GUILD RULES

SouthOfNeptune and I put these rules together quite a long time ago before we had even created the guild. They are pretty basic. Woo.

1. Please follow Gaian ToS and rules
Make sure you keep everything as PG-13 as possible. Control the excessive use of swearing. Nudity and Violence is not tolerated in this guild and will result in having your post deleted and you will possibly be banned. Any problematic posts will be deleted or reported depending on what was written.


2. Respect other guild members and Gaians
Do not make rude or abusive comments towards other users in the guild. If you have any problems, solve them quietly and on your own, outside of the guild, rather than starting insignificant fights. If the problem keeps occurring, PM either SouthOfNeptune or myself and we will try to control the situation, banning only if necessary. We do not tolerate any sort of racism or homophobic posts. It is an immediate ban. Mind other users’ opinions and works and use constructive criticism when commenting on a project or pattern.


3. Respect the Owner and Moderators
SouthOfNeptune and I are pretty lenient when it comes down to a lot of things but if either of us ask you to change your post, or if we change it for you, please don't feel offended. Ask us why we went ahead and did what we did, we'll give you an answer and hear you out. We're very open. Just make sure that you confront us with open eyes as well.


4. Please Try To Type Fairly Normal
I understand that a lot of users have trouble with spelling and grammar. Oh trust me, I know. But please try to refrain from using abbreviations such as, “u”, “ur”, or “c ya”. It is perfectly understandable to abbreviate knitting patterns because if we didn’t, let’s face it, the page would be a never-ending scroll of death. But to use abbreviations like those stated above in a normal sentence is very unbearable. Try to stay away from it.


5. Advertising
Please don’t do it. You want people to visit your quest thread? That’s great. We’ll put a link on our affiliate/random threads post. You want people to join your cooking guild? Wonderful! We’ll add you to our list of affiliates. Please do not post an entry that consists of just a link to your guild or other threads. That’s not what we’re here for. We’re here to share knitting ideas and to learn from each other.


6. No spamming
Don't bump a thread if you have nothing to say and don't stretch the page; it's that simple. If you're in a thread chatting with other members about random things, that's fine. But this is not a bumping guild so please try to minimize the bumping here.

7. Images
If you have a large amount of pictures in your post, state that somewhere in the topic so that it won’t kill the users who are still suffering with Dial-Up internet (they still exist, I'm partially one of them). Other than that, feel free to show off your wonderful works of knitting/spinning art all over this guild. We love to see what you’ve come up with!


8. Please Do Not Beg
Pretty basic. Don’t beg for gold, attention, or avi art. This is not the place for that at all!

FAQs


1. Who's in charge around here?
HolyCrapLiz (that's me) is the captain of this guild. I created this guild, I maintain it, fix the artistic images, and lounge around doing nothing. SouthOfNeptune is my Vice-Captain seeing as how she is the one who taught me to knit. Either of us will be able to answer questions, help with conflicts, and throw parties whenever we can.

2. There are already four knitting guilds. Why another?
Neither SouthOfNeptune or myself were satisfied with the current knitting guilds available. They either lacked modding skills, organization, included other sorts of crafts besides knitting, or they just didn't seem fun. We put together our guild in hopes of creating a more organized and enjoyable atmosphere for knitters and spinners, male and female, young and old alike, to find a common ground. We strive to make this knitting guild the most updated, growing, and entertaining guild of our day.

3. Are there any standards or requirements to join?
The only requirement we'd like someone to have is the passion to knit. If you've never picked up needles before but you're thinking about learning, we'll love to have you here so we can help you learn! If you've been knitting for 28 years, we'd also love to have you in our guild so you could share your knowledge with us. Anyone who is willing can join this guild.

4. If I want to donate to the guild, do I use the the donation slot on the home page?
Please do not donate using that form. We are only able to use that money to buy more subforums. We have our guild mule for which you can trade gold to which we will hold on to for the upcoming contests we are hoping to get started once we have more available members.

5. What do I do if I find something that is against Gaian ToS in the guild?
Immediately report it to me or SouthOfNeptune so that we can report and delete the post.

6. I have a suggestion for the guild. What do I do?
Either PM your suggestion to HolyCrapLiz or SouthOfNeptune. If we think it is in fact a good idea, we will consult the rest of the guild members so that everyone's opinions are heard or we might just implement your idea right away. It just depends on the nature of the suggestion.

7. I'd like to be affiliated with you.
In the event that you would like to be KnitWit affiliate, please contact me through a PM with your guild name and what your guild does or is about and I will contact you as soon as possible to let you know if SouthOfNeptune and I agree on adding you (we pretty much add anyone).

8. Can I apply to be a moderator?
Unfortunately, we do not take applications for moderators. SouthofNeptune and myself choose people to mod when we think they have a lot of knowledge and leadership skills which can help the guild members. Do not ask us; we will ask you.

9. Can I post in another guild or forum representing KnitWits?
You may use our banners in your signatures or on your profiles but please do NOT post in public forums or other guild forums unless you've received permission from me ahead of time. The only reason we do this is because sometimes, people get overexcited about a new guild and they'll post links where it's not allowed, or they'll spam and that in turn makes us look kind of desperate and not so good. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Guild Mule
Meet...

User Image
Knitwits Guild Mule


Knitwits Guild Mule is his name. If you ever have the urge to donate to the guild for future quests, please do NOT use the guild donation slot on the home page. That only allows us to buy subforums which we are not in need of.

If you donate to the mule, we can use the gold or items for upcoming contests and events. Your username will be posted on his profile and (more than likely) in this thread, thanking you for your awesome donation.
