[Rant] Frustrated about giveaways
Does anyone's else get messages from brand new users asking for ALL your giveaway listings? I just had someone message me for two of my reseved giveaways in 30:8 and 30:9 and an unreserved one in 36:4! No one person could possibly fit into all these sizes! And on top of that, they wanted me to charge JJ for international shipping! I love giving away bras to wonderful women who need them. And I have received giveaways myself, and they really helped me out. That's why I offer so many of my bras as giveaways. This just feels like a slap in the face. This is like the 20th time this has happened with my giveaways! If they're listed for more than 5 days, I get these messages! I completely understand new users wanting to try out a bra for free, but to ask for ALL of my giveaways in sizes that aren't even similar!? Just grrr!
Sorry for spelling, grammar, sentence structure and punctuation issues. I'm too frustrated to write well.

Wonder if they want to acquire them in order to resell? That would be my only guess. Would it be possible to put a disclaimer that you will only send giveaway listings to members with activity or x amount of reputation? I’m sure there has to be a way to make sure it’s more legit.
It is of utmost importance to acknowledge that when you put up a listing you are in absolutely no way required to give it to anybody that asks you.
It is not a promise to sell to whoever requests a bra. Even if it's a sale!
The goal would be that you choose to give the bra to the best new home it could have.
You are always encouraged to indicate brand new accounts that you do not want to give them your free bra because you don't know if the bra would work for them.
You could make it explicit in your listing description that you prefer users with certain minimum reputation or under personal evaluation, whatever your boob tells you is best.
Additionally, if you find a message suspicious, you can take two ways. One is to reply and try to ask more about this person. It could be a legitimate user in need that saw the opportunity and signed up just to try it. That's all great, you can do a bit of detective work in the PMs trying to help them.
Otherwise, don't hesitate to click the "Report as creep" option when your fur stands on end. 99.99% of the times those feelings have been correct from previous reports.
Ultimately, remember you can block them https://www.bratabase.com/profile/update/block/ although remember that this does not solve the bigger problem of someone annoying everybody. This is a selfish action that only solves it for you individually. Negative situations should be addressed for everybody and not one by one.
