Welcome! Help us grow, invite friends!

"The Anti-Rulez" (disguised as common sense LOL):

What Not To Post: Just use common sense

Chit-Chat/OT: Welcome!
ADS: Fridays
AD in subject line: Optional
Prices: Optional
Time Zones: Posters/Members, don't *sweat* a few hours please
Group Invitations: Yes

Agents/3rd Party Posting: Yes, but cleared thru me (client MUST accept group related notifications to their personal addy)

Note: If the rules are good enough for members, they're good enough for me (I only advertise here on Fridays). I do clean up old ads though =0)

Delivery Settings:
Members~> Minimum/Special Notices
Vendors & Agents~> Digest/Individual Messages required w/your primary ID (other ID's you own: Special Notices)

*Public Flogging*: Flaming/slander/defamation of character aren't allowed. I reserve the right to break out "Da Whippin Noodle" ~ Don't make me get it out! LOL!

Copyright Issues: NO public claims of design piracy! I care (very much) but there are better ways to handle such things.

Educate *yourselves* RE~> Piracy: "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is" ~ Verify the source via RELIABLE means (note~> another vendor isn't necessarily *reliable means*).

NO~> Strong-Arming/Black-Balling <~Just don't do it! We'd all be lawyers making over $200 per hour if it were that easy. If you must make a stand, find a better way. Fight hate with love please & act responsibly. If you must write me about concerns, be prepared to back it up with proof as opposed to gossip

Avoiding petty behavior seen elsewhere is a choice, so we don't complain about: Repeat questions, recipes, ads, signature lines (unless inappropriate) ETC ~ The delete button's available, use it! Avoid petty complaints (which hit like a bad rash, starting as one tiny red spot & pretty soon every group is all *itchy & scratchy*).

Chill out, relax, embroider!

Want affordable, quality designs w/variety? Solution: Support legitimate independents! They work hard for themselves & you
