❥ Founding Principles

❁ No Begging! The idea here is to use a list of items that you'd like to own as an expression of your identity, and to meet and learn about others in the same way. Sometimes, we may feel the desire to make someone's idle daydreams come true with a gift, but it shouldn't be expected, and must not be demanded.

❁ No Spam! Likewise, many of us have our own outlets of creativity - a store on Etsy. Just like a wishlist, one's store can be an expression of who they are and what they're about, and we might just find something among your wares we'd love to buy, for ourselves or another, but we're not a free ad board. If you only want to promote your store, try /r/Etsy.

❁ Be Excellent to Eachother! Be respectful and considerate. Don't harass or abuse one another. Trolls will be terminated on sight.
