I never saw an answer to my question so wanted to ask again. I think a lot of rules are interpretted by their obvious intent..as they should be. So what is the intent of the rule? 4 pics or 4 projects?

Not trying to be difficult, Ann. I don't think ppl should go around trying to break or bend rules. This forum is too fair of a place for that silliness. But the rule here is confusing as to strict "by the words" enforcement verses unbiased interpretation of intent.

I don't know the answer, but hopefully Anne will pop in and elaborate.

If all else fails, join me in my rebellion and lets break all the YT rules together??

1. No selling in this section

2. Members are allowed ONE thread per week; they can share up to FOUR items in their thread.

(From the Original FF Rules Sticky)

Update:

Members are allowed ONE thread per week for posting up to four FINISHED items, and no more than that. If you are not posting a finished item and/or just want to discuss topics or pictures of projects you're working on, this limit does not apply.

If your item is more than 80% finished, please consider it a FINISHED item as it applies to this new rule; the exception to this would be if you're working on a project, it's 80% + finished, but you have a question on technique or have run into something about which you need help so that you can finish the project. In this case, you do not need to consider it a 'finished' product when posting.

Please assume the week runs Monday - Sunday for the purposes of one finished-product thread per week.

I can see where the confusion starts! No where (in either thread) does any rule/update state a limit to the number of pics one can post, we are only limited to one thread per week, and 4 projects per thread. So, I agree, we do need a more explicit/additional update concerning the number of pics one can post.

Ah ha . . . See, and this is why I posted my collages. 4 X 4 photos of each item. I read these rules several times and like you all no where does it state a limit to the number of photos only the number of items. But when my threads had been modified and the photos were reduces I didn't want to start a big stink about it so I let it go.

So no breaking or even bending of the rules took place so there . . .

Why should we even HAVE this problem? Why don't the YT vendors post their items in the For Sale forum where they belong?

Don't really need a response, I already know the answer.

I'll alter the rules so they read more explicitly to reflect that 4 *images* are allowed, and no collages . (that was quite brilliant, I will admit, Miss Dawn!)

Thank You Miss Ann for changing the rules so that they reflect the #4 photos/images only rule. No mistaking that !!

I'm not a vendor, and I only have quilts....


I think the fashion forum shouldn't be about items for sale, its a bring and brag sort of forum. To show off our accomplishments and ooh and ahh over other peoples accomplishments.
