I'm disappointed in the gift I received, do I have to post it?

Yes, Posting the gift you received is a requirement here on GivinGifts.
While we understand that receiving a gift that doesn't really match our description and preferences is frustrating, public shaming of your gifter is not acceptable. 
 
Shaming includes: 
* Sarcasm 
* Aggressively negative comments 
* Statements like "this isn't what I asked for." 
* Providing a poor photo of the gift 
* Hiding a message in the photo for a gift 
 
We do have a way to complain about bad gifts, we don't want them on the platform either, but that complaining is done via the rating system presented when you mark a gift as received. 
We have a system implemented to mark bad gifters and weed them from the system. 
 
Publicly shaming is not part of that system, and does nothing but make another person feel bad. Your post will be deleted and you'll be asked to make a new thank you post. 
 
If you have nothing positive to say, please just say something generic like: "Thank you for the gift!" And provide a photo of your gift.
