Simple Rules
1. Don't violate the LiveJournal TOS.
2. ALL photos must be behind an LJ cut tag. Oohh look, a tutorial.
3. Please follow our advertising guidelines (below).
4. Hopefully we're all adults, lets behave as such
***Asking for samples?***
Many situations have occurred in this community in which cloth pad sellers have been ripped off by folks interested into taking samples and doing blog reviews on them.
Situations "Sample requesting", "Cloth Pad Solicitation", Vegan craft samples.
This will NO longer be tolerated. Your post will be deleted, and if you keep up asking, you will be banned.
Questions are welcome, but asking for freebies/samples is NOT.
Advertising Guidelines
1. Advertising posts should be limited to 1 advertising post per user per month.
2. Advertisers should also participate in the community (posting in discussion threads) rather than solely using this platform as advertising for their business.
3. All business advertising posts are to be tagged with "advertising" and your vendor name (if you have one, use "other" if you don't).
4. Selling of your personal stash items is to be tagged "stash sellout" instead of the above.
5. As the vendor tags are also used so that people can look back at discussions about that brand (not just for the advertising), we would appreciate that old sales/advertising posts that are no longer needed, be deleted to free up space in these vendor tags.
