Noob Box Pass III

[jagmanss]

I'm sorry guys i don't get it...

I need to rant for a minute here... What is the purpose of this Box pass? I thought it was for noobies to try out snus. I think i have somthing like 81 posts and would qualify for the next one possibly, I would have liked to get into this one, But I think this 150 post rule is Fundamentally wrong and Contradicts the name of the box pass. I have been a member of this forum for about a month now and if this box is only for those with a certain post count, then how are they called noobies. some including myself don't post all day, But I could or any other noob for that matter could just post in what do you have in your mouth every hour to get up their post count.This is not going to solve anything.

I think a certain amount of trust, Faith and integrity should be given to noobies and other members of this forum, If you don't trust noobies then what is the point of having this box pass or this forum for that matter and calling it Noob box pass. When this box 1st started didn't you have trust and faith that the next person would send it on and not keep it and do the right thing. I feel anybody could just keep the box at anytime and not pass it on, not just noobies cm'on guys how about A little faith and trust in your fellow man and new members. I think this sends the wrong message to new members of this forum that they can't be trusted.

I know some of you feel burned by what that dick did too Noob box pass II, but why let 1 bad apple spoil it for all. This could happen at anytime and am sure somone must of thought that it could. Hell what is stopping someone from taking 5 items or 20 out of the box and only adding 1 or none, like I said a certain amount of member trust and faith in that people will do the right thing is neede here. You mine as well change the name of the pass box... Sorry this is not right for noobies....

I belonged and still do to a cruise critic forum, It is for cruisers to get to know one another before they go on a ship and help with questions like what is a good cabin, what ports are like and what excursions are good to go on, how to save money, Many meet up on the ship. I have given money for group excursions to fellow members I only met on that forum days before as many others do, because that is how you save money to do things that the cruise line charges a fortune for. Many members just trust that that person organizing and taking $$$ from other members will do the right thing and their is trust and faith....

Sorry for the long rant but this is how I feel, I do not take offense to this post rule, i just think it sends the wrong message about the noob box and what this forum is about...

Again I will say just because 1 person did this it should not be changed, After all how long has this box been going before something like this happened

I've got a freezer full of snus myself, so I plan to throw in some cans of both branded snus and my own SnusX creations. I may toss in a tin or two of snuff as well, for those who want to sample some.

Anyway, the point is, you don't have to donate a lot. Even a few cans are welcome.

And if you want to contribute to this box pass but don't necessarily want to be in the rotation, PM Pipen to send a donation. Good way to clear out any extra snus you may have.

Donations accepted until Labor Day weekend.

So this box pass is reopened, and those who meet the qualifications Chad suggested should add a post in this thread asking to be added to the list. There are currently 3 slots filled (counting myself), so there are 7 openings.

Well, I agreed to be "route master" originally, and I meet the qualifications you mentioned, Chad. I see no reason for that to change.

As for those who asked to be in this box pass, and meet the 150 posts & regular posting frequency criteria, I see the following members: 1. c.nash, 2. StuKlu. If I've missed anyone who qualifies, please correct my oversight. Looks like we've got plenty of room for more qualified entrants.

If you want to contribute to this box pass before it gets started, PM me and I'll give you my mailing address. I'm not sure if a week is enough time to collect donations, though. How about this: I'll accept donations until Labor Day weekend, and I'll mail out the box the following week. If that works for everyone, we can get started.

Sounds good, let's do it.

And to those who didn't meet the qualifications, it's nothing personal, but we don't want to see this box die.

Original post is edited to include criteria and name selection.

One idea I had was to start one person as the route master. Anyone who wants to contribute snus to the noob box can send it to the route master, who will collect snus for a week. At the end of the week the box will be full and begin it's journey along it's way to those who are new to snus to try it out. This way if you're wanting to dump some stuff you can put it into this box and get it going. Then it can circulate to those who are new, and it will in turn be full enough that the newbies won't have to put much new into it.

That being said, I think a minimum of 150 posts would be a good starting point, and a regular posting frequency. Entrants will be evaluated by route master to ensure the box won't be lost.

Route master should be a forum regular with 500+ posts.

I'll help too if you guys need it. I think the concept is fantastic.

[chadizzy1]

The participants need to be somewhat known on the board like Chad said. It is sad that some people are straight out thieves.

Yeah, I'm totally willing to do this, I've got a bunch of stuff (as always) I can contribute, but I want to make sure it doesn't get lost again/stolen.

Especially with PACT, I think box passes are still a good thing.

[ChaoticGemini]

Is there someone we can send snus to in order to get another box started? I'd throw in a few cans.

This box pass was supposed to start when Noob Box Pass II ended, using what was left over to start the new one. Unfortunately, one of the participants from NBP II has apparently decided to keep the box for himself.

What A shame someone would do this as I also wanted to get in on this, But even if it starts up again i see box pass III is full and would like to be in on the next one

Figures, next couple of days im going to grab a bronze membership , would be willing to throw a few cans in toward starting a new box.

What is the status with this?
