SaucyDwellings
Make with the Sauce!
Website:Saucy Help
About:Welcome to the home of the sauciest dwellings on LiveJournal! If you’re new here, please take the time to read the entire info page before you make your first post.

We are strictly a show-off-your-saucy-dwelling community. Here’s how it works:
• When you post in this community, please include pictures of your saucy dwelling, or rooms within it (please stick to an entire room or group of rooms when you show your pictures, and avoid posts which show off only a knick-knack or a collection of plates).
• Before-and-after pictures are greatly encouraged, as are good descriptions of how you got your ideas or carried out your evil saucifying plan. In-progress pictures do not belong here – look for our sister community below for a good place to post those.
• If you feel the need to apologize for the boxes in the corner of the picture, or all the dog hair on the carpet, or the blurriness of the picture, maybe you’d better rethink posting it. We like to see your saucy dwelling in all of its finery, not when it’s just woken up with a hangover.

We would love to see 99% of the posts in this community be great examples of saucy dwellings. In fact, the only text-only posts allowed by members from now on will be requests for pictures or a starting point for meta-discussions, and these type of requests are only allowed on FRIDAYS. When requesting pictures, please keep your text to a MINIMUM, and and just ask for pics. It's not necessary to elaborate on why you need the pics. :)

Remember: FRIDAYS are for "Show me your..." posts. Thanks.

We aren't here to explain to you what "saucy" is. Most people who have the sauce already get it. For the most part, if you have any hesitation or reservation about posting what you "think" might not be saucy, or even relevant to the community - then you should probably follow your gut and post it somewhere else.

Constructive criticism is welcome. Meanness is not. If you post and don’t wish to receive any constructive criticism, please mention it in your post. But don’t be afraid to post pictures of your dwelling because you think people will flame you for them. As of 04/20/2007, the community is working on a three strikes and you're out policy. Meanness and starting drama in the comments will not be tolerated!

Spam, of course, is unsaucy. And nobody likes to be unsaucy.

Please use an lj-cut if you are planning on posting more than one picture (or one oversized picture), in politeness to those members who are stuck with dial-up or who have easily messed-up friends' pages. If you post several pictures without using an lj-cut, you will be warned and given a fair amount of time to fix your post before it's deleted by the mod. (Correctly sizing your pictures is a good idea, too – if you can take the time and effort to make your home saucy, you can take the time and effort to share nice pictures of it.)

If you disable or freeze comments, your post will be subject to deletion by the mod.

Be sure to add any tags, as applicable, so that other members can search for your dwelling for inspiration in the future.

Please come to the moderators with any concerns you may have! Things get fixed much more quickly and easily if you talk to a mod than if you post a rant. Mods are: [info]rivulet, [info]on_a_hill, and [info]this0is0love; and you can email us at sdshmods @ gmail.com.

If you have a picture of your in-progress saucification as well as any questions about saucifying your dwelling, including (but not limited to) where to buy a couch, what paint colors complement each other, how to apply a faux finish to walls, or any other requests for advice, please please please use [info]saucyhelp! SaucyHelp is our sister community designed to keep SaucyDwellings clutter-free as well as to dole out a bit of sauce when you need it. SaucyHelp is populated by SaucyDwellings members who know what they’re doing when it comes to sauce, so if you need help (or if you like to see more in-progress pictures or give some advice of your own), please join [info]saucyhelp!

Be sure to visit our close neighbors:

[info]flatdwelling for great pictures of saucy apartments!
[info]saucygardens for hints and ideas on what's outside your saucy dwelling.
[info]saucycontents for individual pieces of furniture and especially saucy items you have in your dwelling.
[info]domestic_bliss for little pieces of life and moments in your home.

*************10/23/07 UPDATE************************
ANY snotty comments made to a post will get you suspended from the group for one month. It will constitute your "first strike" in the group as well. We will not warn you. If we see you comment with a "OMG your room is killing my brain!" or "That would be nice without all the piles of sh*t everywhere" your comment will be deleted and you will be suspended for 30 days.

Please be aware, we do allow TRULY CONSTRUCTIVE comments. You ARE allowed to say "That's not saucy" or things like "Your room would be a lot saucier if you changed XYZ". It's ok to let people know, honestly what you think of their space, but it's NOT OK to be mean anymore.
