[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Our busybody admin has been going off again in grand style. She actually posted this today, when talking to grown adults:

“@everyone #AdminTips
Why do we encourage simmering on your gifts? To include as many people as possible.
Busy Becky works all day, then drives her kids to activities. By the time she relaxes with her tablet, it’s 10 pm. She checks in to Buy Nothing and sees several items she would have loved to request, but they’re already gifted.
Fast Freddie keeps his phone in his pocket all day. It chirps whenever there’s a Facebook post, and since he works a desk job from home, he peeks in many times per day. So lucky Freddie puts his name in for many gifts and they’re his in just hours.
Unless you need an item gone the same day, or very quickly, please let it “simmer” for at least one whole day, so that everyone can see it. Give poor Busy Becky a chance.”[/quote]

Notice the subtle gender stereotypes being used here to manipulate the target audience.[/quote]

We had a version of this go around but I think it was "Essential Worker Emily" who we should have held things for.[/quote]
