[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My buy nothing has the opposite problem — our admin takes months (like up to 6 months) to admit new members to the group because she’s “busy” but has rejected all offers of support from other members to maybe help clear out the backlog.[/quote]

Oh my gosh, is this in Silver Spring, by any chance?  I have been trying to join my neighborhood group for years, and I finally gave up.  I do freecycle instead.[/quote]

Either you are not in bounds for the group you are trying to join, or you are already in another group

Those are my guesses[/quote]

You would think, but neither are true. So, I have given up.  Local charities and freecycle get our stuff. [/quote]

Hahaha, I'm the first poster on this thread and no, the people wanting to get in are legit local residents.  The admin has been asked about it and responded that she does it in batches, and no, she does not want help.  But her batches are scary far apart to the point the most people like PP just give up.  Sadly, my group is not Silver Spring, so apparently this is not just a one-off admin problem.  Although I think I prefer it to the simmer nonsense -- I prefer that my group tends to gravitate to first responder, random, or pick-up locations/times work best for me as rational for choosing when there's signficant interest for an item.[/quote]
