Hello Readers,

It's great having such wonderful experienced people like you on the forum. I must thank you for making this such a lovely forum for the rest of us with your meaningful insight and knowledge.

1) I appreciate your giving readings on the forum.
2) But please do not overload yourself or feel guilty for not being able to cope up with reading requests.
3) We do not want the readers to burn out and refuse to read in the future. Debbie is one fine example of a burn out.
4) This is a place for you to come relax, enjoy, have fun, make friends and have a good laugh. So do exactly that.

We would also request all readers to see the number of "posts" a person requesting a reading has made before giving him/her one. Try to judge his/her contribution to the forum by looking at what he/she has posted.

a) Because most of the people who request, are one timers and will disappear after they get a reading.
b) unlike youself the readers who are giving unselflessly - they are not seen contributing to the forum or in anyways helping this become a better place.
c) If people keep pestering for a readings via PM ask them to post thier request in the appropriate forum. If they do not understand, feel free to ask them to shell out money in form of donation for your time. i hope, that should stop them. (Please note: we do not encourage you to ask for donations in anyway, infact we hate the idea but sometimes nothing else works. Remember we are all here to give and share and learn and enjoy - so till it stays that way there should be no reason for asking for donations)

On the forum we encourage ONLY free readings, as this will allow members to get to know the readers and allow amateurs to practise. But this doesnt mean that readers cannot ask for donation from people for their esteemed services off the site (for the above given reasons). We only ask for free readings on the forum.

We also ask the readers not to chase after or solicite money from members outright. Remember, people wanting a reading is *never* a one time thing. So if they like your style and your accuracy they will come back to you for more. Hence, giving a reading in the open forum will get you new work and will help you get noticed. So trying to give readings in pm or in private does not help you or the forum at large.

The idea is simple: you will reap what you sow. you give to the community and you shall get back. Give a free reading to members. if they like you they will come back for more and they will bring back many other people along with them. We cannot and will not try to control your actions, now it's for you to decide what is best.

Thanks once again.

Very well said Abhishek, my sentiments exactely.
