Dear Member
This is a sample message you could use to send to a member of your community. Please also see [[Best Practice Notes#'Wanted' posts are a good thing]] and try to avoid returning any wanted or request posts unless you're totally overwhelmed.


We are sorry to have to refuse you post but *** freegle  has a limit on the number of wanted items per month that can be requested.
Hi there


The limit is ? posts per month each containing not more than ? requests for items.
I'm sorry to return your message, but we have a rule of X wanted messages per X.
Please could you wait until X days have passed since your last request before posting this again?


As you have already reached this number I have deleted/put your post on hold.  You may resubmit your request again on the   ???/ We will  submit your post on ??
Our experience is that you're more likely to get a good response to your requests if there aren't a lot all at once, so hopefully you'll be able to find what you want over an extended period.


We have imposed this limit in order to balance out the offers and wanteds and to prevent members leaving because they feel they are being taken advantage of.
Hope that's OK, and good luck!


Regards
Best wishes

Hi there

I'm sorry to return your message, but we have a rule of X wanted messages per X. Please could you wait until X days have passed since your last request before posting this again?

Our experience is that you're more likely to get a good response to your requests if there aren't a lot all at once, so hopefully you'll be able to find what you want over an extended period.

Hope that's OK, and good luck!
