The reason that we came up with this rule years ago is because we had various stories from people about why they didn’t get it done, and the rule takes away judging who has a sad enough story and whose story is not worthy or not true. It made it very easy for us, and it really improved how many people completed each project! If your project doesn’t come in time, then you’re out for six months. Possibly a solution would be to change the rule to three months if it feels too harsh but I think we need an objective rule. If you don’t turn it in you don’t turn it in and you’re on the list!

This is true, it does make it easier for all of us when we don't have to decide who has a more worthy excuse.
For my part, I am in favor of the rule. I think 4 months would be adequate, but if everyone wants to stick with 6 I am fine with that. As nycfem said, we have had much better follow-through from people who sign up since we started the rule (myself included). I don't like getting back projects that I made for someone else. I do remember at least one time when we sent somebody on the on-hold list their projects anyway, as a kindness, for what that is worth.
I'm not wanting to stir up any trouble here, just throwing in my .02. We have a great group, I love working on projects with you all and seeing your efforts. Let's all agree on something, even if that means rewriting the rule, and keep the good crafty vibes going.
