How It Works???

But how does one decide who gets the item? How do you know if they would be a good fit?

It basically started off with the idea that you give something to or do something for someone in need and that person then has to reciprocate to 3 other people and so on...creating a multiplier effect. In practice off course it is not that easy, for if you give something for someone in need the very circumstances of that person might not conducive to "paying it forward", although the forward act(s) could be any kindness/consideration shown or done and need not be done immediately.
I have been thinking of trying to create a simple system for this forum. Have struggled through the trillion rules of some other forums, mostly rules to avoid abuses. Came to the conclusion that a too formal system, where communication is in the open forum, will actually be counter the whole idea in the long run. The spirit behind the idea is more important for me and this community has shown an abundance of that - examples abound.
The secret of course, is to learn to really listen to your fellow forumites. That most neglected of all our senses.
Maybe the following can work:

Maybe the following can work:
- If you have something vape related to give away - PM the PIF administrator (volunteer?). Tell him/her what it is. Be prepared to pay for postage. Be prepared not to be acknowledged or thanked should the PIF administrator ask you to pass the item along to someone. Know that you have no further say over that item and what happens to it. You will be quite within your rights to ask the recipient not to disclose your identity should you so prefer.
- If you are in need of something vape related or you know of someone in such a need - PM the PIF administrator. Know that you are under no obligation whatsoever to tell anyone about the gift or say thank you for the gift. PIF should be totally unconditional. Be prepared not to identify the giver should he/she so prefer. Be prepared, however, to pay that kindness forward at some stage if you can.
Is there a PIF administrator as yet?
So, the PIF will only act as a middleman between the two parties?
Like getting the address etc.

Yes, just a middleman for that and to keep the confidences of the parties, if required. You interested? - would be much appreciated. Of course the system might develop other aspects as we go along and gain experience.
I will be the PIF, no problem! Everybody fine with me being the PIF?
You have been appointed PIF Boss, congrats and thanks.
Awesome and thanks to you!
