Dear Member
Hi there


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.  
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?


The limit is ? posts per month each containing not more than ? requests for items.  
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.


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 ??
Hope that's OK, and good luck!


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.
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.
