[RIPE Atlas Ambassadors] How to get people to actually plug in their probes?

Same problem here.

I've even made my own formal "contract" (attached if someone else want to use it) to ensure that if they don't plug it, they return to me, and pay the shipping expenses ... but the people really don't care.

I think we need to be stricter about choosing who hand over a probe.

Regards,
Jordi

    I guess it's all the same problem around the world. Same here in Indonesia.
    
    For me, everytime I handed over a probe, usually I ask them to fill
    google form. just basic contacts and name.
    Some are still offline after 2 year handoff. Try contact them, no response.
    Some are they already switch jobs.
    
    Sometimes if I beg them to send it back to me if they not gonna plug
    it in, so I can distribute it elsewhere, they just ignore.
