Kao i vecini mojih godina u SR (40+) intro u Anime bili su Saber Rider (usni crv muzike momentalno) i Robotech... izkasapljena verzija koju smo tada ovde imali, za nas tada siri Macross nije postojao. Ali... Kad kao malo stariji gledas Robotech i Macross... Nope. Kapa dole legendarnom serijalu koji mnogo volim kao deo detinstva ali... nope.
Jedino sto mi je toliko privuklo paznju tokom odrastanja bili su Evangelion i Yamato.

Moze li preporuka za taj SciFi, vojska, space opera fazon a da zapravo ima dubinu i da se ne svodi samo na "veliki robot puca"?

Modovi, ubiste sa ovom crvenom pozadinom. Zanimljiv sab ali druze, glava boli posle par minuta citanja (na racunaru). jako neprijatno.

So, probably today a girl will post a fundraiser for a cat, brand new profile.
Yes, brand new profile with fundraiser is a red flag, but not that one. Not only that I know about it in advance, I told her to create that profile and to post a fundraiser here and she will write that in the text.
I already seen the vet documents, she will translate them all for you.
When you see it, I KNOW ABOUT IT, I TOLD HER TO DO THAT, not a scam profile, no need to report it.

Post evidence ON THE FUNDRAISING POST.
"You can find it on my profile" - NO.
"You can see it on the crowd funding site" - NO.
"You can see it on my social media" - NO.
"This is a link from my previous fundraiser on this sub with additional info and proof" - YES,

There is A LOT of scamming in this field. Literally organized crime has it's fingers in it, mostly on money laundering. Then we have those basic donation scams and all in between.
Actually, LEGALIZED SHELTERS AND ORGANIZATIONS (at least outside the West because of weaker laws and regulations) ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE INVOLVED IN SHADY STUFF because that legal status gives them a shroud of legitimacy and believability (from a westerner's perspective) and MORE WAYS FOR OWNERS AND CRIMINALS TO USE THAT.
So, no, that is not enough to vouch for it not being a scam.

I'll give you what to focus on by giving you an example of that and a warning about those two, THERE IS a margin of error in general but not a big one so do not decide based on only one of those, look for a pattern.
look up Serbian Nikola rescue and Vucjak shelter for direct exsamples. On top of many controversies, tax scams, court appearances... I am using those two as examples of LEGAL BUT NOT LEGIT shelters to illustrate a larger picture.

-They rack up tons of donations from people outside the country and those that are not informed, mostly people outside Serbia and surrounding countries. Locals know. So one of THE red flags is predominantly and/or exclusively people from outside the country X shelter is located in in the comments donating, supporting and praising them.

-Look at the amount of donations they get then look at the infrastructure and food they use. One of THE red flags is a well supported rescue/shelter that uses low grade, cheep, kibble (I am a poorly funded shelter and I use mid range, mid price, kibble). If it seems that they get more then they spend for the animals that is usually the case.

-Go to animal related local groups on social media and search them. There will always be some rumors about every single one of us so some of that is normal and ignorable, but if you see a bunch of that, if you see stuff that clicks, if you see stacked evidence, that is not by accident. For those two, go to Telegram app, channel Levijatan-bez cenzure, search Nikola, Nikola rescue, Vucjak shelter, (Vucjak owner) Dejan Gačić (Dejan Gacic) and see what I mean.

-Look for cooperation on local and country level. Then look at the people they cooperate with IF ANY. Nikola rescue, his cooperant got her place shut down, abuse and more... Honest locals will not cooperate with known shady rescues/shelters for obvious reasons and they will not cooperate with others for secrecy reasons.

There's more red flags but those are the reddest. One of those does not mean much but if you see a pattern then you have a scammer on your hands.

In many places LEGAL STSUS MAKES IT EASIER TO SCAM, FRAUD, SMUGGLE ANIMALS... To abuse that legal susus for personal gain.
DO NOT look for legal shelters/rescues, in my XP legal status in this context and under weak laws is not only irrelevant it is a reason to dig deeper, LOOK FOR LEGIT SHELTERS/RESCUES.

DO NOT discriminate against unregistered shelters/rescues. There are scammers among them, yes, but LEGAL AND LEGIT ARE NOT ONE AND THE SAME, legal DOES NOT guarantee that shelter/rescue is legit.
Investigate, look at details, be careful, do not leave any stone unturned before you decide to donate.

In countries where legal shelters/rescues can easily abuse that status, THAT IS WHERE YOUR HELP IS NEEDERD THE MOST. WE NEED YOU! THOSE AMONG US THAT GAVE OUR LIVES TO THIS FIGHT, DOING THE BEST WE CAN, WE NEED YOU!
PLEASE, investigate, make the right choice.

I WILL NOT ban someone just because you want me to.
I WILL NOT ban someone just because "they seem sus", for real? Not a day after the same person...
I WILL NOT ban someone just because you got in to argument with them, objectively got obliterated and got your fragile ego bruised, I did not ban people that were very rude to me and insulted me in my sub.

I DO NOT get involved in that drama.
As one of the rare animal related sub mods THAT ACTUALLY HAS FEET ON THE GROUND, THAT IS A SHELTER OWNER AND A VETERAN FIELD ACTIVISTS (sorry but I will express my self exactly as I feel with 0 filters) I DO NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK about your fragile ego, about school yard level drama, "mod clans"...
I created this sub, but it is not mine, I do not own it, it does not belong to me. IT BELONGS TO THE ANIMAL LOVING-ANIMAL HELPING COMMUNITY IN THIS SUB. My job, as is yours in your sub is to SERVE THE COMMUNITY IN THIS SUB, to moderate, not to fucking God-erate!

I live in Serbia/Balkans, honey. Here animal rights/rescue activists that tackle big issues (and I do) get death threats, people with clubs on their gates. get their shelters burned down... I got my head smashed in to a brick wall, got beaten, stabbed, shoot at... I needed to build protections around my shelter by any and all means necessary to keep my animals safe... And your threat is to blacklist me/my sub here if I do not fall in line? Am... Honey... Not gonna happen. Not even close.

I am super opened to cooperate with good people, and I do, there are good people among mods, but I WILL NOT BRING THAT TOXICITY IN TO THIS SUB.
So this is a message to all you "power trip", "ego driven" mod donuts out there...
THIS IS AN INDEPENDANT SUB, THIS SUB IS NOT AND NEWER WILL BE A PART OF ANY CLAN, THIS SUB IS DRVEN AND MOLDED BY THE COMMUNITY IN IT FOR THE COMMUNITY IN IT.

So, honey, you can fuck right of in to a sunset.

Smestaj za napustene zivotinje na Surcinu.
Pravim novu kucicu za jedan box, dva psa srednjeg rasta u boksu, velika kucica, bice poprilicno teska. Uzak prolaz do tamo. Nema trika da provucem sam.
Pretpostavljam da cu zavrsiti do nedelje.
Ima li neko jak da mi na 10 minuta pomogne da ubacimo kucicu u box?
Jedan drugar izasao iz bolnice, nista teze od kasike.
Drugi nije tu.
Ostalo devojke i zene.
Pa mi treba neki burazer na 10-15 minuta da prenesemo onaj tenk od kucice do boksa, ni 100m.
Ne mogu prvo da razvalim postojecu, napravivsi prostora za rad, pa tamo da sklapam jer Budimir nije dobar u glavu, dobrica i veselica ali lud kompletno, ne mozers pored gremlina da radis. Pa moram u komadu da zviznem u boks.

There was a post about kittens that need help.
Video was there, in a vet clinic, looked legit but no paperwork of any kind.
I told her to follow the fundraising rules, to post paperwork she must have, video is in the vet clinic.
Later I saw her answering on another comment but ignoring the one I wrote.
Red flag, and I told her that.
Now I see that account is banned.

If you see that OP is responding to other comments but ignoring comments that ask for proof in any way, MAJOR RED FLAG, seen it many times.
READ THE COMMENTS ON THE FUNDRAISING POSTS. It can reveal a lot.
