What happens when someone doesn send a swap?
They will get a poor rating, and more than likely, they will be banned from participating in future swaps. Swap coordinators can see who everyone is sending to and receiving from in their swaps. If they receive complaints from participants about not ever getting a package, they can easily find out who dropped the ball. Many swap coordinators have a rating requirement for their swaps (such as higher than a 4.5 rating). It is the swap coordinator’s responsibility to ban the offenders from their future swaps. Swap-bot also has an automatic account suspension system. If a swapper receives three, or more, “1” ratings within the past six months, their account is automatically partially suspended by the Swap-bot computer. They are dropped from all swaps in which partners are not yet assigned and they are not able to sign up for new swaps until they get their low ratings rectified.
