Guidelines for the Craftsman’s Corner

[admin]

EDCF Craftsman Designation

• A registered forum member in good standing who individually (no employees) produces goods for resale and does not market or sell his/her creations through retailers may offer his/her products through the Craftsman’s Corner. (If a member does not meet these requirements, he/she may be eligible as a manufacturer.)
• The cost for Craftsman status: $30 per three months — just $10/month — payable via auto-recurring PayPal charge until changed/cancelled.
• A Craftsman will be identified with a custom title/badge beneath his/her avatar and provided a dedicated sub-forum, Craftsman’s Corner, located in The Marketplace, in which to conduct marketing and selling activities.
• Only badged Craftsmen and forum staff may initiate and post new threads in the Craftsman’s Corner; regular members may post replies, comments, and questions in such threads.
• Craftsmen may not initiate threads about their product(s) in other parts of the forum; however, they may post answers to questions appearing in threads outside of the Craftsman’s Corner. Use of shills to create questions or interest is prohibited.
• Only Craftsmen may reference their product(s) or business in their sig-line, which may include a link to their website or blog. Maximum font size is 4, and link may display as “raw” URL or be embedded in a text string that might be the craftsman business name or the widget(s)’ name.
• It is understood that some members identified as Craftsman might one day be reclassified as a manufacturer if their operation changes. The forum reserves the right to not approve a member’s request for Craftsman status.
• For questions or more information, contact scríbhneoir or xbanker.
