    Wanted to vent my annoyance at people actually offering junk. I replied to this add
    offered-various-toys, kids magazines, clothes, suitable for car boot.

    Turned out to be a mouldy granny style shopping trolley, ripped and stained clothes (5 items) no toys, no magazines.
    The lot needed to be dumped and thats exactly what i did, some people really take the pee and expect a free dump service.

    I couldn't give something that disgusting away- i made my dh clean the rabbit hutch we gave away the other week.

    I hate it when I get something off ebay where it hasn't be cleaned up. I'm paying good money, the least they could do is give the items a quick clean.
    I always dust my items down and try to clean them up a bit.
    I bought a computer monitor on ebay once it was all covered in soil and fluff!

    :mad: At my wits end with local freecycle moderator, who insists on moderating everyones posts. I had sent a message practically begging her to post a TAKEN message (I had sent 4 in total, a further 2 after sending this email were also ignored but she doesnt have any problems posting anyone elses messages including another freecycler who constantly posts gushing about all the wonderful things she gets and how lovely all the freecyclers are, which is nice but blocks up all the offer/taken/wanteds).

    This is the message I sent This was the reply from the mod:(, i didn't even know i was looking for those words to be honest


    Why are so many FC mods jumped up little jobsworths with Napoleanic complex's? I have a very tenuous connection with Staffs Moorlands FC, but I keep getting complaints directed at me about the attitude of the mods. Saying that, some of the emails that get forwarded to me about him are comedy gold!

    He checks people against the electoral role when they apply to join, and also searches for them on facebook etc to see if they are suitable to join. If he doesn't like your email address, you're barred, if you live on the wrong side of the street, you're barred, if you don't offer high enough quality items, you're barred, if you complain about anything... you get the idea.

    And if he is really angry, you GET AN EMAIL IN BRIGHT RED CAPS TELLING YOU TO GROW UP!

    And no doubt he will find this on Google, so hello Mr F :)

    RE getting mouldy junk from the groups, it is entirely upto you if you choose to take something that has not been described correctly.

    If you turn up and something really is junk, if it is really mouldy and dirty say so. If it can be cleaned up and reused then thats another thing entirely.

    You are under no obligation to take something, simply say "no - sorry but it is not as descried so I will not be taking it from you."
