Advertising and Sales at MCN

MCN,

     Recently we have added many new moderators as such we have been addressing some long standing policies.  The key policy that this post will address is that of advertising and selling of items on this site.  We have rules in place:  http://www.minifigcustomizationnetwork.com/rules/commerce

Any commerce not directly promoted / approved by MCN is prohibited. Only transactions that take place through the MCN Store (RedBean or Kaminoan) / Services area are allowed. .

Trading / Bartering

MCN does not allow any trading and / or bartering to take place on the site. If persons wish to trade / barter they must do so by some other means than the MCN website. MCN is not and will not be responsible for any transactions between users.

Auctions

A posting of auctions for personal gain on the MCN site is not allowed.  If you have a charity auction (100% Proceeds going to charity), then contact an Admin or Moderator with the information and we will give you permission to post it in an appropriate forum.

As we have many younger members on this site; posting, promoting the sale of, or advertising your wares is not allowed.  This is the same as selling.  You can not post, “these items are for sale.”  As MCN can not address the quality or the reliability of each and every member offering a product it is better that we allow a zero tolerance.  This means no links to ebay, no links to your website where items can be purchased, NO SALES.

The Exception (We all know there is always one)

Customers whose products make a major impact on the customizing community will be listed as excellent quality products on a special links page.  However, MCN does not endorse or promote the sale of these products.

Top Quality Producers:
Little Armory
Robert “Tothiro” Martin
Emily "Recluce" Brownlow
Brick Arms  


MCN was started by RedBean and Kaminoan to promote the hobby, not as a venue to increase sales of any items we might be offering.  As such we are protective in this regard and limit these interactions here on the site.  Our primary focus has always been and will remain the hobby.  Our stores are not designed to make us rich, they are designed to pay for the supplies required to create the items we sell and this site.  As such you all enjoy the limited rewards that our stores produce.  There for we have this policy which is not open for discussion.  If you disagree with this policy you are invited to leave, with our regrets.  If you decide to stay and abide by these rules, please remove all links to ebay or other sale sites by Sunday, June 25th, 2006.
