re: Coming: 3 point intl mooches I've been reading some of these comments and it's important to remember that you STILL have an advantage if you send internationally. You can get three points and use them to get three domestic books. I can see some people are very outraged, but who ever heard of a currency that appears out of nowhere? I pay 2 dollars for a coffee but the shop gets 3?? No. Anyway, I will still be sending and mooching internationally, I have limited space on my bookshelves so I have found that it's healthy to have an equal input as output, just keeping the books in circulation. The only people this really effects is people who want to mooch more than they give, which is what we should be stopping. Angels 13 years ago
re: Points policy change thoughts Hi, I quite like the current point system but I agree with a few of the comments below. I think there will be a problem in adding one point when either accepted by the sender or marked as "received" by the moocher. If the system were changed to subtract the point from the moocher when they received the book I think people would take longer to acknowledge the receipt of a sent book. I think more reasonable would be a "frozen" point or a deposit of sorts. For example .5 points at time of mooch and .5 points at time of receipt. Or take away the point from the moocher immediately and award it to the sender only when the book has been received. I would also suggest keeping the point system as is on the international sector. Being and anglophone living in Italy I like to mooch most of my books from the USA or the UK and likewise offer mine worldwide, but there is much less incentive to do so, considering the cost of postage, if there is no gift point.
