IMHO a thanks at the very least should be part of the rules of participation.

I so totally agree a thank you should be mandatory. Secret Pals not even having the courteously to say thank you.
Another question that should be on the form is can and will you take pictures of what you receive.

I have been a participant in SS for many years.
It used to be fun. Past few years things changed as did the participants playing.
They seemed to make their own rules and had their own form of meanness.
When you sign up it is :your" job to read all the rules before joining.
All people are different.
All people were raised different.
Life is no longer the fun it was on this swap.
People that join are not required to join in the banter.
They are not required to thank you; although it's nice when they do.
Several participants feel it needs to be done in private PM's.
I'd personally appreciate it if we could all leave the act of "judging others and their ways"
out of the SS swap. That is not why it was created. In fact it has driven a lot of players
to not return. This was designed for fun. Try enjoying it.
Terri goes through a lot to do this for us every year. Please respect her and her rules.
Thank you

I am in shock that I just got admonished for saying we should all say thank you. Sorry to be one of the new participants ruining your fun with all of my crazy suggestions. I've sat on this all morning, and must say this is the first time I've felt someone being rude to me in my time here. Everything evolves, even secret Santa games. To basically say times were better before new people arrived is so offensive. I will enjoy putting my package together and show thankfulness for whatever I may receive, but I don't think I will post here again. I wouldn't want to taint any clique that had formed in years past.
