Community Information

Below is information about the "Baby Icons" community on LiveJournal. To join this community, click here. You may leave the community at any time.

Welcome! The purpose of this community is to post pregnancy andbaby-related icons, made by Live Journal users. Anyone may post, andanyone may use, but like most communities, we do have a few rules.We're sorry, but it's a necessary evil. Please read the rules before joining the community.

this community does nothave open membership. this means you must join and wait for approvalbefore you can request a graphic from the community. once you join, oneof the moderators will check your journal. you will be declinedmembership if you have only a few friends added, if you do not creditgraphics and icons, etc. if you were denied membership and wanted toknow why, please contact a moderator by clicking HERE or by sending an e-mail to babyicons@gmail.com. all posts in this community must be friends-only, or they will be deleted, with or without notice. the drama, the picture-stealing, and the trolls are just unnecessary to our happy community.

RULES
01.Posts in this community must be a request or a pick up.
Any off-topic post will be deleted.

02.Requests must be made Sunday-Thursday.
The community will be closed Friday & Saturday for pick ups
& so makers & mods may cath the community up.

03.The Request Form must be used when requesting.You will only be warned once then your request will be deleted.

04.Every Request made here must be for a specific maker.
Updated makers list are posting through out the week.

05.Do not direct link anything from this community.
use tinypic & learn how to use icons here.

06.Do not take anything that is not yours or that wasnt made for you.

07.Credit is a must.

08.Icon credit must be in given in icon keywords.
Learn how to use keywords here.
 Miscellaneous graphics are to be credited only on the page they are being used on, a link to another page for credit is not acceptable. You may NOT use hover credits to credit graphics, as they don't work in all browsers.

09.We have a select few icon makers who are approved to make icons. If you would like to be an icon maker, please join thecommunity, then go here & fill out the application & reply in a comment on that post.

10.You must wait at least TEN REQUESTING daysbefore inquiring about your request, or reposting. Icon makers havelives.The makers in this community may also be involved in other communities,and it can take them a little longer, especially if they're takingregular requests in this community, as well.

11.Don't cross-post your request to othercommunities. We realize we aren't the only child-oriented graphicscommunity in LJ-Land, but some of us are makers in two or threedifferent communities, and it's not cool to have to fill the samerequest two or three times. It's also a little offensive to thecommunities you cross-post to. In addition, if your request isrecieved, you aren't allowed to ask the maker to edit it. That's whythe "additional info" section is on the request form.

12.Do not comment on any request post unless you are a graphics-maker. This is how most graphics request go overlooked.

13. You may never go to a mod's or a maker's personal journal about graphics, but mods or makers can go to yours if they notice you are not crediting correctly.

14.You may not join our community with a "community"or "pregnancy" journal, as it's usually very hard to distinguish thosefrom troll journals. Please, join our community only with your regularjournal.

15.By clicking 'join', you are acknowledging therules and are commiting yourself to them. Any rule-breaking will resultin banned members.

IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE COMMUNITY RULES, YOUR REQUEST WILL BE DELETED.
