Hi All, sorry I didn't chime in on this. The staff have discussed this and I totally support their decision (we've got AMAZINGLY good staff here!).
Bottom Line:
Yes, right now we're fine with the MEMBERS running a swap (egg swap, secret swap, whatever).
There MUST be a disclaimer at the top of the very first post that says:
"This swap is not endorsed by BYC (owner, website, staff, etc.). The BYC Staff is not responsible and will not mediate if something goes "wrong" or a deal goes "bad". If you choose to participate in a swap, it is best to know who you are swapping with and not to swap more than you can afford to lose.
The BYC Staff is sensitive because of past swaps. We want our members to feel comfortable having fun with these and other social interactions, but please keep in mind that there were issues with some organizers and swappers bailing in the past.
Like any other interaction: Have fun, but be careful and safe!"
