->Preparation
+Hey, if you're reading this you're interested in signing up for /ss/ this year. This pastebin will contain further details on how I plan on doing things this year.
-In the new thread I plan on announcing that the santas from the last 2 years email me asap. I have the email addresses they used previous years saved. I want to see if they have a blacklist of confirmed grinches. I know the past two santas said they would make a record of them. I know it's more likely they won't see this thread and won't respond but I'm going to make an effort regardless.

 >Grinches
->Sign up
+
-It's going to be a traditional /ss/. However, instead of sending the information via email, we are going to use a google form similar to Gunpla's /ss/. It's far more organized and easier to fill out. It has always worked out very well for them year after year. You won't be able to send a form that isn't complete which is helpful for the more scattered brained anons.
+
-The form will include the following:
+>Get the previous blacklist addresses (if I can)
 >Check for proof of address
->your email address
+>Ensure people are staying in contact with each other
->full name you will use on your package (it doesn't have to be your real name)
+>If you feel your assignment is ignoring you or hasn't updated in a reasonable amount of time, feel free to email me and I'll look into it
->full address (PO Boxes will NOT be accepted)
+
->proof of address in the form of an image uploaded to the form (I'll explain how this works below)
+
->are you from the US or international?
+
->would you like to ship within your country? yes or no? (please note, if there is no one to pair you up with from your country and you selected this option you will be notified before assignments go out)
+In the event that a grinch gets through I will be contacting anyone who signed up to be a back up Santa on the form.
->Your wish list
+
->other notes (use this section for anything you'd want to ask your assignment, your santa, or anything you want me to be aware of along with your information)
+
->would you consider signing up as a replacement santa in case someone gets grinched? yes or no?
+>It must be after December 25th and no gift has arrived
 >Email me with proof that your Santa never contacted you regularly and that no gift has arrived
 
->proof of address
+And if that Santa has done the following:
-Not asking for ID or anything complicated. It can be a photo of your mailbox (with your address on it) or a piece of mail with sensitive information blurred out. Take a picture of the envelope your insurance bill came in. Take a picture of your address on the letter. PLEASE MAKE SURE SENSITIVE INFORMATION IS BLOCKED OUT. I need proof of address, nothing else. This image will be uploaded to a private google drive only I can see. I'll go through all the images and make sure everything is ok. Once /ss/ is over, I'm deleting the drive. So no images will be saved come mid January.
+
 >Sent no proof of purchase or shipping number
->the wish list
+>Ignored or avoided contact after several attempts
-I know some people wanted brackets but here is the thing. Not many people enter /ss/. At most, it's 50, usually much less. The poll had about 75 voters in it and I expect there to be much less participation than that. Then you have to consider how people get matched up according to their region. Imo, shipping preference is much more important than categorized budget brackets.
+>Has not posted in the thread as far as I can tell, made no attempt to explain themselves in the thread, or attempts to give me a bullshit excuse
 
-My proposed budget is 25-35 bucks for the toy itself. You can list 5 different toys in this price range.
+That anon will be added to my own blacklist that I will send, no matter what, to next year's Santa.
 
-It's more than fine to pick out one item and send it and I encourage everyone to do so. The point isn't to break the bank here folks. Add extras. Include a card and make it personal. That's what it's all about.
+IT WILL NOT BE PUBLIC. 4CHAN IS NOT YOUR PERSONAL ARMY.
-Yes, you can be more vague if you want to and list preferences instead of the toy itself if you want to be surprised. But make sure there are toys within your preference that fall into this price range. I will do a quick amazon search to check myself and if it looks too pricey I will be contacting you to revise your list. Don't be a dick.
+
-Also if you do it this way be detailed enough that someone who isn't as savvy in your interest can find a toy you want without feeling uncomfortable. If someone emails me and saying "I don't understand what this anon wants" I will be contacting you for clarification.
+I will contact the new Santa myself, privately via email the following year, and send the list of grinch addresses from the previous year. I will hold onto these addresses for reference if any future Santa needs them.
