RickM said:I would add that if someone had their listings removed because they didn't check in that they should also be notified of the action, along with instructions on how to get re-instated to the swap. Something like...
We haven't heard from you since you registered for the swap entitled xxxxxxxxxxx. We are marking you as inactive in this swap. To re-enable your participation in this swap, please (re-activation instructions)
That way, they're made aware of their status and how to get back in.

Beginners/Lurkers?Learners:
Maybe we could have a "Just Browsing" designation when signing up for a swap so we are not waiting for some activity to indicate an active or inactive swap 'member'?
I was "Just Browsing" in DND's swaps and let DND know that...should I have made a greater effort to let everyone know?

Shipping Seeds to Host:
As per a discussion on the Chat thread in poisendartfrog's swap just concluded, there seems to be a preferred way to send seeds to the host that is most likely to result in the arrival of undamaged/crushed seeds, bubble envelope. If this is so, perhaps this packaging could be the standard return method? And a "tracking number" also seems critical for determining if a package sent will arrive and when. If the 'fee'. for returning dibbed seeds is $7, then my cost to get seeds to host should be $7 also , plus the cost of a 'bubble envelope'. ????
