Do you want to be a member of the Fabulously Free in SL group?
Do a search in groups for the group called Fabulously Free in SL. (Use the phrase fabfree; you must also check the box ‘Mature Content’ and it is the only choice). Join this group. It is free to join.
Designers: Send a notecard and/or IM to suicideblonde.scheflo for a designer application if you would like a designer tag to send out gifts. (No BIAB or resellers)
Guidelines for FabFree Group Chat:
1. Group Chat IS allowed. Please be considerate and respectful to the other members. DO NOT gossip! Discriminatory discussions involving racial, sexual, religious, political, vulgar, and argumentative views are disallowed. Take any arguments to private IM. The group is not meant for debates.
2. Do NOT argue or belittle each other. Just because you are experienced in SL does not mean that all members are. Insulting a group member will result in immediate removal from the group.
3. If someone asks for help, please help if you can. Replies such as “Have you tried Search or Marketplace” are not helpful and unacceptable. Many times a search for a vague item will bring up results that are not the best place to find items from legitimate creators.
4. Sometimes group discussions become overwhelming. The small bottom x should close the group chat until you relog. Alternatively, most newer viewers give you the option of not receiving group notices and/or group chat through the viewer’s preferences.
5. Lucky Chairs, Midnight Manias, and Riot Vends (etc) are not allowed in the main group. You can join the FabLucky Group for those. (It is, however, acceptable for designers to mention lucky chairs and midnight manias in their notices!)
6. Most designers do not want hunt locations revealed. We ask group members to respect the designers’ wishes regarding hunts. Find friends to help with hunts and take the tips to private IMs.
7. Do NOT complain about a gift, period! If any member complains in group chat about the “quality” or “quantity” of a item, it will result in immediate removal from the group.
8. Do NOT distribute items! If you want to pass an item, you must be an approved FabFree designer (then the items can be sent through the notices, only!). Distributing items you did not personally make could contribute to content theft and you could find yourself with a DMCA charge. Please, do not support content theft! *The DMCA can give you more information with regard to passing copies of items without permision to do so: http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf
9. FabFree Designers must use notices ONLY to send information about items in their store. Using group chat to self-promote a business is not allowed. Notices reach more members and give all group members opportunity to discover your store. If you do not have a designer tag, please contact SuicideBlonde Scheflo for an application. (No Resellers, Business in a Box stores, or Full Perm Establishments!)
10. Do NOT advertise other freebie blogs in the Fabulously Free in SL group. It is offensive to the writers of the Fabulously Free in SL website and may result in immediate removal from the group. Advertising other blogs is disrespectful to the writers who established FabFree. There are links to other freebie blogs on the Fabulously Free in SL website.
**If a group member is abusing chat privileges, contact one of the Fabfree moderators. It is up to the moderator as to how the situation will be handled. Moderators have the option to disallow chat for an individual or the entire group.

* Help! I can’t seem to get my landmarks to load, if anyone has a House of Heart Landmark, could you please send it to me?

As in real life do not accept ANY items from strangers.))
