Really not caring for the messages in some player's names saying "no tar" or "no string", etc. Frankly, it makes me want to give them nothing at all. If you have a friend at a higher level that is giving you such low level fixers, delete them. These less than positive messages are irksome. But then, I don't claim to speak for anybody but myself and perhaps I stand alone in this. Thx, Luonto I am very sorry, Luonto. I did that recently. I put NOthread as part of my name, but I changed it when two of my friends here mistook it to mean I didn't want gold thread.

I did it with the hopes of helping two of my non-board friends. One just reached level 100 and the other is around level 80. They will both send me CIs from my WL, but then send white thread.

I believed if they were sending me thread, then they were also sending all their friends thread. I was hoping to encourage them to look for something else to send.

I have another non-board friend who sends me random CIs (not from my WL) and tar.

In all these cases, they are friends I had before I found this board. They are nice players who I do not want to delete. Just because I found this board and have wonderful friends from here, I cannot compare them to my board friends. They will probably never TT. They try, but are limited in sending CIs from my WL. But they all send thread or tar.

If that was their only activity, then I would delete them. I have even deleted some friends from FB because their habits indicated they only wanted to take, but not share. If they won't share with me at least a little, then I figure they're not sharing with others who don't TT and shower them with CIs and collections.

In conclusion, I never meant any harm or offense to anyone when I put a negative message in my name. My intention was to help a couple of other players – not only for me, but for all their game friends. Unfortunately, I don't see anything I can do that will help. I will keep them as friends, celebrate their successes, and enjoy whatever they send. I just hope their other friends don't delete them for their lack of knowledge of gifting freebies.

If anyone can think of a way to help players like the ones I have, I'd love to give it a try. Otherwise, I feel so helpless just sitting by and watching them not know any better.
