Token refill statement

Hi!

I don't know if someone else already post it to the blog, but it would be quite useful if everybody could write a statement to their profile when will they have token refill.

Ex. "I will have tokens on 06-JUL!"

This way people will not have to bother sending...
Or is there a way for developers to put this info automatically.

It's write on my profile. But Apparently somebody couldn't read this information.

A lot of people do but it tends to get ignored or overlooked. I often get

"Oooops sorry, just saw that you're out of tokens"

You also have to take into account that many members don't want people to know when their refill is due. In the week leading up to it, they get snowed under with deliveries.

What would be useful is a warning that comes up when you try to send. Something like

"This person has no tokens to accept this delivery, would you like to send anyway YES/NO"

I think that it is part of the game not to now if a person has tokens or when his refill is...

Exactly, I don't want to disclose this info, because I don't want do receive more unsolicited sets than usual. :P

Even when I stated on my avatar that I had no tokens, people continued to send. And now that my profile says I accept only bronze, people send me Gold because I could like it. (But I love the ones who ask before sending :D )

On a similar subject, Iconmaster explained why the tokens are hidden by design.

I don't want people to know when my tokens are due. Even if I put 0 Tokens on my avatar and 0 Tokens on my profile, people still send me unsolicited (junk) sends. I think it would be awful if they knew when my tokens came in.
Really now I just whisper to a friend when I want to buy an iconset. I never do it on the blogs.

Yes, those annoy me who post on the blogs about how they have stamps or something similar... Anyway, I see that it is probably the best if tokens are hidden ;)
