Swap-botters opinion requested

So I can no longer locate the specific rules for the various "points" (if you have it, a link would be nice!).

I got a package a little while back where

1) Yes, there was a little bit extra in it -- but really poor quality notecards. The ink smeared over everything so they were unusable.

2)  Mailed/postmarked a day or so AFTER the mail-by date (not a big deal in itself). 
The date on the site said it was mailed three days before the deadline.

and 3)  Postage due.

So I rated a 5, no heart.

And got a pouty reply that the late and the postage-due shouldn't have caused a markdown, she should have gotten a HEART b/c she sent an extra notecard.

Now, the rules I remember -- and correct me if I'm wrong -- late mailing is a 3.

And hearts are totally optional and at the discretion of the rater.

Am I being just too mean?  Should I go back and add a heart just because she pouted?


I'm just wondering why I get stuff sent to me "postage due" (3x recently) -- when I get packages / letters sent BACK to me if I don't put enough on them (twice that I recall -- may have been more).

That's about what I thought they were -- and sending date is a swap requirement, so...I could have marked her a 3 and still been fair. *shrug* Well, it's not like she's stalking me on the forums or anything!

I've signed up for two more easy swaps -- not "make 17 of this, all different!" -- just to keep in with it. One is 3 pens the other is soap -- each to just one person. SO much easier than multiple items to multiple people, though those are fun WHEN I have time.

Hopefully I'll be busy enough to not have much time for this after graduation!

It's going. It's hard/challenging, and I'mnot doing as well as I had expected, but I'm getting there -- I am NOT at ALL used to getting a "C" in ANYthing! I was so mad at myself!

We're still on the Muscle System, and it's complicated -- there's a lot to memorize (which, I'm sure, I'll forget 15 seconds after turning in my boards!), but I passed Swedish and we're all on geriatric, prenatal, and infant massage right now in the practical part of the class.

So how's YOU?

I thought we already knew about the Fibro? Or is this just "professional" confirmation?
