Each SWAP/EXCHANGE will have rules of its own (RULES BY THE PERSON STARTING THE SWAP)
Rules for Swap Coordinators/Hosts
1. Swaps / Exchanges may be organized and managed by individual members of the board.
2. Please get permission from Carla (ADMIN) before posting a suggestion for an activity or before posting, so we can keep track of what's going on in case we get questions...
3. The member who starts an activity will be held RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for ALL its management and success. The Owner(s), Administrator(s) and Moderator(s) of the Board cannot and will not be held liable in any way for any problems that may arise.
4. Activities must be open and welcoming to members of ALL skill and income levels. ALL the activity rules must NOT include such requirments as fabrics or other supplies that come only from high-end sources. ALL Patterns required or suggested should be ACCOMMODATED for all skill levels. If they must be complex, make sure to include or provide links to appropriate tutorials.
5. When an activity includes swapping fabrics, they should be washed, dried and ironed and cut as precisely as your skills allow. Oranizers should not require they be starched or otherwise treated unless it's essential to success in the type of project involved. Those of us who don't normally prewash should make exceptions when joining in group activities. It's a courtesy to others who may have allergies or other health needs requiring smoke and animal free environments/supplies.
6. PLEASE remember to clearly state the sign-up deadline in both the swap's topic title, and in the body of the announcement post...
KEEP IN MIND
1. Please send things you'd be happy to receive yourself.
2. ACCEPT what you receive.
3. If, for some reason, you don't feel you can use something you receive in a swap, please keep it to yourself. If you receive fewer items than you were supposed to receive, please notify the activity organizer by pm. NO public posts complaining about fabric or construction, whether or not it was pre-washed, over-exposed to smoke or pets, off-size, etc. (THIS WOULD BE RUDE SO ALL COMMENTS KEEP TO SELF OR PM THE ADMIN OF THE SWAP ONLY) REMEMBER THIS IS AN EXCHANGE AND EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN TECHNIQUES.) REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN WITH IT. IT IS JUST FOR FUN!!!
4. ALL complaints must be addressed by Private Message (pm) to the activity coordinator. In the unlikely event the coordinator cannot help solve the problem, please contact Carla (Admin).
5. Please Remember if you do multiple exchanges : Just remember to make sure you send to correct swaps!!! (OOPS, The items where shipped to wrong swap) Don't be rude and simply PM the swap admins of the swap participating in and hopefully the issue can be resolved.
6. MAKE SURE YOU mail/ship your packages using a carrier & method that provides tracking information (for example, USPS Priority).
7. You must agree to provide that tracking information to the Swap Coordinator as soon as the package has been sent.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS JUST FOR FUN... SO BE CURTIOUS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS PLEASE.
