THE RULES QUICKLY. (original) (raw)

I just want to make clear of the rules because I don't think we ever did.
What's allowed and what isn't, basically.

NO L.A.M.B.
THIS IS HARJUKU LOVERS

HA-RA-JU-KU LO-VERS!
No posts about, or selling of L.A.M.B. items.
Posts just about L.A.M.B. will be deleted straight away.
If you are asked to remove something to do with L.A.M.B from your post, you have a few hours to do so before the whole post is deleted.

This is our main rule as it's the one that is constantly broken and it gets really boring having to ask people to edit out their L.A.M.B. again and again. I have had members complain about all the L.A.M.B. posts.

YES HARAJUKU LOVERS SALES
Selling of Harajuku Lovers is allowed. Your post must not include any L.A.M.B. items though.
Breaking this rule will result in any of the following:
you will be asked to fix your post
your post will be deleted (possibly without warning)

You can post links to ebay auctions and websites also for the selling of HL.
If your ebay auctions happen to include L.A.M.B. as well as HL, this is fine as it is uncontrollable.
Just do not advertise the L.A.M.B. in your post.

NO OFF-TOPIC POSTS
No posts about general Japanese fashion. That is not what this community is about.
No posts about Gwen Stefani or No Doubt in general. Not all fans of Harajuku Lovers are fans of Gwen's music.
Comments/replies to entries that are off-topic are fine.

KNOWN SCAMMERS WILL BE BANNED
Because we allow sales, we expect that both buyers and sellers are wary of scammers. If we find out that a known scammer is selling items here, we will place a ban on them.
Not typically scamming,but bans will also be placed on sellers who lie in their descriptions in order to sell an item (i.e condition, wrong size etc).
If there is a large amount of bad feedback about a seller we will discuss their rights of selling here, (we may allow users to stay members, as long as they no longer trade)
We will not place bans regulary, only in extreme cases, so you still must not rely on us to keep this community fully safe.
A good LJ community to check is lambie_scammers.
You must also be aware that if you post your email, it allows members who may be banned from selling to contact you about a possible trade.

If you have had a bad trade with a user here, feel free to post and talk to other members about it. It IS allowed. But you should do so after speaking to them first.

OTHER BANS
If you constantly break the rules and purposely ignore me time and time again you will be banned. If you spam our community more than twice with completely off topic posts you will be banned. Luckily this has only happened once.

PICTURES DO NOT HAVE TO GO BEHIND CUTS
Not really an actual rule but just a request that you all continue using courtesy and thought when posting pictures. LJ-CUT = your best friend. Not necessary for all images, but try to use one when posting multiple/large (in pixels and file size) ones. Flash based slideshows or widgets should go behind a cut from now on. You should also try not to hotlink from websites and use image hosting sites.

That's it really.
Thanks for helping this community to become so easy to moderate.
