We have been pondering this for a while. We welcome the idea of having junior members on the site and we are taking action in proventing them from being preyed upon. Though we wonder if hosting a swap themselves after completing 5 swaps hosted by a mod. would be to much to ask of them.
So we ask you the community to take this small poll to help us decide the fate of your junior swaps. Would other members like to host the junior swaps? Or would you feel it should fall to mods and committee members.
I think the mods or committee members should host only because 12 to 18 yr old are so involved in there personal lives and friends (which they should be). Maybe after a set time maybe 6 mo. and if there are a few kids that are always posting, joining junior swaps and always have cards in on time could be asked to post swaps in the junior area.

I think that the Mods/committee ought to handle a junior swap, or at the very least, chaperone it to make sure nothing goes awry- I know when I was 14 15 or 17 or even 18, I owuld nto ahve been able to ahndle hosting a swap- meeting deadlines, mailouts, etc, and I was a pretty pragmatic kid, so.... just my opinion.
