Merchant Tags:
-
Merchants are given a special tag in Furget-Me-Not that grants the ability to send notices through the group and moderate the group when needed! This means that merchants have the power and responsibility in the group to help US make F-M-N the best it can be. We expect you to act responsibly and professionally with these abilities. For this reason we have written some rules for the merchant tag below.
-
We permit merchants to post up to a maximum of FOUR (4) advertisement notices in any consecutive fourteen (14) day period stating your sales, new items, or other advertisements. We request that notices be limited to only ONE (1) notice in any 24 hour period. We also ask that store owners NOT post their notices or other advertisements to the group chat. Doing this helps keep the hunt chat clutter-free so that you everyone can find important messages and customers can ask questions when needed.
-
If you have A LOT of info you want to share, attach a notecard to your notice! If you need advice on writing up a good notecard, ask.
-
PLEASE keep the spam to just your store or friends’ businesses that are WITHIN the hunt. Please be fair to the rest of the store owners, and obey this rule.
-
PLEASE refrain from specifically naming OTHER hunts or events within the chat or notices (either in the title or body). We provide you with notice rights to help promote YOU to our group members and other store merchants, NOT to promote other hunts or hunt groups and events. If you wish to mention that you are participating in other hunts or events, we ask that you please mention them in a generalized way (IE: “Come search for my other hunt objects!”). You may then put the specifics (including hunt names if you wish) in a notecard and attach it to your notice.
-
If a member misbehaves in the group (talking down about a store, a prize, or a member of hunt staff), please be an adult and handle it maturely. Give them THREE (3) warnings (these three warnings CAN be from three different store owners), and then you have permission to eject them from the group. Please make a copy of the conversation, notecard it, and give it to Jasmine. This is important as it is the only way to prove your actions were justified.
-
Treat others as you would like to be treated. This is an international politeness rule. We are INTERNATIONAL, so if you have a question about if something will be taken badly, come to us and ask. We will tell you which direction to go in a conversation, or if someone was being rude (We are fairly well-versed in cross-cultural conversations).
-
If for ANY reason you need to leave the event, need more time, kill a hunter, ANYTHING… let us know, PLEASE. We know it’s a bit of a nuisance to let us know as soon as you know yourself, but we REALLY need to know, because if customers are expecting you there and can't find you they may get antsy
-
STAY IN COMMUNICATION WITH US! If you have an issue, come to us. If you are having RL issues (physical, mental, familial) PLEASE come talk to us. Remember that even though we are business associates, there is a RL heart behind each of us.
-
Remember to have fun above all. We don’t ask much of you all, but if we have to correct you too many times, we CAN and WILL remove your store merchant tag, and we may even remove you from the event entirely. We will do everything in our power to make this event run smoothly/ Although we HATE being hard on anyone, we will do so to protect our events.

Applying to the event means agreeing to follow all the rules listed the entire time you are in the group as a merchant or applicant. All merchants must follow these rules whether during a round of the event or between rounds of the events.
Please note that there may arise unforeseen substantial issues that hinder the events, members, or merchants and which may call for augmentation of the rules. If this occurs the rules as written in the current round of the event as of the application deadline of the event will remain in full effect unless the issue is of substantial enough concern to warrant an immediate change. In the case, an issue necessitates an immediate change we will attempt to notify merchants by any means possible as well as through posts on the home page of this site. Any new rules or modifications that are immediately required will go into effect no less than 48 hours after such blog post has been published to allow all parties time to comply with the modification of the rules.
