Message Content

Messages should be friendly.

Messages should be legal and decent.

Do not use the forum for the main purpose of getting free publicity for your own or another web site or business.

Do not post bargain hunting messages.

Please restrict link posting to the "members only" sections

The members’ only sections are all those that come below the "Members Only Sections" division on the forum index page.

In general, links should only be posted if they are appropriate to your message and the section they are posted in.

Please do not promote your own web site or commercial web sites. The exceptions to this are as follows:

The PictureTrail section
You may link to your card PictureTrail (or similar card gallery) here. If your web site sells anything other than your own hand made cards then do not link to it.

The Where Can I Find? section
You can ask for an external link to a hard to find item or product here. Another member can then post a link to a web site or shop offering that item.

Respect copyright

If you post templates or similar projects they should be your own work. Do not post anything that you do not own the copyright to.

Copyright in the useful craft links section:

We post all craft links in one section so that they are easier to find in the future. These should be links that give helpful information on techniques, etc. Only post links to sites that are very obviously in the public domain. Links should not lead to other people's personal web sites or galleries unless they give their express permission. The onus will be on the person who posts the link to show that the link would meet with the web site owner's approval. Any sites listed that contain images intended for downloading should contain clear information that such images are reproduced with the permission of the copyright holders. Sites listed should not be selling any craft goods.

Use a private message whenever appropriate

Please help us keep the forum free from one-to-one messages by sending the following communications in a private message ( P M ).

Use a P M for anything to do with MPE.
Any questions about the MPE Scheme (Mystery Paraphernalia Envelope) should be direct to the scheme organiser by private email at Colleen MacLeod - malcolmcolleen@optusnet.com.au. See the Craft Frequently Asked Questions (Craft FAQ) for more MPE information.

Use a P M to send Birthday greetings
Please do not post birthday greetings in the open forum.

Use a P M for personal one-to-one messages
If it is a message for one person concerning a private arrangement between the two of you please use a private message.
