In the poll we also included a question about banning Puvithel. She did not participate last year, nor do any of us know her, but thank you for the kek >>10682479
Many people who said no to banning Puvithel expressed that they feel the new indie brand rules would adequately cover any potential bad gifts.
Some responses include:
>I believe some changes should be made when people gift stuff from their own brand. The items gifted should be valued at manufacturing cost, not retail cost.
>Perhaps further group discussion is needed about indie designers participating and gifting items not related at all to their brand. They should be shopping from scratch like the rest of us and not running to the pile of unsold merchandise they are sitting on to give as a main gift.
>There isn't much "thought" to be put into a gift if it's all from a single certain free catalogue essentially.

This was a very unfortunate mistake which happened basically because different organizers did the matching every year, and in some instances the previous year's matches did not get passed along to the new team. Generally there is a different organizational team every year, with different ways of matching and selecting people. One year the group tried to create an automated tag system, but this year will be sorted to a similar manner as last year.

Anyways, with that all said, popular votes dictates she will no longer be participating.
