As some members are waithing to join and some are wanting to leave i think there should be a waiting list so every member who leaves a new member joins.
I'm part of microgaff and think this would be a great idea, a fantastic opportunity for new members to join and hopefully we won't see so many begruding posts from certain members pulling down microgaff and its members who genuinely do offer a great service.
I was going to post this as an 'idea' but it seems there are Agee already. But my two pence worth. I have been asking to join microgaff ever since I reached the necessary criteria but I've had no joy. I do feel that it is a bit of a closed shop the way it operates at the moment and it would be nice if a fairer way was found to let more giffgaff members have the opportunity of joining. I have heard it said that it is oversubscribed and so its not possible to take on any more members Well if it is, then I think a fairer way would be to have a rolling waiting list so, for example, every member gets to join for a set time ( month, 2months 3 months etc) then they go back to the bottom of the waiting list and then the next member on the waiting list gets to take their place. That way it would give more members a chance to participate and not just be a closed shop for a select few.
Pjr totally agree I am sure some people leave! I have already heard of two leaving so a system where people can join once a place is available would be good. Ideally I would hope microgaff is reopened soon for everyone! Out of interested who has asked you join? It's not meant to be something a person is invited to do. More something you choose to do.
