I can vouch for Lost...(aka Tracy) She participated in a RAOK swap I organized and she did her part and then some. She is a great RAOKer and sometimes chooses to be anonymous and therefore doesn't get a trader rating(s) or feedback- but she is consistently generous and responsible - much like secret.santa's elves- they don't do it for fame or bling- its simply true kindness.

Thank you Kart269. Really you didn't have to go to all this trouble. Bless your heart. I support these rules a 100%. I don't want anyone to think dif. As you know why.

Just a suggestion maybe another rule could be,

In an exchange you are not allowed to "re gift" the box you recieved. Meaning if you recieved your box, you are not allowed to just ship it to the person you are suppose to send to. It needs to be different things.

Kart, that was very nice of you.

Everyone has a bit of time to bring their rating up to 10. I know it may seem like a large number, but it's really not too hard to get there. Getting to 10, helps everyone to have a pretty good idea that a trader is consistant and knows how the rules work.

Will it ensure everyone is going to be a great trader, because they've reached 10 trades...no, but it does help a bit.

Do for other's as you would have them do for you.
It's golden for a reason.

I had somebody do this with a package that I sent them during an exchange at the other place. Not everything was re-gifted but I'd say most of it was. The person who finally ended up with the stuff liked it though. I didn't say anything about it, but it was kinda weird.

Well thats why I think it should be a rule, now I understand that alot of people shop at the same stores, i think if you recieved a razor, and you were going to send that same one, maybe you should look in the stockpile for a different brand, most of us have a bunch of different kinds.

But it makes the person that sent that box to you orginally feel bad. I just think that it should be a rule, but I don't know how the Fl/Mods/etc feel about it.

I think it's a good rule to have. I'll add it to the list. Thanks for the input.

Are you starting a new one?

No, I'm not starting a new exchange. These rules will be used for all exchanges going forward.

Great that will get the standards UP!!
