Network Policy & Guidelines

• WELCOMING to everyone to join the network and the purpose of the network is to create synergy between art lovers, art makers and artists.  Special attention is given to digital paintings, traditional paintings (pencil, watercolour, oil, mixed media), illustrations and last but not the least – crafts.  Workshops will be arranged to stimulate creativity amongst the members.

• REGISTER: In order to participate in the network or the advertised online Art Class, you will have to register on my Ning site first.

• UPLOADING IMAGES: Due to limitation of network space, you are requested not to upload vacation photos or photos in the main gallery that are out of scope of the network.

• MEMBER SALES & PROMOTIONS: You can sell or promote your artworks and other items in the Sweet Shops group. Weblinks, blogs, and other external links can be featured on your personal page. Please conduct your sales activites only in the Sweet Shops group. Feel free to contact me if you want to put your advertisement on the network.

• Important NOTE: It’s more important to be KIND than RIGHT in this network.  
  
  No insulting, hurtful, mean, vindictive behaviour will be tolerated.
  
  This is our one big rule for this Community.
  
  Kindness is the key to sustained happiness.  Let’s be HumanKind… Being nice. Encouraging and supporting one another. When we disagree, let’s disagree with kindness.  If we are displeased, let’s express our displeasure in the least disturbing way.  
  
  A gentle but a firm reminder!
  
  If a member is reported to us who is acting in a negative manner in this network, that member will be removed from this network.  We have ZERO tolerance for cruelty, may it be verbal, psychological or otherwise.
