kanyesangry if that were the case, don't you think she would be saying "I never signed up to participate!" instead of literally anything else? I'm not defending one way or another - I wasn't even active here when things went down. But your argument doesn't hold up based on her responses. Maybe she was happy to participate and then dropped the ball and totally spaced.

So, in your call out of Rajah, everyone was SO angry that she accepted to participate in the SS and then failed to meet the deadline, yes? Are you 100% sure that you didn't just click the button to match everyone whether or not they had actually clicked to confirm their participation in the email from Elfster? Because I've done that before, matched people who were in my SS pool last year because one or two people hadn't yet clicked to confirm they were in for this year and yet I *knew* they had been planning to participate. I thought I'd be saving them a step. No. I'm not a fucking moron. I don't accept invitations on behalf of others. If you haven't accepted your invitation by the draw date, you are not included in the draw (you can ask the 3 people who never confirmed one way or the other and were therefore not included in the draw). So Rajah would have had to actually accept the invitation to be included, which she did.

You had to opt in for it, not opt out. The invite list was the same pool but we all had to actively select to join. true. But the pool manager has a button that they can click that assigned SS pairs to everyone on the the list, whether or not the clicked to confirm their participation. dollars to donuts, that happened here. That isn't what happened here though LINGERLONGER

Good god, I make a mental Target shopping list most mornings and by the time I get to Target over lunch I fail to buy 90% of the things I thought I needed just hours ago.
People can space out. People can get busy. People can intend to do one thing and not to it.

Why would you have allowed Rajah to participate seeing as how she hadn't posted here in a year? If it were my pool, I would've cut her out of the girl squad. This is not the only place we post together. Rajah is much more active on the other board.

I was wondering why I got 3 emails about people requesting to join. Oh just you wait. I've denied like 7 so far. Good job. I tend to not accept request until I am on the computer since I know I will accidentally add the wrong person. I think some of the request emails went to spam.

I thought I'd be saving them a step. We had people that hit no or didn't hit anything that was involved in previous years but could not this year. None of them were put in the pool. If that was the case and someone said hey I can't do it this year we would have redone it or figured something out.

People can get busy. People can intend to do one thing and not to it. But those people usually apologize. I had had surprise major surgery yet I managed to organize and get a gift to my recipient. I couldn't do for her all I wanted to, but she got a gift. We all create wishlists from Amazon. It really doesn't take long to order a gift and have it sent directly to your recipient. Despite all this, I'm not mad I didn't receive a gift. I'm mad Rajah didn't take 5 seconds to text her Santa to thank her for the gift she received. And I'm sad that she couldn't even apologize for forgetting.

I'm not a mod and have no ability to approve anyone's request to join. Just an FYI for those who can't seem to read the "admin" under some names and not others.

That's an uncomfortable thread to waltz into. There is no way you all would've breezily accepted a "oh god, I spaced." apology after pages and pages of people calling her rude and worse.

I didn't say anything until after she logged in, liked some of my posts, and yet refused to say "oh shit, the reveal was today! I'm sorry I'm late." Or say anything, in fact. She totally ignored it.
