Freecycle: The rules please.?

Question

Where in the rules does it say you have to post an Offer before a Wanted?

I can't find it.

I read someone mentioned it somewhere and it made me go look for it be I can't see it?

Can you tell me where to look?

Thanks

Answer 1

It says so in the email they send to welcome you, or the one called "etiquette".

Answer 2

There is a change to the Freecycle rules - they can no longer require an Offer before the Wanted.

It is well within the Freecycle spirit to look around and see what you might have extra of. I just found some underfloor padding left over from the flooring job, just what someone else needed.

Answer 3

The welcome email i received after signing up explained the rules and etiquette.

It is recommended but not essential. (my first post was 'wanted' rather than 'offer')

I have copied and pasted the relevant text for you.......

2) IDEALLY YOUR FIRST POST EVER TO THE GROUP IS AN OFFER. In the spirit of giving, we would ask you to consider that you make your first posting to the group an "OFFER". This is not essential, although no offer is

too small...
