Okay so, with Admin's most recent blog about how they are enforcing design rules, I just wanted to post this to let you guys know how my designs will be affected by it.
First and foremost: I am the only person that can give permissions to my designs.
For auctions and gifting shops: Please just mail me and ask if you can use a design. There is a 0.0001% chance that I will say no. I just really would like the credit for my designs! That's really my biggest thing.
For competing shops: Only people on the first page of my friends list can post my designs for 51+ T$ in shops. I will move you to my front page if you ask me to use them in a competing shop and I agree. Otherwise, no.
