Welcome to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) polite_crochet. We are pretty much like other crochet communities with the exception of one thing. There have been problems in the past of certain people in these communities being extremely rude and hurtful of people who innocently made mistakes when posting information. It's not appreciated, and many people now fear to post, or at least are frustrated about posting, in other communities because they don't want to deal with having to try and mind read what these people expect from you, and they don't appreciate continuing to get flamed and called rude things even when they make the effort to appease the troll. The moderator has not curbed the troll, and it's really gotten out of hand, so...hence this community.
Sure, there are going to be times you forget to put the copyright, or the designer's name, or any other little bit of information. You might be sharing an article and when cleaning up the html so that it doesn't mess up the page you might remove important information in the process and not realize it.
WE ALL HAVE OUR OFF DAYS.
HERE in this forum, you won't be treated like a serial killer for it. We ask that users POLITELY (and you can see examples of such in the user info) remind other users to add this critical information. We don't want to be in violation of reasonable and generally accepted rules, sometimes when we post late at night or are not feeling well though we miss things, and simply need a KIND reminder. This is really the only big difference between us and the other communities. We ask that you be polite to each other. Some people feel that they can't be bothered to do such. They aren't welcome here, there are other communities who tolerate and accept thier rudeness.
Right now this is a free journal. If anyone would like to donate, we'll give them a gold star put up thier name on the user info as a supporter of the community. I'm also looking for co-moderators to help out, and would dearly love if the users would post thier handiest crochet related links, which I will get added-hopefully in the memories set up if we can get paid status.
Do you like to design icons? Would love to see what you come up with, the community could use one! You too will get gold starred as a supporter! (I truely wish I could provide prizes for such, but I'm afraid budget is tight, hence MY not even being able to make the journal paid.)
I'm hoping somewhere in the future maybe we can do swaps, if the group likes the idea, though not everyone will have to participate, it will be a whoever wants can play kind of thing. Maybe even contests, who knows?
The main thing is stay on crochet related things, be nice to each other, and enjoy yourself. Ask questions, share information, show us those wonderful completed projects!! Tell us about your WIPS (works in progress) and your favorite yarns, favorite patterns, and ideas for going new ways of crocheting!
We are here to have fun....the polite business is mainly to remind people that it's not fun when someone jumps all over you rudely for making a simply mistake....instead POLITELY ask for clarification of information. It will mean a less nervous, less angry, less frustrated group of people, which will mean more fun and information sharing!!!
