So I posted a survey in G.I.F.T., do get people's opinions on things. Now some of the answers I felt I needed to respond to. Remember, I do not know who answered what in the survey.
I shall post the original question in the survey, the answer that was given, and them my reply. I will not edit the original answer in any way.
Q: What do you like most about G.I.F.T.?
A: "I rarely go on it and i rarely get gifts.. but i saw pictures.. that you give out lots and lots.. so i like it... and yeah"
R: Try coming on more? I don't usually give to people who rarely come on for a few reasons. I'd rather help people who help keep the thread alive by talking, it's kinda the only thing I ask for in return for the contests and donations I give and do. Also I might miss you, I can't be on 24/7 so you might only appear for a moment when I'm gone. Being a regular in GIFT gives you a higher chance of being gifted to by me or someone in the thread.

Q: What would you like to see more in G.I.F.T.?
A: "More donations o: The donations should go to the people who were hacked, or something. Not rich ppl questing something no matter what the surcumstance"
R: I donate to regulers in the thread, no matter if they are "rich" or not. Why? Well just because someone has an Angelic Halo, doesn't mean they don't need any help with the angelic bracelet they're questing. Saying rich people don't need any help or gold is just rude. I consider their quests to be on the same priority help level as poor people. ( As long as they are regulars in the thread. )
Now when it comes to people that were hacked.. I do not usually give to people whom rush into G.I.F.T. claiming 'I've been hacked!" simply because they could be lying. I DO tend to give to people who are regulars in the thread and have claimed to be hacked. Since they've been in the thread for a long period, I know them better and can trust they wouldn't lie. But this doesn't mean I -know- a person's been hacked. If you don't TELL me, I won't always know. Sometimes I'll turn my sigs off, sometimes I'm not in the thread, sometimes the gossip system fails.

Q: What would you like to see less of in G.I.F.T.?
A: "Les Donations to people who don't really need it."
R: There really is no such thing. If you're hanging around my charity, you're in the shot range for a donation. Plus most people in the thread are always questing something, this goes with what I said earlier about rich people and donations (See the response above this). Also, sometimes there is a birthday or gaiaversairy or a Holiday.. I like to give on those when I can.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: How do you feel G.I.F.T.'s ownership is? Ten being highest, and one being lowest.
A: "No one actually gives gifts."
R: Er.. I give donations mostly all the time, sometimes their random, sometimes they're with contests. You might not always catch when I'm giving. Otherwise as for people in the thread, some do give, some don't. It's not a requirement as it's my job and responsibility to give, not theirs. It's just encouraged since it is nice helping people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: What do you like most about G.I.F.T.?
A: "I get ignored some of the times im on thats why i just reaad and post hoping someone will read"
R: I do find most people whom complain about this, are the same people who don't really attempt to start a conversation. Sometimes people will miss you saying "Hi" or "-Walks into thread.- I'm bored." Before complaining about being ignored, hop into a conversation that's taking place or target a person in particular "@Serenith Hey there! How are you?" Besides that, yes sometimes posts are missed, sometimes people ignore everyone but the person their talking to. I don't think this is on purpose, it's just concentrating on someone in particular.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: What would you like to see more in G.I.F.T.?
A: "More variety in the people and less people donating to the same people"
R: I donate to people who are in G.I.F.T. regularly. Though I do try to do what I can to have more people come into the thread. I would very much like more people to come into the thread for my help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: What would you like to see less of in G.I.F.T.?
A: "I would like to see less of people complaining about stuff. Less of everyone being like "Awww I need a donation" "
R: Unfortunately I can't totally control greedy people. I do what I can to point out the rules, but people who feel that way generally can't change for a few years. They have to mature first.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: What would you like to see less of in G.I.F.T.?
A: "can,insects,inks"
R: I don't give any of these.. at least not unless the person is questing them. Usually people will donate them to the thread and I just have them accumulate in the inventory until I see someone who wants them. Most of the people in the thread I know are the same way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: How do you feel G.I.F.T.'s ownership is? Ten being highest, and one being lowest.
A: "I think that there should be a co-owner. Even Sere needs help every now and then! >:3"
R: The Mod Captains I have now are basically the same thing. Along with the regular mods to. They can always host contests, just like me, they all have the power to deal with rule breakers (Mod Captains can ban). So there really isn't a need for anyone with that position. Plus I feel any type of "owner" should have been with the thread from the beginning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: How do you feel G.I.F.T.'s ownership is? Ten being highest, and one being lowest.
A: "too mcuh information?
i guess its sorta hard to readd.."
R: The only information on there is on the first post and Rules. The other posts just have names and contests and donation related stuff. If you just scroll through it without actually looking at the posts it looks like a lot, but it really isn't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: How do you feel G.I.F.T.'s ownership is? Ten being highest, and one being lowest.
A: "Well, the owner should be on more, and talk more!"
R: I try to be on whenever I can, which is usually for hours per day. but I do have college classes along with a life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: What would you like to see less of in G.I.F.T.?
A: "The random "I'm just here to chat!" people. It's great if there are a few, but when it becomes an all out nothing but conversation, what is the point of calling it G.I.F.T.?"
R: G.I.F.T. is a Charity, not a DTTPAY thread. Without conversation, what is there? If you would rather have people giving you gifts with little to no personal interaction, go to one of those threads. This thread is about people meeting other people, becoming friends, while trying to get donations and gifting on the side. I believe it selfish to think if GIFT has many people talking, GIFT itself isn't giving. It just isn't true. In fact I give more to people who do talk and such.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also, there has been a couple people wishing I'd be on more. I promise I get on as much as I can. I have started college, and I do like some time away from a screen to myself. Lately I've been a bit stressed, and tired. I assure you I'm no fun when I'm like this, so I tend to avoid making too much conversation at that time so you don't think I'm mad at you in particular. Sometimes I'll also get on, but just not post, for the reason above.
I must make it a point that just because YOU'VE not received a donation, does not mean GIFT doesn't give. I know a lot of people just love to get on a charity's case because they didn't receive a donation. Believe me there IS a reason as to why you've not received a donation. Perhaps you're relatively new, don't come around often enough, aren't on when a contest is in play, maybe you've even gotten on the wrong side of people. Believe me, I don't want to give to people who are rude, or are negative in some way.
