I am a DAP member. When I am doing business (i.e. anon is off), it's not uncommon to have 5-6 people in the queue. Often it can get real busy and hectic trying to coordinate it, while trying to minimize people's waiting times. I try to go first-tell, first-port, but sometimes it makes more sense to go out of order (i.e. if a guy wants SRo to WC, and another guy wants WC to Iceclad, it makes sense to do the SRo to WC to IceClad route, even if that isn't the order the tells were received). It's not uncommon for someone to say "X needs SRo to WC" in guildchat, and then someone takes it. When I an overwhelmed, I will put up anonymous again while I get my queue down, but sometimes I forget. I also do my best to keep people updated on how long it'll be, but again, sometimes things come up or it makes sense to change it.
Then, in the middle of porting that queue of 5-6 people, you get a tell asking for a CR port (which is free) or an evac across SG (takes up considerable time and mana). We try to keep your waiting time to a minimum, but it can get difficult when you are getting a lot of tells quickly. Also, cussing me out because I am not bound at OT ramp or won't run across DL with you to ejac you (when I have 5 people waiting on ports) doesn't help.
Also, I port anyone. I don't blacklist people because if I am port whoring for cash, I like getting business.
