Ok, I didn't participate in last x-mas secret santa event. Mostly because I don't celebrate the holidays. Anyway, from reading threads it seems there was a lot of fucking going on as far as not sending gifts. So, I ofter this simple idea that should make the next one more fun and satisfy everyone involved.
1. A company sponsors the event.
1. Participants should be known in the webmaster community. That is other webmasters have met and done business with them. Not just some name on the board. This should weed out roommates and other one hit wonders and also keep people accountable for participating.
2. To participate a simple $10 buy in should be made. The proceeds of the buy in will go to the charity of choice (which will be announced) for the company willing to sponsor the Secret Santa. This will weed out the last of the opportunist trolls.
3. A list of all matches will be kept by the sponsor of the Secret Santa event. In the event of a dispute, said sponsor will contact both parties. If an agreement is not met, then they get outed on the boards.
4. Everyone involved has a fun time, a charity gets some money and no more of this "roommate" send copied games, or I didn't get shit.
The end.
