All DISers Please check out post #7....particularly if new here!!

[RustManFan]

I have noticed many new people on the forum. First of all, welcome!!

Then I want to point out a few things....

Please review the Meet the DISigners and How to Stickys at the top of the forum. They are there to provide guidance. If you know which DISigners do what it will help you go take a look at work by the right person!

Second, the Search and particularly the Advanced Search do work. I have found most of what you are starting threads for there! Please try it out.

And last but not least, please take some time to check out the DISigners threads and our Photobucket (or whatever) for things we have done.

You are asking us to use our time and talents to help with a trip or event. Help us please by recognizing that and not seeming to be too busy to bother.

The tools are provided.....even a newbie can do it!!

and do NOT PM a request to a DISigner that clearly indicates in their rules, and/or Meet the DISigners profile or even in their signature that PM requests are not permitted.

I personally ignore all such PMs

 

[RustManFan]

please remember that most DISigners do NOT want anything they have created to be linked to Pinterest....and will be most annoyed if you do so

 

[RustManFan]

I, as one DISigner, will no longer response to vague requests. It is not up to me to have to ask for details....style, color, characters, dates, names, etc.

 

[RustManFan]

Please remember that DISigners do this for free and we have our own families, jobs, vacations and holiday preparation to take into account.

If you ask for something as a rush or do not provide sufficient detail, you may not have your request filled.

Also do not expect us to do a DISign with additional names if we have completed the initial DISign as you requested. Change a date? You maybe out of luck if we are too busy. Add people to your vacation plans? Again, we are sorry if revisions to completed requests are impossible to get to...

 

[RustManFan]

People continue to post requests to a thread where the original request has been successfully filled....this is inappropriate as specified in the Creative Boards Welcome sticky. (in red text there)

Subsequent requests must be posted for the specific DISigner.

Everytime I see a DISer thread where the requests have been completed, I will close the DISer thread.

Again, subsequent requests must be posted for the specific DISigner. The links to DISigner's threads can generally be found in the Meet the DISigners sticky...

and since DISigners stay very busy fulfilling requests, their DISign threads are most often found on the first page of the forum....

New instruction - January 2014

Please be reasonable in the number of requests that you post to a DISigner at one time. If you are asking for many things it is probably best if you start your own thread so the work can be spread around.

If you definitely want all from a particular person, divide up your requests in priority order.

Are T-shirt DISigns of most importance? Place in a request and do not ask for invitations, stroller tags or autograph covers until first request is filled.

This is just a sample of a priority order obviously!!

Another option would be to ask one DISigner for the t-shirt DISigns, another for name fills and another for stroller tags.....you get the idea!!

New instruction - January 2014

More and more requests are being posted as rushes....remember, we do this on our own time and if your trip is a week away our lives may not match up with your timing.

More and more requests are for departures a few days from request being posted.....these should definitely go in a new thread or the DISigner you ask may miss your deadline....especially as other timely requests might be in line ahead of you.

Thanks for patience and understanding!

Do not post a vague request...

Details of what you are looking for PLEASE!!
