I have never heard of a forum site dictating that to enter a secret santa you must have been a member x number of months and done x number of posts to be able to take part. Seems bit unfriendly way to be. I have signed up on 4 different forums secret santas now, 1 I hardly ever post on, 1 I have never posted on, the other 2 more frequent posting.
i don't think it is done in an unfriendly way at all!! this is the first year i am taking part in the swap and 25 is a lot of money too me but i want to join in with the fun of the swap !! the strict rules give sense of security and also through being regular posters/members you kind of get to know each other too which makes trusting each other easier !! i would be heartbroken if i joined something like this then didn't receive something
i totally disagree with your comment as if the rules wernt as strickt as they are then i wouldn't probably be joining
