RULES
NO ADVERTISING: Absolutely
NO selling, advertising, promoting or plugging your own or any other companies!
The list owner & sponsor reserve all
advertising rights on this list. If you break this rule, you will
be given only 1 warning & be put on moderated status permanently.
If you break it a second time you will be removed from the list without
notice.
CANDLEMAKERS:
You may discuss your candlemaking businesses here as long as you do not
sell supplies of any kind. But please don't use the list to sell
your candles. You are welcome to post your link in our Bookmarks
section of the Yahoogroup site.
OTHER LISTS: Promotion of other email lists/forums is not allowed. NO CO-OPS or CLASSIFIEDS: Because of the risks involved and problems with bad co-ops in the past, this list does not allow co-ops. Also do not post used supplies you want to sell on the list, instead you are welcome to post them on our Classified section or on our Candle & Soap Auction site! POSTING LINKS: If you are looking for supplies, we encourage you to visit our sponsor at www.candlesupply.com. Otherwise please use a search engine to find other supplier sites (we prefer you do not ask for other supply company links on our list). If you wish to share a supply link with another member, please email it to them privately... not on the list! If you need instruction or info links on candlemaking, please refer to The Candle Cauldron, and if you can't find the info you need there, we have several other good candlemaking websites listed on our links page there. E-MAIL SIGNATURE FILES: All signature files used must be no more than 3 lines long! This helps keep the size of the digest version manageable. Using your company name & url (website addy) in your signature on posts is allowed for people who sell only finished candle products. Suppliers may not put their company info or address on posts! This applies to anyone that is selling any type of supplies used in the making of candles to other candlemakers, including embeds, packaging items, etc. FLAMING: There is a zero tolerance policy on "flaming" (slamming or bashing). Offending posters will be immediately removed from the list, period. This also applies to flaming responses to flamers posts. Please do not use the list for trouble-making, it's for candle-making :) This includes posting negative comments about companies, if you have a complaint take it up with that company, this is not the place to lodge it! SWEARING: This list has a PG rating. Foul or distasteful language is not appreciated. If you're in doubt, please use your good judgment and don't say it. OFF TOPIC POSTS: Occasional off topic posts are not a problem, but please try to keep the majority of posts on the subject of candles and avoid using the list for excessive chit-chat or one line replies. We're a friendly group, but many of us have time limits such as full time jobs, and it's hard to keep up with high volumes of e-mails, so please make list mails as on topic and useful to all members as possible for everyone's benefit :) When you do post anything off topic, please put "OT" in the subject line! The list is also not a place for political or religious debates, gossip, rumors, etc. The following off-topic types
of posts are inappropriate:
FORWARDING POSTS: Please do not "cross post" on this list (that is when you post to several different lists all in the same email). Also do not forward copies of posts from this list to any other lists! If you do not agree to any of the rules of this list, your only option would be to unsubscribe. The list rules are not optional, bendable or arguable. |
Welcome once again, and happy candlemaking!
