FREECYCLE ETIQUETTE

1) NO POLITICS & NO SPAM. If you SPAM I will contact you off list and give you 24 hours to reply. If you do not reply I will remove you from the list.

2) SUBJECT LINE
You MUST use one of these phrases, along with the item name and city where it is located:
OFFER: old couch
TAKEN: old couch
WANTED: old couch. [Please use this one sparingly]
ADMIN: new idea

3) You CAN offer pets, BUT keep it legal & be lovingly careful.

4) KEEP IT FREE.

5) NO TRADING PLEASE.

6) FYI: RESPONSES GO ONLY TO OFFERER. It keeps down the # of e-mails.

7) PICK UP. arrange as you like, generally, 1st responded, with charities getting priority if you choose. We discourage "1st person here gets it..." as that can be a waste of time and gas for those who come later, which defeats our purpose. PLEASE post taken or spoken for-one or the other, not both.

8) REPOSTING. You may re-offer or re-ask for an item ONLY once per calendar month. This is a firm rule.

TIPS TO ORGANIZE ALL OF THE NEW E-MAILS YOU ARE GETTING:

a) CREATE A SEPARATE E-MAIL FOLDER & AUTOMATICALLY HAVE Conejo Yalley FREECYCLE STUFF GO TO IT. Create a separate folder in your Outlook Express & have Conejo Valley Freecycle stuff sent to it automatically with a new rule under tools/message rules/mail/
b) SET TO DAILY DIGEST OR NO E-MAILS. Realize, too, that you can set your personal preferences on the webpage (under members).

Welcome and lets start recycling by using Fr
