3. Requesting
a).Family and children come first before this community and anything else!Do not harass makers, or expect anything to be filled with lightening speed. We all have children, families and/or jobs to take care of before we can even think about about icons and banners.
b). If you are making a request please be clear, allow time, do not cross-post the request to another community and only request graphics for yourself, never for friends, other family members, or businesses/organizations. When you have picked up a graphic, please let the maker know you got it and when you use it credit the maker appropriately if asked.
c). The graphics you request here must be used, do not request if you're not going to use it. If it will be used somewhere other than LJ(myspace, GJ, printed, etc) please get permission from the maker to use it elsewhere.
d). Do not request from EVERY offer!Please remember that we are a large community with over 650 members,some of whom work all day and don't get online as much as others, they would like graphics as well. Do not request from the same maker two offers in a row, and do not request more than once a day period.
4. Contact
Keep all communication to our mods and makers within the
_proudmomma & _proudmods communities. Do not EVER follow a mod or maker to a personal journal to ask questions. If you want to make a private complaint, please email one of the moderators.
