[FAQs]
My membership was approved,but I can't post in the community.Whats up with that? If your membership was approved and the option to post in babyicons isn't on your communities list,its probably the fault of LJ.sometimes, members are approved but aren't immediately granted posting access,even though the community is set up that way.Just comment here to let us know you're having that problem and we'll correct it ASAP :)
I was declined to join your community.How Come? if you were declined,there could be a few reasons why:
-you don't have credit for your icons/graphics.even if you made them yourself,or if you've found them from some unknown source,we require that you have that in your keywords,otherwise we cant be sure you'll credit us,we like credit.
-you have less then 10 friends or your journal has zero entries.these things are typical of troll journals,and while we're not accusing you,we are trying to protect our community and its members from picture-thieves & graphic-stealer's,both of which we've had before.if your journal is new or only a few friends because it's a separate journal of yours just let us know.theres are always to work things out.
[Rules]
01.Posts in this community must be a request or a pick up.
Any off-topic post will be deleted.
02.Requests must be made Sunday-Thursday.
The community will be closed Friday & Saturday for pick ups
& so makers & mods may catch the community up.
03.The Request Form must be used when requesting.You will only be warned once then your request will be deleted.
04.Every Request made here must be for a specific maker.
Updated makers list are posting through out the week.
05.Do not direct link anything from this community.
use tinypic & learn how to use icons here.
06.Do not take anything that is not yours or that wasnt made for you.
07.Credit is a must.
Learn how to credit here.
08.Icon credit must be in given in icon keywords.
Learn how to use keywords here.
Miscellaneous graphics are to be credited only on the page they are being used on, a link to another page for credit is not acceptable. You may NOT use hover credits to credit graphics, as they don't work in all browsers.
09.We have a select few icon makers who are approved to make icons. If you would like to be an icon maker, please join thecommunity, then go here & fill out the application & reply in a comment on that post.
10.You must wait at least TEN REQUESTING days before inquiring about your request, or reposting. Icon makers have lives.The makers in this community may also be involved in other communities,and it can take them a little longer, especially if they're taking regular requests in this community, as well.
11.Don't cross-post your request to other communities. We realize we aren't the only child-oriented graphics community in LJ-Land, but some of us are makers in two or three different communities, and it's not cool to have to fill the same request two or three times. It's also a little offensive to the communities you cross-post to. In addition, if your request is received, you aren't allowed to ask the maker to edit it. That's why the "additional info" section is on the request form.
12.Do not comment on any request post unless you are a graphics-maker. This is how most graphics request go overlooked.
13. You may never go to a mod's or a maker's personal journal about graphics, but mods or makers can go to yours if they notice you are not crediting correctly.
14.You may not join our community with a "community"or "pregnancy" journal, as it's usually very hard to distinguish those from troll journals. Please, join our community only with your regular journal.
15.By clicking 'join', you are acknowledging the rules and are commenting yourself to them. Any rule-breaking will result in banned members.
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE COMMUNITY RULES, YOUR REQUEST WILL BE DELETED.
