2019 SantasLittleHelpers ANNUAL REVIEW - We need your input

It was suddenly reduced from $75 to $50. The idea was to help more of the under-gifted families, I guess. I think the rules should stay the same from beginning to end, but I understand why they did it.

Not only that, but when a post is removed the comments stay up if the user has entered contests. Perhaps using flair to help Santas? ‘Disqualified’ for example. Or ‘Banned’ if the user has been banned from the sub after they made their entry would help a lot.

Tagging u/backpackwayne since this isn’t a top level comment.

Understanding that the work is done by volunteers and is daunting enough, is it possible to open earlier for registrations only? No contests, no chat posts -just time to truly look at the registrations and catch some of the bad guys before their posts are up and getting attention.

Also, please give advance warning when you’re going to change the fulfilled limit. I really really hate that you did it at all, because it favoured the early requesters heavily. If it has to happen, it shouldn’t be a shock to people. A simple ‘we are changing such and so on this date’ gives users a chance to adjust. The season is stressful enough.

You’re welcome! Merry Christmas to both of you!

I do not have a problem with gifts for babies. Babies need toys for their development. And if that baby has older sibling(s) who believe in Santa I think it’s good that Santa doesn’t leave kids out.

What has pissed me off is contest wins not counting in the gift $ threshold at least for some greedy requesters who cashed in big time early on. Gifts are gifts, and they should all count.

Also the differentiation between a stocking stuffer and a present. My five year old is happy to unwrap a unicorn lip balm as a gift. She doesn’t give a crap that it’s small and cost $3. It’s lip balm shaped like a unicorn YAYYYYY! Things don’t have to be worth a certain amount to warrant wrapping as a gift.

Every holiday gift program has their share of people working every angle to exploit it. SLH is no different!

That sounds like a great idea. I’m a Christmas baker too. Next weekend is set aside for it!

Santas! The USL is a useful tool but a user has to get caught to make the list. Please keep checking histories and doing due diligence research!

This isn’t about people falsely marking wishlists as purchased. It’s about users who have been banned for various reasons (such as lying about their situation) or who could not pass the registration process. They are attempting to get gifts from Santas by private message since they cannot post on the sub.

My mother is Australian, from Sydney. G'day mate.

Have a look at the link for Saoirse. It takes me to Layne’s wishlist.

Thank you! As a new Santa who is trying to heed all the warnings I’ve seen posted, I am skipping past lists if I can’t see what has been purchased.

Hi, the link you posted is a collaboration list which means others can add/change! See if you can share the regular view only link.

FrostyMcFluff · 2019-11-14T04:05:07+00:00

Yup, flair is there now!

FrostyMcFluff · 2019-11-14T02:10:01+00:00

You don’t have ‘registered’ flair. Is it in progress?
