Nah. Whoever it was should have been perma banned. That was the rules. Futuresaliors should know who it is.

Like I said in the OP, I don't mind running it this year if that's OK with everyone.
If I do end up running it, I would be more than willing to post the complete list
of who was assigned to who once January rolls around.
If everyone has their assignments by November 10th and ships by December 10th (maybe a little earlier for International) we should be good.

i'm probably down for this, but to be honest wanna wait & see what gets worked out far as rules / guidelines & such...
just a thought but maybe peeps w/ lower post counts could be in but couldn't be sent to until their person received & checked in w/ whoever takes this on? that could be a big chore depending on how many take part though... like i said just a thought...

It's tough because there are definitely some of us guys that I think would really like to participate.
I'm sure there are some happy mediums we can come to.
The previously stated idea like checking ebay and b/s/t good deals standings is reasonable. Asking for phone number / home address (and confirming phone via text) is a reasonable idea.
As is yours, where we verify that all is sent off. Could be done easily enough with tracking numbers and then verification. Because that's a lot of work I'd happily assist in the administrative end of things if all the details get hammered out. And I'm happy to discuss all of that further with whomever decides to head up the whole ordeal.
Additionally -- if ILF decides on a post count limit, that's cool, too. I'll be ready for the next go 'round.

I'd definitely be down for this if my post count / references are deemed adequate.
If stricter guidelines like supplying personal details and trade references to the organiser would help stop people from getting screwed over that would probably a good idea.
ILFers are damn generous but I wouldn't just expect people I don't know personally to trust me just because I've made more than a certain number of posts. Everyone deserves a little peace of mind.

One other thought morsel:
The more posts you have, the easier it is to Fuzzstalk and send a really ripping gift.

Maybe we ought to base it on good trade standings or ebay accounts or something else. You must give a real address, telephone #, email...etc to participate as well. That's in case you screw someone over, we can jump on a plane and stomp the shit out of you.
YOUR NOT SAFE FROM ILF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I have the cash, I'm in again this year. Gotta start soon though.
With the amount of miles I've been accumulating on American Airlines lately, I'd be more than willing to donate some miles for ass beatings.
That said, I've had nothing but AWESOME duders as Secret Satans, and I'm absolutely in this year, if this goes down.

I, too, would be happy to help with some of the grunt work (verifying phone numbers and addresses) as to ease the burden off of whoever runs it this year. If only to further underline that fact that I really want to participate and make another bitchin' gift to a deserving individual, and in return get candy. Because that's why we do it. For the candy.

Yeah I definitely agree with all of this. My post count is definitely on the low side but I would gladly submit to such measures to be able to take part. And I can definitely say that I'm no Grinch; I want to share the fuzz around as much as possible!

This is also true though. Although I'd probably be pretty easy to Fuzzstalk considering the number of times I've posted towards gas threads

Fair 'nuff. I think the post count is designed mostly to keep out the peeps who only post in the pedal giveaway threads.
If MEC's running this ship. I think it's only legit that he act as the arbiter. (Sorry to stick this on you bro, I still love your band).

The person I sent gifts seemed to enjoy them and I enjoyed stalking their posts and wrapping everything in Beiber wrapping paper. I've really enjoyed all three I've done, but every year there's been at least a few people left out and each year it's been more than the previous. Each year the restrictions have also gotten looser. It's also BS that people like Tom and Behndy have to step in and give extra gifts, which I wouldn't want because then it's not a cool SS gift that sits under your tree for weeks and you just want to say fuck it and open it, but you hold out and it's soo worth it on Christmas.
FYI, post count and reputation on here isn't everything, my SS has very high both.
You got to let it out. Is this person still active? Have you made contact?
