NO CROSSPOSTING

Have noticed a lot of this lately.

From Freecycle Rules, Regs and Policies

*NO Cross-posting. Freecycle works best when kept at the local level. If you belong to more than one Freecycle group, POST TO ONLY ONE GROUP at a time. Due to the number of complaints received on this issue, we ARE enforcing this rule more strictly now and messages cross-posted to several groups at once may be deleted without notice at the moderator's discretion.

To avoid cross-posting, please follow these simple suggestions. If you want to Offer an old freezer (or whatever), send your message to the group closest to you first and consider that one your "home" group. If after a few days you don't get any takers for your item, move on to the next group. This is more for your benefit than anything else - if you send the Offer to thousands of people across the state, you'll get more replies than you can answer and most of them too far away to make it worthwhile. The same goes for wants - try your home group first and post to the other groups ONLY if you don't find it in the first group. We don't mean waiting an hour or two either - we mean days!
