Tatter Tales

elspethdawitch, kaystarkindler, and I have discussed a few things lately and decided to add some rudimentary Community Rules to our user info. Mostly, these are being put into place to head off any drama before it ever occurs (and let me just say again how happy I am that we've not run into any major drama here! Let's hope it never happens!)

First, a bit of explanation, or Why Did We Bother?

On to the:

Community Rules

1. Play nice. :) Follow the usual "courtesy" rules just like you would if we were all sitting together in somebody's living room.

2. We love tatting patterns and pictures of tatting, however: Please don't post copyrighted material. That means you can't post an entire pattern that you personally did not write (even if it's free, even if it's in an out-of-print magazine or book). It also means that you absolutely can post excerpts from patterns if you're looking for help!

2a. Please feel free to post links to patterns you've found online! Especially if you're posting a picture of something you've tatted and want to share your source!

2b. If your pattern is from a book or magazine, please post any info you have about the source: title, author &/or publisher (if you have those), link to a place where the rest of us can buy our own copies, etc.

3. Please place large images behind a cut. See FAQ #75 for instructions on how to place an lj-cut tag in your post.

4. Most importantly, have fun! :)


If you have any questions or concerns about anything in tatting, you may email the community maintainers: ljtatting AT gmail DOT com -- This address is checked daily by the owner/maintainers. Currently, we're all in rather similar time zones, so please be patient. Your messages will be answered as quickly as possible!

Thanks!

P.S.: If anybody has something they'd like to add, please mention it in a comment. I'm sure we probably missed something really obvious, and I'm relying on you members to point out my "duh!" moments. :)
