I just got banned from freecycle
ChadTower:
Pretty much the only items I reject are animals and stuff that would never end up in a landfill. Stuff like Netflix promotional codes. I have seen very few of the mega-sob story emails Drew is talking about though I have seen them on other lists. By far the most consistent problem my list has is people trying to post animals and then getting obstinate when I won't allow it. I think the only issue I've had in the past couple of months (and my list has over 1000 members) is one person who applied over a long weekend and started sending me angry emails when I didn't approve their membership within 24 hours. I was in the mountains of NH. Sorry, lady, we have lives too.

That doesn't make sense.
1) The rules are sent to the address from which you signed up... so if you forgot about that address it must have been immediately as they are sent out by the system when your membership is approved.
2) You can't make postings from emails that aren't signed up, so either you were signed up multiple times, or it wasn't a different address.
3) There is no logging in to Freecycle. It uses Yahoo Groups.

Here's the deal. I used to have an SBC-Yahoo email address, and when I changed service providers, I lost access to the email account. However, I could still log onto Yahoo using the account name and pass, only I didn't have the email account. Well, somehow I had a new account without access to the old email, yet new email was going to it. (You should've seen the junk folder!) I wasn't expecting the email to go it, because I didn't think I had access. (Plus, I wasn't expecting a lengthy list of rules. I was able to post, so I posted. I didn't know the freecycle reputation at that point.)
Ummon:
We get all kinds of people offering pets here. And we get the sob 'wanteds'. Whatever.

I fully realize I'm being a little ---smurfette--- by reviving this age old thread but I was clearing out my mailbox that my freecycle messages got sent to. I thought I would share a few from the Springfield, MA group

necklaces, rings, earrings etc. If they are just sitting around and
you don't want or need them I will recycle them. Thank you.
ChadTower:
Oh man, I remember the arguments on the MA mod lists regarding Springfield... not only was the list full of problems but the mods were problematic too. It was so bad I gave up on the mod list as a whole since it was all infighting and crap talking about members who could not see the list. Springfield is definitely not representative of the average Freecycle list.
