[ MOD ] Clarification/Reminder of Selling Rule 8
*** Please read this post. ***

There seems to be a lot of issues with this new rule. I understand that it is new, and that some people may have missed my initial post of the rule. I have decided to post here to remind everyone and to hopefully clear up a lot of confusion. I've reworded it so hopefully it is easier to understand:
"Your post must only contain Hetalia merchandise. Your main post (in other words, the post that you lead people to for sale of Hetalia-related items) must be Hetalia-only. This is a Hetalia selling community, not a place where you can advertise your sales of other items. You may link a separate sales post containing non-Hetalia items in the guidelines or introduction of the Hetalia sales post, just as long as it doesn't draw too much attention. If you want to sell a bunch of general items, try garagesalejapan. (Flags, items having flags on them, unique/hard to find cosplay accessories, and cosplay sets count as Hetalia-related items. Also, if there is a lot that has a majority of Hetalia items and a small minority of other items that you wish to group auction, you are free to do so here. If you have any sort of questions, contact any of the mods.)"
To clarify: The post on the community OR the post on another journal that you lead people to for the sale of Hetalia-related items and merchandise MUST ONLY HAVE Hetalia items. We allow you to post your other sales in a link in the guidelines/rules, but that post must not be the main post.
(The only exception to this are group auctions in which there are some non-Hetalia items thrown into the lot. Just as long as the majority of items are Hetalia-related, then it is fine to run the GA.)
Now, if there are any sort of issues with the rule itself, I invite you to talk about it here. We don't know if any of the rules are unfair unless people bring up their issues! If enough people disagree or simply want an exception if the post is mostly Hetalia, then I'll consider starting up a poll. If your argument is reasonable and polite, we'll reconsider the rule.
But if there are no issues or debates over this rule, I'll have to start deleting posts of repeat offenders. I'll give a warning first, of course, but afterward I'll have to start enforcing the rule. Now, I won't do this so long as there are issues. Once those are resolved though, I expect everyone to be in agreement with this rule or the new rule we may come up with.
Thank you!
