Site Rules

GALLERY RULES

1. The gallery is considered an open gallery as you may use any products. There is no excuse for not participating in the challenges!

2. CT (creative team) layouts are welcome as long as they are part of forum challenges or discussions. Do not upload CT only layouts to the gallery if they are not a part of the forum challenges.

CT layouts hosted elsewhere outside of our gallery are welcomed to be shared here.

3. This is not a "product gallery." Do not upload kit previews for the purpose of advertising.

4. I encourage you to add links in the description to where we can purchase the kits. Hey, if I see something I like, even I want to be able to find it easily.

5. Please be sure to use the correct category. There are many categories for themes, as well as challenges. This will allow visitors to find inspiration by theme.

6. I reserve the right to delete any layouts of inactive members simply posting layouts for the purpose of advertising. I also will mass remove layouts older than a certain period of time to keep the database running smoothly (ie. 2 years).

7. Please be sure to give credit on all layouts! If you made it, be sure to say so! If you just don't know, please say so!

8. You have the ability to delete your own layouts from the gallery. Administration will not remove your layouts for you unless you are a banned member (which cannot remove their own layouts).

9. We respect the right to your privacy and encourage you to use "face bleep" circles over faces should you feel uncomfortable sharing online.

10. We ask that you only pin to Pinterest your own images or those you have asked permission to post. Hummie gives you permission to pin her images.

FORUM RULES

FOCUS
The focus of this site is on learning and inspiring each other, as well as to make new friends in the digital world. I just want you to get some layouts done! Links to other sites are allowed as I want to continue to support other sites. There are so many great resources out there; let's help each other find them.

ADVERTISING
NO blatant advertising in general posts around the forum. I will give you a cold prickly if you use it for advertising. Really!

We do offer a free area of the forum where you can advertise. Please use an available thread. Do not create a new thread.

Enabling is okay -- which is different than advertising. Enabling is when you find something awesome to share with others (without the intent of advertising yourself). There is an enabling (in search of) are of the forum where kits are shared by topic.

In addition, you may share in your signature line (see below).

SIGNATURE LINES
With regard to signature lines, feel free to write any text or links so that we may know more about you, but do not use blinkies. My tired old eyes cannot handle all that flashing.

Yes, you may link to your blog or store or whereever in your signature line. You may advertise a link to your newest kit, sale, or similar type of advertising, but it must be text only.

The smileys also work in the signature lines.

Signature lines are a great way to let us know about you.

REGISTERED MEMBER NOTES

If you do not wish to receive e-mails from administration through the forum, click on "settings," then "general settings" in the sidebar, and uncheck the box next to "Receive Email from Administrators."

Registered members have the ability to delete their own posts. Administration will not remove members upon request.

Administration occassionally prunes members with no posts or who have not logged in for a period of time. The reason for this is the new wave of spammers utilizing forums for self-"link love" in signature lines. We want to keep this site as safe as possible and do want to remove accounts which may contain unsafe links in signature lines.

Administration will ban members for unreasonable behavior. Administration will not remove all posts of banned members.
