How can newbies learn the rules?
I mentioned this in response to another
question, but I think the best thing is to
make it it's own topic. I'd been
watching the group for a while and thought
I understood it before I decided to
participate and post any questions and some
freebies. Turns out, I did not understand
everything. I read the tutorials, but
that did not tell me some of the things
I've learned from posts in recent
days; and I don't read all the posts
and comments (I'm supposed to be
working :o). I'd love to see some
instruction someplace.
I think it is tremendous of Miss Veronika
to accommodate the request for a new tag
for freebies and so quickly. How will
"newer-bies" learn about it and
how to use it?
Related to many comments in recent days,
I'd like to request that we try to
limit the name-calling, sarcasm or other
aggressive language that suggests this
community is not as friendly as many of you
know it to be. That will give someone
like me time to get to know people as
friendly and supportive as well. At the
risk of being bombarded with unkind
comments, let's remember that if we
don't have anything nice to say, we
don't need to say anything at all.
Respectfully,
Anne
1365 Anne, A hearty welcome to you here at Cute.
I think you will find everybody very
helpful and friendly
(as I did when first coming here). Just
pitch in and do your thing and ask as many
questions as you like. There will always be
somebody with the answer. A *4U as a
welcome gift. Annatjie
1000 Ann, I see you have gotten some great answers and I will leave it at that - if you have any other questions - let us know - we will be glad to assist. *4U
96728 Welcome, Anne! Anything that is not covered in the tutorials so far will hopefully be covered in the rules Veronika is writing. This site is about helping people with embroidery issues, first and foremost. That's why the community section was put here. Name-calling and finger-pointing is not permitted, and will be dealt with. If you see such things, please hit the "abuse" button, it will help us all. If you have any questions, or need help navigating the site, you may ask me and I'll help as much as I can. No question is 'dumb', because if we did not ask questions, how could we learn? And no one should have to be afraid of asking a question for fear of being bombarded with unkind comments. That is not the purpose of this site, nor the direction it should take. I hope you will find this site to be the friendly and welcoming place I know it has been to many. Again, Welcome! Marji
22882 Thanks Anne for your input. Veronika is
working on some changes to this site which
will hopefully incorporate a set of
guidelines posted on either the homepage of
CUTE or on a separate tab. Haven't
heard which way she'll take it, but
she does recognize the urgency in the
matter.
Additionally, name calling, sarcasm and
aggressive language is NOT permitted on
this site and I encourage you to use the
"abuse" button when you see
inappropriate postings. The site owner is
currently finding moderators for CUTE which
will solve a lot of the problems
immediately.
Hang in there Anne... Veronika is doing her
best to clean up the community. :-)
Hugs,
teri

Please send any suggestions to Veronika
personally (you can Private Message
"Test"). She is considering all
input and really trying to change the
direction this site has unfortunately gone
at times.
Welcome to CUTE Anne! We're glad
you're here.
Hugs, teri

I'm an editor, and I did PM her and offer to help draft and/or edit any instructions she might be needing. I figure if we all pitch in a little where we can, that will help her. Anne

She had Marji type out some tutorials, but unfortunatley they get burried... I think at this point they need to be reviewed and posted where others can see. I think your skills Anne would be greatly used here... thank you for offering your services. :-) I'm sure Veronika will be very pleased! :-)

Thanks Teri for letting me know that changes are in the works. I hesitated to say what I did and did not want to point fingers; did not think about the abuse button (still learning ;)). I appreciate your support.
