many ways to earn Ls in SL for you to justify asking/begging here in any way especially when you say it is just to tide you over in case you want to buy something... sounds like you are looking for a sugar daddy and you won't find that on the forums.
Sadly even "games" take time and need work and you seem to be the type of person who just wants everything to be easy and come to them immediately. Maybe you should find another game that works differently and doesn't cost you RL money. Nice,for the first post,thanks for your opinion,NOW CAN SOMEBODY KILL ME.

From: annna Deed This is asking for a money,if someone want to give,if dont,wtf are you doing here! Yes, begging...which is what I said in the first place. Anna, please...I'm not putting you down, I (and the other people who've posted here) am putting you straight. Most of us are actually extremely newbie-friendly. Notice the large number of people who volunteered to help you with your Profile picture (including me) in another thread. SL is not just a game to us. It's a world. Because of that, we like to see newcomers get off to a good start. Asking for money isn't going to do that for you. Even if you don't have a credit card, there are ways to buy $L. PayPal is probably the easiest. Get yourself a PayPal account, and get it verified (by linking it to your bank account). Or, can you buy one of those pre-paid debit cards? Those are accepted by internet sites just like a credit card. Or maybe you have a trusted friend who will let you use their credit card. If you absolutely can't figure out a way to get real life money turned into $L, you can always earn $L in game...you're participating in another thread about that, and you'll find some helpful replies there. There have been lots of other threads on that topic, so do a forum search to find even more ideas.

From: Dog Galicia the OP just doesn't seem to get it. I think she gets it just fine. She just likes to beg because it is still the option with the least amount of effort involved, the lazy tard.

From: annna Deed Hun,do you know that this is a GAME,just one stupid GAME where some people taking this GAME too seriously,so,come back to real life where you just one miserable little girl.  Thank you for the enlightening responce annna. I DO know its a game but i also know every L$ is made for REAL money something that does not happen in other GAMES. Now a L$ may not equal much but it is REAL money and as i said before you would not stand on a street corner in RL and ask strangers for REAL money , would you?

From: annna Deed Maybe this is a problem:I don't have a credit card. You said even if you had one, it would not be allowed in your country to pay with it. Please explain this stupid rule. Or at least tell us from which country you are begging. And Windswept was right, every single fuckin L$ you are asking for was PAID FOR by another user. So you are indeed asking for real monetary value, not just play money. But you know that very well, do you?

Anna, my store offers people under 30 days any outfit in the store for free. So that will get you started with clothes, I also have a free skin, and you can get a coupon for free hair from GURL 6 also. That will get you going enough to find a job. We do hire people, but you have to be over 30 days  I hope this helps. And welcome to SL. Oh, the slurl to my store is in my sig.

From: annna Deed i really don't care what you think. I bet you would if i was willing to give you money and to those who are offing you help I think she is not as new as she makes out. I would put money on her being an alt. I would also put money ( oh yes i have some and i did not become a free loader to get it ) on her being rather young. Bring on age verification
