Rules and Infraction System
No donation, fundraising, or solicitation requests for money or votes even if it is not for you (except if approved first). If I deem it soliciting, it will be deleted. Please note that the AGLF and Beads of Courage are exempt from this.
No self promotion other than in self promotion area (this includes the look at my etsy shop and tell me what you think threads). Just because you are not asking people to buy things, asking them to look at your shop, proofread your shop, give you advice, and so forth are still self promotion and will be deleted. No posting private messages. Deal with issues with individuals in private. This means emails or Private Messages. Solve your problems with people in private instead of creating drama. This also includes bringing drama over from Facebook or other sites. Images in signatures may not be over 80 pixels tall. Repeat offenders will receive points for offenses. Use common sense. Remember that there are people on the other side of the screen. Treat them with respect. No politics except in the Woodshed. Even if you do not deem it political when you post it, if you know it is going to go in that direction, then do not pot it. Adding the phrase “please keep politics out of this” does not help, all that shows is that you knew in the first place that it was going to be an issue. If a thread is deleted, do not start another thread about the deleted thread. This is rude to others people on the site as well as to the moderators. No bumping posts in Garage Sale or Self Promotions. Treat people with respect. No attacking people or trying to instigate them into a fight. I understand that this is subjective and I have a few moderators in place to help me with my decisions. You may not always agree with the decisions, but please respect them and realize that we have to make choices every day and try to interpret written words. We may not be perfect, but we try our best. Respect the moderators and our decisions. If you have an issue with something we have decided, then take it up with us privately. We deal with most behavior issues in private, so you may not see consequences for actions, but often there are consequences that you are not seeing. Infraction System: You will receive points for different infractions. The infraction points fall off of your profile after a set length of time. You may not accumulate more than 10 points at a time before there are consequences. 10 points = 1 month ban 10 more points after you have had a 1 month ban = 6 month ban 10 more points after the 6 month ban = permanent ban Infractions and points: Self promotion in wrong area - 1 point (stays on profile for 10 days) Rude or insulting behavior - 2 points (stays on profile for 90 days) Insulting/attacking other members - 2 points (stays on profile for 90 days) Politics - 2 points (stays on profile for 90 days) Signature line violations - 1 point (stays on profile for 10 days) Bumping posts in Garage Sale or Self Promotions - 1 point (stays on profile for 10 days) Garage Sale issue (not sending items, etc) - 5 points (stays on profile for 90 days) You can view your points in your profile. You will also receive a PM regarding any infractions. Full Site Moderators: Demcc2 AKDesigns Bgillian |
Sounds fair
|
So where does it show up if you get one?
|
Amy is a full site mod? Can she give herself infraction points? Everything is her fault, afterall.

Thanks CorriDawn for making LE such a great place for us to share our glass passions.
A quick clarification, if someone shows a bead in the Gallery and says the bead is listed on Etsy or Ebay, is that prohibited as self promotion? Thanks! Liz |
Can people who are over zealous or try to over use infraction system be given a infraction when they abuse the system?
Never quite felt this type of system was necessary! Dale |
Hope it all works out for the better. Not sure the mods will be able to remain unbiased. JMHO

Infractions show up in your profile. There is a section that is entitled infractions.
If you feel that you have been given one unfairly, please let me know and I will look and see if I feel it was justified as well. Thhey do fall off of your profile after the allotted time, so even if you do receive one, it is not all bad. This is supposed to stop repeat offenders. |
As far as saying in Show and Tell that they are on etsy or ebay, you can have that in your signature line. You may put it is for sale on etsy or ebay, however if you are starting a new thread in the gallery to show beads you have up, then that is self promotion.
Does that make sense? |

I wish this wasn't necessary. I hope it makes life easier for you Corri. Thanks!

Ooooh. Glass Passions. That sounds like a soap opera series.

Can you clarify how Self Promotion works in the Tutorials area, please?

I have seen numerous times, esp in The Potty, where someone shares a story about a seriously ill pet or other personal tragedy, just wanting to vent and get emotional support. Next thing you know, folks are buying up items from their Etsy shop or sending them funds directly to PayPal to help with the financial burden. It was not something directly solicited by the OP. Rather just an organic outpouring of care and support by some of the amazing peeps on this forum. Is that type of thing going to be pulled and deemed an Infraction going forward? (Hoping not!) |

Good lord, how is this going to be interpreted ??? One person's tiny joke is another person's "snarkiness"... Oh well, it's been fun. :waving: |
Sounds very fair, but I have a question
If I am having an issue or problem with a bead can I still ask for advise?
Thanks Sue and Bootsie |

Hope that helps Duane |
There should not be self promotion in the tutorials area. If you have a tutorial for sale, you may post it int here, but it is not the place to push the tutorial or to have sales etc. The tutorials section is a reference section.
As far as written words being misinterpreted, I understand that as do my moderators. We are just going to do our best. I realize it is subjective, which is why there is more than just one moderator. Things really are not changing, these have been the rules all along, they were just never written down. The only thing this is doing, is causing there to be consequences for chronic rule breakers. |
Any chance you can include something about people that sign up for exchanges , receive beads but don't send anything out ever?
|
Thank you Corri, I am looking forward to a better experience on le for all of us.
and thank you to the moderators, I know it's a bitch job to do. namaste Rowyn |
LOL- I can see it now-an increase in those self promotion threads disguised as "oh, this awful esty buyer!"

If the exchange "violators" are HABITUAL offenders, yes, that can definitely be considered. Sometimes life gets in the way of these things and unfortunately glassy things get put on the back-burner.
Thanks for pointing this out! Duane |
Please define habitual - once, twice, three times???? Please be specific. Why? Because if you aren't specific about all of these rules and if you don't adhere to your own rules and enforce them for EVERYONE, EVERY TIME, there will be the perception of favoritism and the feeling that it is easy to get around the rules.
