			'''Should we ban Lovejunk members for joining multiple communities?''' Please do not do this unless there is other clear evidence of abuse. Our system makes them a member of local communities when they respond to an Offer, but they cannot see Freegle communities through their LoveJunk interface. Messages sent to them are read by Lovejunk moderators rather than the members themselves. If they are remote from your location and you do not want to keep them as a member, consider adding a note ''"LoveJunk member, so not aware of local communities on Freegle. OK to remove after local interactions on Freegle – no need to ban"'' and then removing them.

	Outline of change:		=== Adjustments - September 2024 ===

			W’re going to handle messages from Freegle volunteers to LoveJunk members as follows:
			*They’ll get sent to LoveJunk’s support team.
			*They can then contact the member and/or reply.
			*This will help with the case where the LoveJunk member has already been removed on their side.
			Initially these replies will come to Edward, and I=he will pass them on to the mods. Later we’ll probably set it up so that they get put into the chat so that they come back to to volunteers as normal.
			Discussion on Discourse - https://discourse.ilovefreegle.org/t/lovejunk-members/7508

			=== Second Stage ===

			Integration (similar to that with Trashnothing) implemented with Freegle website. Edward explained with an Announcement on Discourse (sent to all volunteers) -https://discourse.ilovefreegle.org/t/announcing-integration-with-lovejunk/6810, and a discussion thread on Central - https://discourse.ilovefreegle.org/t/lovejunk-integration/5925

			Outline of change:

			'''What will happen?'''

			Offer posts from Freegle will be sent to LoveJunk.
			They will show some of them (the larger items) to their users, as free items.
			Those users can reply, and communicate back and forth with freeglers (and indirectly, trashnothing users).
			All that goes into Chat as normal, so freeglers won’t really see much difference - they can view the messages on the site/app/email as usual.
			What do the users look like in ModTools?

			You’ll see these users in ModTools as members of your groups. You’ll be able to see their name, and the LoveJunk user id. They don’t have email addresses, but messages you send will get to them just like when you send a message to a TrashNothing user.

			All the usual spam checks, chat review, remove/ban stuff should apply as normal.

			'''Can I turn this off?
			'''
			I’ll be turning this on by default for all groups fairly soon, once we’re happy that it’s working ok on a couple of trial groups.

			Because this is Freegle, I’ve implemented an off switch in ModTools in Settings->Community->Status, so you will be able to turn this off. But please don’t instantly turn this off before you’ve given it a chance.

			'''Why are we doing this?'''

			It makes more freegling happen. Some posts get enough people replying, but a lot - especially for bulky items - don’t. LoveJunk users are more used to dealing with bulky items.

			LoveJunk have also paid us to do this - an up front fee to cover the development, and will be paying a monthly fee which we will split with TrashNothing (since they are providing some of the original posts). So this helps keep Freegle going.

			This is also good strategically, because it positions Freegle as the central “hub” for reuse. Obviously not all reuse systems are interested in integration, but it’s good for us to be at the heart of this.

			'''Future'''

			In future we will do the other side of the integration, where free posts on LoveJunk come through to Freegle as OFFERs. They don’t have WANTEDs. The number of OFFERs is fairly low, which is why we’re doing it second, but that will be good to have too.
