I apologize for the way I smacked down yesterday, however, I am not changing anything from what I said yesterday.
All these points hold true.
I'm going to go fix some of the things so that hopefully there's no more refusals or issues with non responses.
I'm going to introduce a new way of gifting.
Each gifter can choose to send multiple pms - aka - first serve, first come. In this way, I hope to cut down on any issues of no responses (and having to ban).
As for rejection issues. This is more sticky because some people really DO have a reason for it. HOWEVER... with the gifter sending out multiple PMs, this should not matter anymore. But if it does - pm simkim at her personal account and explain why you couldn't accept it.
Some gifters do not want multiple pms sent out - one user that I know asks the person who got the egg to PM back - the rest doesn't have to PM back. That's perfectly acceptable and I think it's a great way to handle the two issues that I am unhappy with.
Some of these suggestions were from ownedbytoys. She had many wonderful suggestions.
Another thing to consider. There are MANY time zones around. You may want to keep that in mind. :)
I want this thread to last indefinitely, this thread has its own email, its own blog, and enough posts to go for a long time, if TJ keeps on doing those Christmas raffles and there are new prize breeds. That's my dream for this thread. I may turn this over to someone else to run it, aka, a successor - in the future.
Due to the inactivity of my mods (all but me and Erithan) - I may be reopening another mod application. AND one for updater mod.
So watch things, see how it all works.

I'm not using my usual font because I want everyone to read this and I don't want the funky font to make it hard to read. (I'm a bit late with the July news and all that.)
It's Independence Day for the United States. I am sorry that I have not been here as much as I should. Many things happened to me in June and really, RL takes priority over online play, even blogs.
I hope everyone is having a good time with this thread.
However, I am disappointed in some of the users. Some applied to get onto a list, but then don't respond for days. Others reject a hatchie because it wasn't influenced.
THIS IS A GIFTING THREAD. What you get is what you get. Refusing a gift is tantamount to telling the gifter that his or her gift doesn't matter because it's not good enough for you. That has resulted in people refusing to gift again.
I hope each one of you reconsider why you apply to be on the list. If you applied and landed a list spot - then you should ALWAYS maintain a free eggslot AND check your forum pm at least ONCE per day. I don't think that's too much to ask considering these are literally FREE dragons.
As of today, I will be imposing that any rejection = immediate removal from the lists.
If I get more "refusals" or "no responses" - it just might make me reconsider keeping this thread. Make me reconsider why this thread should live.
You see, common courtesy is to always check inbox for a pm daily, maintaining room on scroll for that tinsel or shimmerscale egg.
I'm not happy. Neither are the other mods. We invest a lot of time in this thread. We want you guys to have fun - that's why this thread lives. We want you to have a chance at a nice prize dragon - that's why this thread lives.
Use common courtesy. How would you feel if YOU were the gifter and the person you just tried to gift didn't respond or rejected your gift? Pretty lousy, eh. Maybe feel like never gifting again? Think about that.
If you can't be bothered to check your forum pm, then I suggest you don't apply for a spot.
There may be circumstances which causes you to have to refuse - good reasons, that is - in which case, you pm Sunny at her her own account. Also if you have any questions or comments, please pm her there.
In a few days, there will be some revising of the rules to make things much more clear regarding refusals, influences, that sort of thing, stuff so that we don't get upset gifters. Not to mention an upset Owner. :P
