I agree Marleney - but what can we do? 
I don't mean to be defeatist, but how can we make people be honest and play fair?
I don't mean to be defeatist, but how can we make people be honest and play fair?Yes, if people will not police themselves then there is not a lot we can do. I know even with the list and zoho we have folks doing things like marking books mailed when they are not, etc, to beat the system. Sadly there is not much you can do with people like that except try to be aware of who is doing what and avoid asking for their books.giz-angel wrote:I agree Marleney - but what can we do?

Well, when they do start the June list. Im not on it, I mailed the book that would have put me on it, yesterday.
- 4,076
I'll do the list tonight - sorry it's late, but I've had other things taking precedence in my life.
**Marlene, I think we were trying to keep to about 6 months with the active vs non-active..... I'll move some of the people you noted when I do the June list..... And I totally understand what you mean about being pissed off - I've become so discouraged with trying to contact people and getting no response, or nasty responses, etc. that I really feel done here! I'm currently on the 6 month list myself and I will fulfill those obligations - as I always have in the past - but I've no desire to play here any more. I don't understand it - we have things set up here on a much looser basis than other book exchange type sites because people wanted to maintain the friendliness of the site - but it's just not working - too many people have just left owing books and after a few of those it spoils the fun.

Ah here was that venting post of mine.
Thank you girls for the response. I so understand you Mikki. Sometimes I feel like you really deflated especially when I visit zoho which I do every other day.
Sometimes you just need to vent even though there is nothing to do about it.
(is there?)
Other sites are so much more stricter and we have to remember it will never get back as it used to be and even then we had some people who did not fill there obligations but that was a rarity while not it seems to be normal.
But I am human and I need to nag about it sometimes.
