Should we re-introduce R4R?

Post Body

Hey everyone,

It's been a little while now since the take over of this sub, and I've seen a few people mention R4R. I've also seen people in sydneyR4R getting scammed by others. The reason that I removed R4R in the first place was simply to clean up the sub so it could be a safer and more authentic place, before I cleaned it it was filled with fake images, people not even from aus, scammers, etc. R4R tends to introduce more of this as it involves connecting with others and so scammers can blackmail you.

If we were to re-introduce it, I would be looking to start with some strict rules such as:- Only verified accounts can do it- All requests must have an accompanying (and real) photo

There is however an entire sub already dedicated to this kind of thing which I have been directing people to so the question is what benefit would bringing R4R here bring?

Keen to hear anyone's thoughts, and any other thoughts in general about keeping the sub active and safe.

Edit: I decided to make a separate sub r/gwsydneyr4r and I'm in the process of developing the rules around that and how it will work. Please give any suggestions.
