Fashion Earings #1

FYI - you have a flaker in your midst - @tazwoman flaked on my children in a coloring page swap last year (and someone else's child in another swap) and never sent, responded, or apologized since she has returned to the bot.

I'm dropping out I dont want to be in a swap where someone has that low a score and 3 x 1's and 3 x 3's the likelihood of flaking is too great

@cajunhillbilly don't you think it would have been alot nicer if you had messaged me other than coming on here where everyone can see and say things about others! I don't mind you having your say but there is a time and place for everything.

As to Tazwoman she has been delt with and who ever has her as a swap partner only needs to contact me and i will angel for the swap as that is what i am here for. I have talked to Tazwoman and she has given her word that she would be doing the swap. I have been in contact with her via emails.

@ kirstykai I wouldn't worry about what has been said and I do think it is not up to others to say bad things out in public veiw as it is not fair. If you have a problem then please email me as i am here for that reason.

@cajunhillbilly I think you are very rude going to peoples swaps and making the comments you have. You could have done the right thing and messaged Coordinator, with plastering your message on others peoples swaps and this is not the first one I have seen this message from you, so rude. Well done Ally and well said, I know Ally and if she said she will angel then she will.

I think it needs to be known what kind of swappers are allowed in this swap - they should have the choice to be in a swap with KNOWN flakers.. especially ppl that flake on children.. I think its RUDE to flake on children (more than just mine) and come back and pretend it never happened. Never even apologize to any of her flaked on partners.. She also gave her word two three other partners - and you see how that turned out.. As for your thoughts on my methods - I don't need nor want your approval.

I appreciate knowing that @Cajunhillbilly is looking out for other swappers. A flaker is a flaker. They lied when they signed up for a swap and didn't send it out & who's to say they won't do it again? Thanks for your input Cajunhillbilly you're the BEST! MUAH!

We need the warnings about flakers or how else are we to protect ourselves from people who come here to thieve from others? I'm sorry @Allyb but you are letting other swappers down by allowing flakers into your swap when you list No Flakers ! Good swap hosts remove them.

@allyb You really should not say no flakers in your swap. Obviously you are allowing them in. You and @heavenlydreams are the ones who are misguided here. The flakers profile is already public so @cajunhillbilly is not making something public that was not before.

As for putting me down i have had it! I don't need this at all. I said i will angel and that is what i will do if taz dosen't complet the swap. I have emailed taz and she said she would do the right thing so i am allowing her in this swap. if you have any problems email me

in other words - she's allowing her in the swap whether it makes good sense or not.

fyi - you are supporting bad swapping behavior when you allow someone in your swaps that you KNOW has flaked on others - including CHILDREN -, who has not made attempt #1 to rectify that, and you let them in your swap anyway.. you aren't the only one swapping here - there are other swappers potentially affected by your decision to trust someone that has proven to be untrustworthy.. THEY have the right to know and make a conscious choice to swap with them or not.. and if they are not seasoned enough to know where to check the partners - this is the next best thing.. posting comments so your swappers have the chance to make that decision for themselves - not for you to make it for them. YOu can have anyone you want in your swaps - but you will gain a reputation for yourself of irresponsible hosting and good swappers will want not part of it.. Ive done what I came to do - which is give the participants a chance to make their own choices..

So basically you're giving Taz permission to flake. So let's say she does flake & you angel for her... Her partner will still be getting her package late. And why isn't Taz commenting here defending herself? That's a red flag in my book.

@Allyb Hello, it is always good to know that a host will angel, but angelling is expensive. Also take into account that you may have to angel overseas partners, this makes postage go up, bubble packaging, customs, the price of the jewelry. So you could be out an extra $10 or more!

You also stated in your swap no flakers Well anyhow, I hope your swap goes well. I hope you will have fun on swapbot.

Okay people enough is enough, the swap has finished. Move on. If your not in the swap then you have nothing to worry about.

HeavenlyDreams, with all due respect:
1. The swap has not finished. It's not done until the send date has passed and everyone has sent/received their parcels.
2. Swap-Bot is a community, and as such, we all DO have something to worry about if a known flaker is allowed to continue to do damage to the community at large.
