Freecycle rejected me?

[TwinsItIs]

I got an email from the freecycle in my area that I've been rejected and that this is final, no negotiations. What do they base their criteria on? This is odd, to say the least.

I have never heard of this, sounds crazy to me!

Super weird, I've never heard of that either. Maybe they somehow thought you were a business, or somebody else who used to be on the local group and got kicked off for something?

I'd email them back and ask why, since that sounds super odd to me.

I'd email back and ask for a reason. So bizarre!

How odd!

What's the procedure for joining Freecycle in your area?

[MomtoNico]

Are you too far away from the area you are trying to sign up for? thats the only reason I can think of.

I applied to our local group a couple of years ago and no one ever got back to me to "accept" me. i thought that was weird too. maybe its a power trip thing??

This is the same thing that happened to me, and I figured that the people were in charge of it were just weird. I didn't answer their questions in any weird way. I figured it was just a power thing too.

That's really rude.

Here's the response I got:

Hello,

The moderator of each Yahoo! group chooses whether to restrict

membership also choose whom to admit.

Please note that this decision is final and that Yahoo! Groups
