Promise Button

The promise button is available for members posting offers. Basically it works:

• The message is greyed out onsite - people can still reply but they're warned they might not get it. This is because some people promise things too soon, and then if they have a no show or change their minds they need to be able to get the other replies.
• The other person is told - which "nudges" both people to realise they've entered into a commitment.
• We don't auto-repost, we don't send "what happened about this mails".
• It shows who you've promised to on My Posts, which makes it easier to keep track.

• People replying by email won't know if an item promised, so there may always be some replies.
• People who have replied don't get notified when something is promised, but they do if it's taken (by someone else).

If a member promises an item to someone who fails to collect, they have to unpromise to offer to someone else. When unpromising is selected it shows as a no show on their profile.
