FAQ: All swaps require you to have completed two already?

[PrettyR4veGirl]

I just completed my first swap with positive feedback, I was hoping to join another swap once I received the positive, but all these swaps are requiring you to have two completed swaps before joining these. I'm just a little upset about this.... 0

I'm a bit confused by this as there shouldn't be a '2 completed swap' rule for joining swaps.

I would ask the organiser of the swaps you are interested in and double check this.

also - check this from the swap FAQ's:  http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=229624.msg3712335#msg3712335

Please make sure that you are reading the participant requirements and not the organizer requirements.  As far as I am aware there are very few swaps that require previously completed swaps.

I get frustrated sometimes as i want to take part in another swap since The Avengers but I've only done one and all the swaps that are coming up are at least 'took part in 2 swaps'. 

Will there be anymore for new/or 1 swap people?

You are reading the organizer's requirements.  The organizer must have two completed swaps before they can organize a swap.  The requiremenst for being a participant are usually listed under the organizer's requirements.  The majority of swaps allow new swappers or those with limited swap history.

I would really like to join a swap, but it seems that every one of them requires that you have particpated in a swap before. Help!? I want to share my craftynes!

New to Craftster and was wondering about the swaps.  It seems most that I've looked at require previous swaps.  So what's a newbie to do?

Well, update I figured out the system...I thought I had to participate in 2 swaps...I read into the information incorrectly. I joined the pincushion swap my fellow newbies.
