Dear Member
Hi there
 
We are sorry to have to return your post but our group has a limit on the number of wanted items per month/week that can be requested.
 
The limit is [X] posts per month/week each containing not more than [X] requests for items.
 
As you have already reached this number I have returned your message.  You may of course resubmit your request again on the [DATE]
 
Our group has agreed this limit in order to balance out the offers and requests and to prevent members leaving because they feel they are being taken advantage of.
 
Kind regards

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.


Hi there
Hope that's OK, and good luck!

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.
