Non-raters and Flakers...oh my!!

How do you deal with a flakers and non-raters? Do you start a “shame on you” list on your profile?? Do you rate them accordingly and then move on??? Unfortunately, I have just experienced my first flaker and I already have several non-raters.

If you would like to share your experiences, vent your frustrations or find out how others deal with flakers and non-raters, then this is the swap for you.

This is a really quick and easy swap conducted via email. Just answer the questions and send to your 5 partners. This swap will be open to everyone with a well filled out profile - except anyone with recent unexplained 1s and 3s. I will check profiles and remove anyone with questionable ratings.

Simple insturctions…just copy and paste the questions into your new email and send to your partners!
