Aymee, I think you're going to have a mutiny on your hands if you stop posting, so you better re-think this
. No seriously, no one wants you to stop sharing your beautiful creations....and clearly, no one wants to lose you as an inspiration for their own work. You *are* following the rules, you're not bending them - so please don't worry about that aspect. As long as you're posting within the guidelines, you should feel confident in sharing whatever you wish!
Exactly, this is was just a friendly reminder because we had a few new folks to this area who weren't aware of the section rules. We have to be direct and timely about matters like this because we always want to try to be fair to all.
The fashion forum is intended to be a fun place to share your creations, get feedback, discuss projects, and share expertise.
Where it can venture into a grey area is when it's mostly only vendors posting, and then this section appears to be a 'display' and a second For Sale section for vendors. And *that's* where it starts to feel unfair to our other vendors who sell other things on YT. They start asking why clothes vendors get an entire other section to post pictures of their products. For example, we have people here who sell grooming supplies - they are not allowed to post pictures of their product in their own thread in the Grooming forum, even though that's what they sell. Nor do they get a 2nd, separate section where they can share about their products. There is ONE place where their product can be seen -- and that's in the For Sale section. Whereas for clothing vendors, they have this section as an additional space to show their wares. And while that's not necessarily the intention here (to show what you're
selling), we all need to be sensitive to our fellow members and sellers as to how it appears. SO, that's where the one thread a week offers some equality and some fair limits.
Anyone and everyone who has a creation to share here should feel welcome to share, as long as they're willing to follow the rules of the section. That's all. And if a member is interested in an item you show and they accidentally ask about it in the thread, PM them and address it privately, so that your thread doesn't turn into a sale thread.
This should be a FUN forum/section of YT - a lighthearted, drama free zone. Don't let negativity turn it into something else
.
