Hello Bobthebarb27! i appreciate your well-wishes. Yes, this thread seems to have taken a turn towards the trolls, but everybody legitimate has replied to my inbox or discord. I haven't settled on anybody but I'm talking to a few people. I guess I'll add this: If you feel like you are being scammed but aren't sure, you should ask yourself what is being asked of you. If you are being asked to provide money or sensitive information such as bank accounts or social security numbers, you should be very aware of who is asking you for these things and why. But when a thread appears on the internet asking for no money, sensitive information, or anything really and that thread triggers your scam alarm, you might be slightly paranoid. Thank you!
No, you aren't asking for money or personally identifiable information, the two other most common goals of scams/fraud. What you are asking for is someone's labor, which is the third most common form of scam/fraud. Members of this community who are invested in the welfare of other members of this community spoke up to your advertisement because it strongly resembles the templates used by labor/service/work scammers in soliciting someone's assistance to advance their own ability to profit. When honest, reasonable questions were asked you pushed back insulting the intelligence or emotional well-being of your interlocutors (by the way, when you dive into an online community, you might want to get a sense of who you're talking to, most of the folks who were asking questions of you are valued contributors to this community, so dissing them in that fashion actually blows back against your credibility). I find it amusing you end your thread on this allegation of paranoia to some of your proposition's critics. I'l turn that around. When you create a thread on the internet with allusions to abusiness/work proposition with little to substantiate or show to potential collaborators beyond "trust me," and gaslight your critics by questions to their intelligence or emotional wellbeing, you might be slightly, at least, sociopathic. Thank you!

while this is a bit harsh, I agree
