They are filled with extensive amounts of information that you may be looking for. If you find that your question is unanswered, then post it in the FAQ stickies. [*:b1a2bef440]Post all questions in the appropriate sticky. There are two FAQ stickies that were created to answer all your questions. Individual posts will be locked. The only exception is a post with 4 or more pictures. Don't be smart either. If you take numerous photos of the same thing or of parts that show no flaw just to meet the requirement, it will still be locked. [*:b1a2bef440]If you are looking to have a custom or restoration job, post it in the marketplace. If you are looking for work, keep it there as well. Do NOT advertise your site with every post. Either post it in the marketplace or stick it in your signature. *For all transactions regarding customs, read the rules of the marketplace on the first page. Choose your customizer wisely. Always research your artist.* [*:b1a2bef440]If answering a question, do NOT give false answers. People come here to find answers. It is not fair for them to be mislead. If you do not know the solution, do not post. [*:b1a2bef440]There is absolutely no flaming allowed here. You are free to give honest criticisms or reviews on other's work.

If hosting from another site, please try to resize your pictures to a reasonable size. [*:b1a2bef440]If your thread was locked, do not repost a new thread with the same content. All threads locked are done for a reason. If you have a question regarding why it was locked, or want to discuss the problem please contact the mod who locked it.

[b:f9e9ca9c9b]Selling, Trading, Buying Customs or Service[/b:f9e9ca9c9b] [list:f9e9ca9c9b][*:f9e9ca9c9b]For those who wish to sell their services, you cannot sell in the main marketplace until you have the finished product. Unless, you have pictures of the finished, tangible product, you cannot sell in the general marketplace. [*:f9e9ca9c9b]All matters regarding finding the a customizer/customer or advertising your work should be posted in the Custom Marketplace. If you wish to have physical evidence of a custom service in order to prevent fraud or a poorly done job, post it in here as well or pm me if you wish. [*:f9e9ca9c9b]If you wish to receive feedback for the transaction, the customizer must have the shoe finished and must take your standard tagged pictures of the finished product. This will also help the customer as well as the mods since we will be able to see everything before it gets shipped out. [*:f9e9ca9c9b]As usual, the basic marketplace rules still apply. In order to be eligible to receive feedback and participate in the marketplace, you must be a member for at least 3 months and have at least 100 posts. If you want to do a transaction outside of the forum, you are at your own risk and we cannot be held responsible even if the artist is a member here.[/list:u:f9e9ca9c9b]

Due to the lengthiness of these rules, it discourages the user from reading them. Some of them are not even a problem we have here. I have posted an updated set of simplified rules to be followed.
