Wait so he can’t add his opinion because he’s an admin? Geeze Stewart you are the biggest instigator and its funny how you try and act all high and mighty, I would gladly accept the same exact gift I sent without calling anyone a “jerk face” lol not sure what you mean by that, also since you guys seem to like to give so much maybe you can give me something for the person who didn’t ship to me.
Also I didn’t mean to thank your post. Sucks there isn’t a undo thank you haha
I think this boils down to a lack of respect for the rules. I’m glad I didn’t participate. I have no patience for people who make excuses when the rules were posted WELL in advance. I would encourage people to post what they receive and when they receive it. I can form my own opinion when considering trades with these members in the future.
I have been in two other secret santa things, but they are really no different from this.
You will always have people who express their opinions about not receiving gifts and you will always have people who just don’t ship according to the rules or set date. Accept it! Whats the point of bashing each other? Not trying to play peacemaker but just pointing out the obvious.
I think the first time I was in the SS, it was done by icthus and I didn’t get my gift until like February or something.
Second time was this past year which yomagic organized.
In both cases, there were people who complained about not receiving their gifts. In both SS, there were a handful of people who couldn’t ship by the given date and had legitimate reasons.
Just saying … if you are going to go into this again, expect it. Whether its SS or YYE gift exchange, life happens.
Ok so you have no reason to listen to me but I think it would benefit many people if we cut the negative aura this thread is getting, and keep it to people posting pictures of what they got. Jcpdx503 I totally understand why you are upset with not getting your package but please, go scream in a pillow or something. Again please if your in a mood just ignore me and go back to your rant, but you may not realize that this is not helping your reputation on this forum.
I’ve heard it all before man, I appreciate the kind words. I’m just not to worried about my reputation right now especially since all you need is money to buy yoyos and as far as trades go and I have what they want they’ll ask for it. I’m gonna be quiet now tho, and then when nothing happens ill continue to stay quiet and you’ll see that no one cares wether or not some people have received their gifts or not.
Ps I wasn’t trying to be rude to you bro, I totally understand what you meant but I just keep getting upset that people who received their gifts are telling people who haven’t that we basically have to be quiet, Ive always been this way and 22 people had no problem dealing with me. I’m just saying man, it’s super hard to be nice when people disregard the rules, especially when I’ve never been big on reputation or what other people think. In all seriousness what do you think would be the best way to go about it? Because I have no idea who the person is or I would have been sending him PMs for not shipping instead of leaving them on here
I agree 1000% but there’s people who haven’t shipped yet, and haven’t sad anything. Offstring Stewart at least gave a heads up before the deadline that he was having issues but other people haven’t even bothered updatin the thread or at least asking yomagic to inform their recipient without taking out the excitement of the randomness and knowing the persons name. This is my first time doing
Something like this and by the way yomagic made t sound everything was legit so I decided to partake I apologize that I was so mad but I just felt like no one cared about the people who hadnt received and I figured that if I’m not gonna receive anything why bother being nice? I have only been expressing my thoughts and personal opinions and yeah they might be straight forward and blunt but I’m my eyes that’s not rude; but as the saying goes truth hurts, I just wish someone could update us or the people who haven shipped yet could do so. It’s not like I can get the gift I sent back which is why I’ve been upset because before the gift exchange everyone agreed to the rules so why are they changing now 6 days after the
Deadline does shipping that long? And of it did can’t they have enough courtesy to give an update? That’s all saying man. I understand people have life’s to live but if that’s the case what’s so hard about letting us know so we aren’t waiting for nothing
At this point, I think the people who are running late, they know who they are, should be at least sending a pm to their recipient and let them know whats going on. Last week, I felt that more patience was needed, but at this point, even if you used parcel post from coast to coast the package should have arrived. You should know where your package is (you used tracking, right?) and if its not delivered, lost in the mail, you didn’t ship, whatever, you really need to let someone know. A little more communication could probably save alot of the hard feelings.
Just a simple message to yomagic like, Hello it has been more than a week after the deadline and i am starting to worry about my package. Did my sender leave a tracking number so i can track it?
If he did not leave a tracking # then i could talk to him on your behalf and try to work things out.
There’s stating your opinion, then there’s being rude while doing it. You were extremely rude, as I and a few others have said. Even a few chatters agree with me. Please, if you are so worried about getting your yoyos, then just do it without being rude. Bashing is not the same as “Stating your opnion”. It’s called etiquette. It’s called manners. It’s called you were blatantly rude as could be. So again, let’s not turn this into a finger pointing game. I messed that up, I see. So please, for those who are so easily offended that they did not get their fair share of great throws, and sent out theirs,do not join the other Exchanges that Yomagic sets up, as you have already stated your disgust. Thank you, Have a nice day, and don’t let that door slam you out.
Not my fault you took what I said as rude that’s on you. I could take hat you at as rude but what you say doesn’t matter weather it’s rude or not. That’s what I don’t get your so worried about what I do or say but all you have to do is ignore me, after all you’ve shipped your gift and receive yours so I’m not even sure why you still bother haha and you always contradict yourself you talk about pointing fingers but that’s all you’re doing
Okay, JCP, if it was only me saying you’re being rude, then you’d have an argument…Many of us are saying it. So Pleae, stop it. Stop trying to make yourself seem all high and mighty, by putting others down. I am really getting annoyed by you, as are many others. If you don’t like what has happened, leave the forums completely, please.
Putting others down? I’m talking to you haha. No one else seems to care enough to continue being in here arguing. Wait so if I don’t like the fact that I got ripped off in a gift exchange I should leave the forums? Hahah you wish. You make no sense bro I did my part in this gift exchange, if you don’t like that I expressed myself then bounce. No one is forcing you to reply to me or to even read what I write, you keep saying people this people that but you’re the only one who continues to talk to me. The rude comments I make come from your failed insults at me, sorry that you and all these people you talk of dont like the way I express myself, all you have to do is ignore me haha I’m here cause I’m trying to get my gift, you have yours so please just stop replying. If you don’t want me to be rude then don’t speak to me it’s that simple
Also what exactly did I say that was so rude that you’re telling me I should leave the forums, it’s quite funny that because I don’t like the fact that I got ripped off in a gift exchange that was supposed to be legit I should leave the forums? How much sense does that make? Also another thing if I’m annoying you why do you keep replying to me? I wouldn’t even say anything if you wouldn’t keep giving me something to reply to. I’m not too worried that people think I’m rude, there’s 22 people who think otherwise in my feedback, what else matters besides that? Some of them are veterans of the community some work 30+ 40+ 50+ feedback, I’ve never been rude on this forum untill I got ripped off so I apologize that you want me to take the fact that I got ripped off lightly and to just forget about it but that’s not the type of person I am
This is a gift exchange. Jcp, message yomagic and deal with it personally through him. I havent received mine, and im currently working on finding out whats up, and I have not had to argue one bit.
Wait… So you’ve gone about it the quiet and nice way and nothing has happened? That’s what I’m saying man, even if I had Been nice no one cares. Especially since everyone else received their gifts what reason would they have to care about who hasn’t received their gifts? That’s what I mean, people around here wanna act like they’re so giving and nice but here we have a few people who haven’t received anything and no one even cares. I will not say anything else and watch bro nothing will happen, that’s why I haven’t been quiet because nothing is happening so why bother pretending something will
Im just hoping. I just pmd yomagic today, hopefully he says something by tomorrow when i get out of class. And i am not worried yet, I get a yoyo almost every day, from all the trades I do. Got 3 today, at least 3 tomorrow, and at least 250 string monday.
If they sincerely don’t need a gift back, then +1 for them. But you want one, you didn’t sign up for a charity donation, or a “Ship within the next 2 months, and it’s all cool” exchange either. So anything you have said is valid because what you signed up for, is what should go down.
I know my 2 cents is only worth about 2 cents, so don’t get riled up if this offends you
This is exactly why I don’t partake in these kind of things. I feel like I would either get shafted by not receiving anything, the organizer may conspire to take the better gift givers, OR I would send out something valuable and get dirt in return.
Yes above is worthless, to any help, but it’s my prelude to the next statement:
I think whoever hasn’t shipped yet, should probably get Negative feedback.
