Just a few guidelines to keep in mind when requesting a siggy.

1. Please make your siggy request in one of the "sticky" threads/posts for either a siggy maker or where it says "request signature"

2. If you are wanting a siggy from a certain siggy maker please post in that siggy maker's thread

3. Please only request a siggy for yourself. The siggies are made for Cafe Mom members ONLY. If you have a friend that wants a siggy and she's a member of Cafe Mom please have her join our group.

4. You are free to use your siggies on any other message/forum board/group that you belong to but we will only honor request from CafeMom members that make their own request. We will NOT do siggy's, links, banners, etc for any business.

5. When requesting your siggy please include any photo(s) you 'd like to have included. If you want just your name please indicate that. Indicate if you want "glitter/sparkles", any colors, characters, etc. Anything you can think of. We will do our best to make your siggy exactly how you are wanting it.

6. When you pick up your siggy take a moment to thank that siggy maker who made it for you. We are all volunteers here and a small thank you is greatly appreciated.

7. Do NOT send a siggy request to a siggy makers in box unless that siggy maker has specifically stated they will take requests in their in box.

8. Please be patient while awaiting your siggy. REMEMBER ALL siggy makers are offering to do this for you as a VOLUNTEER! We do have lives outside of CafeMom and sometimes we get flooded w/ requests and we do go in order that they were received.

9. Please do not make more than ONE request per month from the date of your last siggy.(This is the date that your siggy was completed, not the date that you made your request.) NOT PER MAKER. Gladly accept the signature that someone made you, use it and then feel free to come back and request from another maker next month.

10. If you make a siggy request any where in the group other than in the siggy makers thread it WILL be deleted (this is effective: 9/11/07)

11. Please keep in mind that we are NOT a teaching group.....Please don't ask us to teach you how to make siggies. We do NOT teach how to make siggies or anything else that would require us teaching. These type of posts will be deleted. There are many programs out there and many tutorials out there. If we try to teach everyone that asks then we won't have time to make signatures.

12. ** effective immediately: Due to previous incidents it will be left to the siggy makers personal discretion if your siggy will be made(Things such as rules not followed, being disrespectful to a siggy maker, etc can have this affect..)

13. DO NOT SPAM our group with anything as it will be deleted and you will be removed..

14. If you disrespect our Admins. and/or Siggy Makers you will be removed from the group WITHOUT WARNING and no questions asked.

15. Do NOT post photos of your children, family, etc. in the photos section of this group. The photos section is for completed signatures by our siggy makers only.

16. Due to Copy right laws, we cannot use photos that have a copyright stamp on them or any from the following list: COPYRIGHT

17. Please read your siggymakers personal guidelines.

18. We reserve the right to change, modify or make null any of guidelines at any time.

Lastly....PLEASE make sure in your post for requesting a siggy that ALL information is correct and verify the spelling(s). This will make siggy making so much easier for all of the siggy makers.
