The Assistant (unpostables)

Hey everyone! Good news to share. One of our active members here will be taking over as the monitor of the Wish List Multiples thread. Gloria B. will be starting a new thread April 1 and will be closely monitoring things here. She will be the main person to contact with questions about how to properly use the thread, but we are always happy to step in if needed. Keep in mind that all swaps that take place in the Bazaar are "unofficial", meaning we cannot guarantee swaps here as we can when done through the official system.

We know this thread has been very useful for many, but has gone unmonitored or very loosely monitored lately. We hope this change will keep it more active and more beneficial for everyone.

Thank you Gloria for stepping up!!

Three cheers for Gloria!!! Thank you Gloria, much appreciated!

I created a two question survey for WL Multiples users.  Answers are anonymous.  Please go here to answer (copy and paste into your browser):  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VGLTWD2

If you have comments on the survey or the Multiples thread, please PM me.

We've had a number of great members support this thread (thank you all) and thanks to Gloria for keeping it going!  

Thanks for stepping up to the plate, Gloria! We appreciate it.

PMing William for:

UNPOSTABLE BLU-RAY
Full Metal Jacket 4k UltraHD + Blu-Ray Combo. UPC not in system 883929721979 4 credits buddied NEW 1/24

I signed up for the free survey, and have reached my max of 10 responses so will end the survey.  Results: 60% want the list to continue to be changed monthly.  Only half the respondents wanted to have the opportunity to be placed in the first slot, so it will continue as a first come first serve, and I will not place my own list at the top, but jump in like everyone else. Thanks for taking the time to respond. The new list will start on April 1st.  

Questions about the changes...

Will it be the job of the first poster to include all of the rules and regs?

Will there be any changes in said rules?

.......

Thanks, Gloria, for shouldering the responsibilities for this thread. It is absolutely my favorite aspect of swapadvd.

Due to the economy many of us desire to save money on postage when mailing DVDs. We've been given permission from the Team to have this thread listing our WL DVDs to be sent in multiples. The intent is for those who have several wish listed DVD and Blu-ray titles to be able to send them to the same home in one package. It is NOT intended to bypass the FIFO system. There are guidelines that must be followed within this thread, so please read below before posting to this thread.

The Team has determined that all offers of WL Multiples are to be listed only in this monthly thread and must adhere to the following guidelines.

How to Post in this Thread

You are not allowed to create “hold” posts in order to save a slot in the Multiples thread for your list. It's unfair to people who are prepared to post.

Create your post heading indicating the minimum order you will accept. You may offer to combine your WL items with DVDs on your Tower in order to provide another option for meeting your minimum request. 

• Generally, minimum requests are set from 2 to 3 DVDs or more. Other types of minimums require orders of a set number credits.  Each person determines the minimum order they will accept.
• Should your list fall below the minimum you have set, edit your post accordingly.  For example, you require a minimum request of three, but you only have one WL title left, remove your post or edit to add more available WL titles.
• You may not require that multiples orders include DVDs from your Tower! Including your tower movies is allowed to provide an option for meeting your minimum, but is not allowed to be required.
• For new/inexperienced posters, I am willing to "vet" posts before they get posted to the new thread. I will verify as quickly as possible. Once verified, I’ll then send a PM letting them know that the post is fine for transferring to the new thread or I’ll PM that it needs edits before posting to the thread.
• Avoid using red font, which is hard on the eyes.

List your titles. ALL DVDs listed MUST have an accompanying UPC or link to SwapaDVD to verify wish list status.

• Links to SwapaDVD (titles) are always helpful, since they will immediately tell a person when they look at it if that version is on their WL.
• If you need help inserting links, please ask.

All Transactions that take place in this topic MUST have a SwapaDVD footprint, so that transaction fees remain intact.

• To create this footprint, the sender must post all wish listed Multiples items directly to the receiving member's wish list.  This will trigger a transaction in the system.
• Instructions for posting directly to a member's Wish list is here:
  http://www.swapadvd.com/help/help_item.php?id=113
• Transactions are being done on the "honor system" between the two involved parties. There is no recourse if one of the involved people fails to follow through with their end of the bargain. We are NOT responsible with how transactions turn out. Please do things fairly and with honesty.
• In your Settings (under Privacy Controls) click to allow your wish list to be public.  This will allow the person who is listing these DVDs to be able to post DVDs directly to your wish list.

Sort your list using headings

• Generally, your lists should begin with WL DVDs or WL Blu-ray headings.
• Refer to other posted lists for guidance on how to create your headings.
• You may also add the number of wishers, but this is not mandatory.

Other Category Headings You May Offer to Provide More Options

• WL UNPOSTABLES must be listed separately as such. 
  • Unpostables should include either links or UPCs
  • Unpostables must include the reasons for unpostablity (no upc, no art, copied art, damaged art)
  • If an unpostable is not listed in the swapadvd database, outside links may be acceptable provided they match the DVD you are offering
• Posts may include offers of incentives or additional deals to reach a credit minimum. Incentives may include UV/HD codes, reduced credit items and/or freebies using the headings that apply.
• Zero Copies / Only copies in the system must also include a link or UPC (b/c they're postable) and must be listed as Zero Copies or Only Copy in a separate grouping.
  • Zero Copy means there are NO copies listed as available in the SwapaDVD system.
  • Only Copy means the only copy posted into the system is available on your Tower.  (Copies “On Hold” on your Tower DO NOT qualify as Only Copies when there are other copies available in the system.)   
• If you have a complete SET or TV series and only some are WL'd and some aren't, you can offer all of these here.  It is perfectly understandable that you'd want to keep the set together!  You must state which are and are not WL'ed. You may offer a deal on them if you wish. 
• If you have a set of three DVDs that are WL'd and say one of them is damaged slightly...you can offer the set. The damaged DVD must be clearly described.
• NEW GUIDANCE ON LISTING FREEBIES: To keep the Wish list Multiples uncluttered, if you are posting a long list of freebies, please create a separate post and provide the link to that post in your list.  If you require instructions on how to do this, please ask.  If your freebie list is shorter you may create a freebie list separating each title with a slash (/). Refer to other posted lists for guidance.

Manage Your Lists

We will NOT be keeping a post organized for these DVDs.  PLEASE follow these guidelines in your own posts:

• When some of your DVDs are taken, come to your post and remove them. You may strike-through them while they are pending and delete them once they are sent.
• When all of your DVDs are taken, come to your post and delete ALL remaining information.
• If you have more to offer later, you can edit that post OR you can create a new one.
• Keep your posts updated and current.  If people ask for a DVD that is no longer available it will be wasted time for you and frustrating for them.
• Experienced mems should continue to post and check their own post. Edit it immediately if there is a problem.
• Experienced mems will have an hour after posting to complete their edits.
• Any DVDs you have remaining from the previous month can be transferred to the new thread.

Uncluttering the WL Multiples Thread

• All requests/orders should be posted at the end of the thread.  If you post that you are PMing a member, list the titles you are requesting.  Come back and delete ALL information after DVDs are posted to you.
• Periodically, delete your older “newly added” posts
• Do not post chit chat PMs in the thread, such as thanking people or informing them when you are mailing. Those posts can be done privately.

What is NOT Allowed

• This thread does NOT give the go ahead to requiring a "minimum order" on your normal SwapaDVD account from your Tower. 
• You cannot ask for more than your post offers.  For example, if your post states "want to send in multiples of 3" then your post MUST offer at least 3 postable WL titles.
• You cannot ask or offer more than the "SwapaDVD price" (1 credit per DVD or 2 credits per Blu-Ray) at any time. 
• "Buddying" credits for postable items in this topic is not allowed, nor any practice that would cause or create the bypassing of SwapaDVD transaction fees.
• Do not list only ONE DVD in this thread, especially not with the statement of "first to PM me gets it.”

“Bad Links” and penalties for not following the rules:

A dead link that does not direct to any--or the correct—title. You will be given one day to correct. If you need help creating links, ask for help. Posting a dead link is not considered an infraction; failure to correct a dead link will result in that title being removed from your post.

A “bad link” is a listing that includes a title with multiple copies in the system and is categorized as Zero Copy/Only Copy that is misrepresented as a wish listed title. This is a serious misuse of the WL Multiples thread.

Failure to follow the “bad link” rule will result in the following:

1. A post with a bad link will be removed.  The member will have 48 hours within which to fix their post. They will be required to submit the list to be vetted before they can repost in the thread.
2. A second breach of the rules, the post will be removed.  A 2-week suspension will be imposed, and member will be required to send their list to be vetted before it can be posted.
3. Upon a third breach of the bad link rule, the post will be removed, and the member will be banned from posting in the WL Multiples for one month.
4. In the event that a member (who has been previously banned from posting for one month) posts another bad link post, the post will be removed and member will be reported to the Team. This may/will, at the discretion of the Team, result in account suspension for an unspecified time.

Thank you for taking the time to read the Guidelines. 

These rules have been approved the Team.
