    Hi
    as a Freecycle moderator it is good to know that allowing these p****taking wanteds through on to the groups does not gain the p***takers anything.
    Hi moonpixiewitch, the p***takers give us a good laugh if nothing else.
    in any situation you will get those who try to abuse, that's just human nature, and some might not realise what they are doing.
    I've supplied one item to a wanted request and listed two items and was happy with the outcomes. Some people have decided to stop using freecycle because of other peoples attitudes and that is their choice.
    Moderating the sites to keep everyone happy is A: impossible and B: a full time job. The four sites I have joined run as well as can be expected and try to control quantity and value of wanted posts but those that slip through don't really matter, they might get posted here and get ripped to pieces.
    keep up the good work and just try to do your best

    Hi there,
    I have been trying to get hold of a silver under counter fridge,
    washing machine & dishwasher on my own local group. However not any
    luck yet. Just wondering if anyone within the central group can help.
    Needed because doing up our kitchen and fridge freezer has packed up.
    Items will need to be working as we have got a baby due within the next
    5 months so hygiene is important. Can collect from anywhere. Many
    thanks in advance
    GONE ENGLAND
