Just so you all know...I have updated the Rules FAQ...Please for your own protection go peruse the FAQ section and take note of the rules of the site.

Any suggestions, complaints, or discussion of the RULES FAQ can go here in this thread.

Here's a link to the Rules FAQ: http://www.cartographersguild.com/faq.php?faq=rules_faq

I just want to say that I think this community has been lucky to have so many diverse, intersting and helpful people, and I'm honored to be a part of it. And while we've never had a problem to my knowledge with anything mentioned in the new FAQ, I think it's a good idea to have this so everyone is aware or reminded what our purpose and core values are.

Thanks!

I too look at the new FAQ and think, WOW! Have I missed something! Has there been some folks doing some of the stuff listed?

ANd then think, we must be pretty lucky to not have seen any of that stuff.

Again, like Jaerdeph, I think it is because of all the coll folks already here!

We've been extremely lucky here as far as having NOT seen the things on that list. We're growing rather quickly, and I'm just making sure that should any large scale administrative actions ever need to be taken, they're fully covered under the FAQ.

Very soon I'll also have a Terms of Use/Agreement update as well, to make sure that I can't get sued.

Just updated the FAQ regarding the guilds policy on Profanity. Am also leaving this thread stickied in order to call the FAQ to attention for new members.

I have a couple of questions I want to ask on my own work. This post, I think is good. I have proper attribution, though not Chicago manual style to the creator, and it's just a link. I figure if they have a problem, they can block it.

I think this is fair use, too. I'm confident that a paintover with proper source attribution would be kosher. Just like making a map based on GTOPO30 data. The map itself might be objectionable however and I will remove it on request.

I just want to be clear so that I don't cause annoyance.

[Robbie]

It should probably be reworded. The news section is open for posting by industry professionals that have been verified by our staff. I guess that would be an exception. I'm also getting ready to revamp the donation system and that may have an effect on the way these things are handled.

Is FAQ section up to date? Sometimes it's just easier to ask question that look for it in FAQ. I don't see a problem here.

[FangirlKitten]

Sounds like there have been some crazy things that can happen, as it always does in gatherings of people.

Yay for rules?

I haven't seen any of that yet ... but then again, I've only been trolling here for a few days. Everyone seems to be incredibly supportive, and ready to help. I will get there someday ... maybe someday
