I pledge to other swap-bot members to:

Rate for every swap I take part in. Rate as soon as i am able to get on-line after swap is received. Rate Fairly, I will only give a 1 rating if a swap hasn't been received and that no contact has been made from the sender. I promise to pm member first to give them the chance to resolve the situation first. I will only give a 3 if i feel that the swap didn't meet the requirements and that the partner chooses not to correct the swap. I will try and leave a message on all ratings to state what i received and what I was happy with, even if its just a thank you. I will not use slander or badmouth anyone when given a rating, facts is all that is needed when rating a 1. If I've done a swap with you, I've sent you the very best I could send and then some. I expect the same from my swapping partners. I would never send you junk, I expect you to hold up to your end of the deal. I always will mark if I've sent a swap as soon as I send it. If I've marked it sent and you haven't gotten it, PLEASE let me know so I can either give you the Delivery Confirmation Number, or can resend the swap if it was something as small as a letter that wouldn't have gotten Delivery Confirmation or a Customs ID number added to it. If for some reason you got the swap and wasn't happy with it PLEASE let me know so I can fix whatever the problem is. This should never happen as I will ALWAYS check your profile and try and send something especially FOR YOU, but my interpretation of your likes and dislikes could be different than you intended them on your page. I'm all about making my swap partner happy so don't ever go away mad!
