General Exchange Rules (for ALL CT Exchanges)
These are general overall rules in addition
to the
rules each exchange coordinator has in place.
1. You must have a valid email address
and must be the
same email used to join Crochet Talk.
2. You must provide any database information
and a JIC
(if required)
to the coordinator of the group before
you are approved as a member
and have access to the
group pages.
3. Once approved and ready to exchange you must:
Communicate!
It is a key factor to making any exchange
work well
and an enjoyment to all who are a part.
*Acknowledge to the coordinator you have received your
assignment
and/or partner information in a timely
manner
*Send a "Puffy Alert" to your partner when you mail
out your item
also blind carbon copying (bcc) to the
coordinator.
*Send a "Thank You" to your partner and exchange group
DETAILING
what you received.
A post to our Crochet
Talk group is nice, but not required.
4. Mailing Deadlines
Assignments must be mailed in a timely manner
in order
for your partner to recieve it before the deadline-
In the case of monthly exchanges,
your assignment must
be mailed
at least one week prior to the posted
deadline...
For exchanges that are longer than a month,
your
assignment must be mailed out
at least 2 weeks prior
to the posted deadline.
Please also let your coordinator know when you mail,
this is required.
5. Being tardy
Best advice- Don't be....
1st time you mail late
(without a specific and valid
reason the coordinator is aware of well before it's
late)
you will be suspsended for a "1 round" time
period.
Not just in the exchange in which you are
late,
but in each and every exchange you are
participating in.
2nd time- you will be suspended from participation
for
a 6 month time period in each and every exchange.
3rd time- You will be removed as a member of that
exchange
and not eligible for any exchange at Crochet
Talk.
6. Adding extra "goodies" to your puffies.
This is NOT
required but up to each individual who is mailing.
Everyone has different financial situations
so adding
tea bags, little things from the dollar store, etc
are
very nice and are allowed but again not required.
It's
always nice to have a bio from your partner including
an email,
so a personal thank you is easily sent.
Free
pattern sheets are always a nice touch and a fun
addition.
Note:
This rules may seem harsh or mean, they are not
meant that way in the least.
They have been written to
ensure that each member will be aware of what's
expected
when joining an exchange and each member will
abide by the same general rules.
It really isn't the
coordinators job to have to
keep reminding each member
to mail, post a thank you or respond to an email-
their job is to be a part of a fun exchange.
