Do you think that once a gifter has established him- or herself as someone who understands the gifting mechanism that they will continue to be asked if they understand said mechanism? It certainly doesn't seem that way to me, so I doubt they'd be discouraged from posting future giveaways.

As for first-time gifters, my stance remains unchanged. I find it reassuring that an admin is proactive enough to ask the poster these simple, straightforward questions. Clearly you don't agree. You seem keen to find offense where I don't believe any is justified, but whatever. If that's your thing, go for it. Go all out.

If a new user--who joined mere days ago, has never gifted, has few or no entries and a similar number of comments--finds the same offense and great injustice in such a simple question, then they are free to not participate. If I were so easily offended I might do the same. Luckily, such things don't bother me. If I'm an unknown and doing something for the first time, I don't get all upset if someone asks me if I understand what I'm doing.

I simply answer and carry on.
