File - Group Guidelines

Thanks so much to everyone for posting, sharing, and helping each other. This group rocks!

Computerscrapping.com Guidelines:
1. When posting layouts (which you are encouraged to do!) put LO in your subject with a name so those viewing messages at the group site can easily locate layouts to check out.
2. Share what programs you used and how much is computer-generated (CG),
all, journaling, titles, etc. Share any credits such as embellishments and fonts.
3. Keep the email file size under 150K, considering those of us on dial-up with slow
connections and small email accounts. If you're unsure how to resize the file for viewing, just ask. Someone here probably has your program and/or your scanner and will be glad to help. In general, reduce your files to 72 ppi resolution and 6" high. That fills a screen and usually allows the journaling to be read.
4. If you have pages posted on a website, please send a link as well. Yahoo does not store attachments, so those on digest or no mail will not be able to view your pages if you don't.
5. You can also post layouts in folders in the Files section:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/computerscrapping/files/
6. You can post your photos in the Photos section so we can put a face with your name (optional of course):
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/computerscrapping/lst
7. You can post your favorite links to sites, fonts, programs, tips, tutorials, etc in the Links section (no ads please):
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/computerscrapping/links
8. ***Only ADS related specifically to computer scrapping are welcome, ONLY ON FRIDAYS (US, EST) AND ONLY WITH AD in the subject line. These emails must be under 150k. No other ads, solicitations, flaming, or mean comments of any kind allowed.
9. You may not blatenly advertise for other designers by putting a preview to the kit you used in your email, put the name of the designer and kit name in your email subject line, or any other form of advertising not specifically mentioned here. Please feel free to credit the designers work that you used but that may only be done by giving the designers name, kit name, and link to the kit in the body of your email only.
10. FREEBIES- The sharing of freebies is permitted but please keep in mind that the sole purpose of this group is for sharing layouts and not freebies. If it becomes apparent that a person is using this group to promote their freebies then they will be limited on what can be shared. As a general rule, freebies should be limited to 1 or 2 per week on days other than Fridays.
10. Members on daily digest replying to a message, please change the subject line to the topic.
11. Please make sure to delete all but a line or two of the message you are replying to. The long repeated messages not only make for large messages, but also make them difficult to read for those on digest.
12. No cross posting allowed (sending to many groups at once). If you need to send a message to all lists, please copy and paste your message into new messages for each list. This will alleviate problems with responses coming to our list from other lists or the confusion for those who are not subbed to the other lists and are unable to respond to those lists. Or if it's possible with your email program, you can just BCC: all the groups so that no one can see the addresses.
13. Please send your "that's a freaking awesome layout" to the person privately. Use reply to sender instead of reply all.
14. If you ask how something is done though, please send to the list so we can all benefit from the answer. Make sure to include the list in any technique, program, idea, whatever questions, so we can all help and/or learn.
15. If you don't want the huge amount of emails in your inbox, please change your settings to daily digest to receive ~25 at once or go no mail and read them at the site. That way you can scan the subjects and only read what interests you. Change settings here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/computerscrapping
16. Most importantly, HAVE FUN! No exceptions made on this one!!

We're sticking to the topic of computer scrapping, so let's only share layouts done on the computer (all or just a part is fine). There are very few groups for computer scrappers and about a gazillion groups for sharing hand scrapped layouts, so we don't need to redo that here. We highly recommend the Layouts group, as there are over 4,000 members and it's whole purpose is sharing layouts. Talk about ideas! You can find it here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Layouts/
Ditto with the ads. Plenty of groups allow ads for auctions, supplies, consultants, etc, so again, they're not needed here. Let's stick to computer scrapping and have fun!
Don't worry, any issues with our guidelines will be handled off list and in a very nice manner, because why bother everyone with it and why be a meanie??

Thanks everyone!
