This thread is addressing exactly why I stopped participating for a while. I messaged the 'used to be mods' so many times regarding the behavior of the 'Justins' (that's what I called them) and no one seemed to care. It got to the point where I couldn't even look at the threads cos I was so aggravated. That was about the time I nicknamed myself 'Pissypantspaula'.
I am so appreciative of the attention this issue is now getting. Thank you all.
We DO really appreciate all that y'all do. I doubt I could do it. (my family tells me I'm a big softie). But as I said to someone the other day, 'telling' feels a lot to me like "tattling"
I wish there was a way to get around that! Part of the concept of pif is giving. So how 'giving' is it to say no or to turn someone in??
Ya know? That makes it even harder.. Because we are who we are. (no excuses El, just observations)

The giving part of saying no or turning someone in for breaking rules is what you give back to the ENTIRE group by outing that person or denying them another "score" before they move on to someone else...probably someone you love very much and wouldn't want that to happen to, or someone who is too nice to say no and has just given a shady person their last spare atty (or whatever the item may be). Just look at it that way and I promise you it will be easier to say no and turn them in.
Especially in the Treasure chest.
I have given in the treasure chest and you can't believe how may pm's you get within minutes of posting a freebie.
Do not complain about it.
And if you do not report this to a mod, then it will continue. We should not enable those breaking the rules.
