NS Secret Santa....?

Okay so i had this idea and have no idea if anyone would be down to it.

Ns creates some sort of secret santa thing, where people who actually want to be involved sign up and who will actually fullfill their share of it.

 But anyways, after we get a bunch of members to sign up, mods or anyone could shuffle up and give each person a secret santa in which they ship something to the person they got, skiing related or something fun.

I don't know if this could actually happen but i wanna know what you guys think...

Such a legit idea, except some people would use it as a way to get something free and they won't send a gift to their receipiant(sp?) then everything would get complicated.. I dont know, I would do it if I had complete trust in all NSers.. In which some I dont

yeah deffinitly could be sketchy on the trust thing,

maybe we could make it only for members over a certain post count number , or site involvement or something so they'd be alot less likely to rip someone off

I would be totally down for that.  It would be sick to get some random gift from someone across the country.  If we are going to do it I say we start very soon.  If someone bails and doesn't get their person a gift, they would get destroyed on here.  As long as people aren't sending skis to each other expecting the same in return, even the worst case scenario wouldn't be horrible.

for legit members tho. like you must have good feedback/ be a contributor. Usually people don't buy from other members, donate, etc on aliases. have members vouch for other members, etc.

I love this idea. sign me up

Sick idea, and honestly it should be done by post count... I know it doesn't matter normally, but the karma system is too random and feedback is generally only given to people on B/S/T. Yeah, there are some douches with high post counts, but I feel like there's more accountability when it's someone who is obviously very active on the site. Obviously exceptions could be made for people with great feedback, or people who contribute a lot to the site in other ways besides forum posts. Someone should organize this on the swift.

yeah thats how i feel. yeah theres douches with huge post counts but they'd be less apt to rip someone off and get banned due to how active they are on the site.


i'm going to make a cult later on today so anyone that wants an invite let me know!

yeah that sounds sick... i would love an invite.
but, instead of doing this off of posts or karma or whatever, you should just invite people who you know are legit, or you could have a certain "deemed legit" person vouch for you, if that makes any sense.

so, i would be really down for this, but also, just to make sure some scammers don't... scam us, one person should write down who everybody is sending to and receiving from, just for that extra safety...

also, hypothetically if this did happen, i wouldn't want anybody else spending more than me on the present or shipping because i would feel bad. but, we should set a limit like said above for total cost etc...

There once was mod named yeti

His rep went up to his heady

He scammed some skiers

And decided to flee(ers)

And we haven't seen him since.

Basically:  Yeti was a mod, well respected, lots of posts.  He scammed some guys and we haven't seen him around since.  I think thats right, this was before karma too...
