Also a HUGE thank you to twiggers for her help in letting me use her guidelines (she runs the Bal, LV, and Hermes Raok's) and for answering all my questions.
Alright, here goes.
This will be our rules so that everyone is on the same page and knows what guidelines to follow.
1. Minimum 250 posts or 1.0 post per 2 days (want people to be regulars) We started the RAOK as a new board and so many members with less than 250 posts were included (myself as one). For the next season of Raok (July, Aug., Sept.) we will be increasing the number of posts to participate to 500. This will give the new Minkettes time to get their posts up.
2. Regular contributor to respective subforum - ie; only sign up if you are a regular RM boardie please.
3. Must have posted a photo within last 30 days (please make sure you review Vlads how to post pics thread and make sure your camera works. It can be a cell, camera, whatever gets your pic on the pf) You can post pics on any of the threads that are fitting and a great one is the "your RM bags in action" Pics do not have to be of your bags, we have tons of unique threads and you can pick one that works best for you.
4. A set amount for each gift. Right now we have a price limit of $25 per gift (per month I mean). You're allowed to go over that amount once. That is not a minimum, but they should use their judgment for what the minimum should be.
5. Gifts MUST be sent out by the 21st if sending internationally, and the 25tht if sending within your country.
6. MUST PM me at rmraok@comcast.net with the delivery confirmation/tracking number. This is so that I can make sure everyone gets and sends their pressies and so that if their are delivery issues I can work on them for you.
7. Upon receipt of gift, photos must be posted within 3 days. This is so that we know everyone is participating.
Thank you all for your patience and I am hoping this makes our Raok's run more smoothly. If anyone has any ideas of things to add please feel free to let me know.
Also, if you have not received a pressies by now please let me know. You can email me at the rmraok email or pm me.
Please wait to send your buddies gift out until after this weekend if sending them early so that I can have time to weed out the people who did not participate and re-match those who need new buddies.
Also, if anyone would like to be an "angel" (which means if someone does not get a gift you could send one) please let me know. I have had a few volunteers and I think that having a few back up angels will help guarantee everyone gets a pressie.

WOW Tater, this is turning out to be a full time job for you

. I hope we are not driving you

. Thanks for putting all of this together for us.

It is 3 months long

. I had set up a few guidelines to help us but it was not enough, so after talking w/ a few members and getting some suggestions I thought it best to make a clear list so we are all on the same page. They are in effect from now on and will hopefully keep everything running smoothly.

NO!!

I know you are excited but you have to wait until the next couple exchanges are over and this RAOK is complete to reveal to your buddy who you are. You will still be matched with the same buddy for the next 2 exchanges until the new summer Raok begins July.
