EDCF Craftsman Designation A registered forum member in good standing who individually (no employees) produces goods for resale and does not market or sell his/her creations through retailers may offer his/her products through the Craftsman’s Corner. (If a member does not meet these requirements, he/she may be eligible as a manufacturer.) The cost for Craftsman status: $30 per three months -- just $10/month -- payable via auto-recurring PayPal charge until changed/cancelled. A Craftsman will be identified with a custom title/badge beneath his/her avatar and provided a dedicated sub-forum, Craftsman’s Corner, located in The Marketplace, in which to conduct marketing and selling activities. Only badged Craftsmen and forum staff may initiate and post new threads in the Craftsman’s Corner; regular members may post replies, comments, and questions in such threads. Craftsmen may not initiate threads about their product(s) in other parts of the forum; however, they may post answers to questions appearing in threads outside of the Craftsman’s Corner. Use of shills to create questions or interest is prohibited. Only Craftsmen may reference their product(s) or business in their sig-line, which may include a link to their website or blog. Maximum font size is 4, and link may display as "raw" URL or be embedded in a text string that might be the craftsman business name or the widget(s)' name. It is understood that some members identified as Craftsman might one day be reclassified as a manufacturer if their operation changes. The forum reserves the right to not approve a member's request for Craftsman status. For questions or more information, contact scríbhneoir or xbanker.
