Community Guidelines

feltfox.com is a place for people who love felt crafts, amigurumi, crochet, kids’ crafts, and handmade gifts to learn from each other, ask questions, and share what they’ve made. To keep that space welcoming for everyone — beginners and experienced makers alike — we ask everyone who comments, messages us, or otherwise participates on the site to follow these guidelines. They apply to blog comments, contact form submissions, social media replies tied to our content, and any other interaction you have with feltfox.com.

Respectful Participation

Crafting is personal, and so is sharing your work or asking for help. We expect every comment and message to reflect that. Disagreements about a technique, a pattern, or a project are completely fine — differing opinions are part of any good crafting community. What isn’t fine is turning that disagreement into an attack on a person.

• Be considerate, even when you disagree with a tip, a pattern choice, or another commenter’s opinion.
• Keep feedback constructive — if you spot an error in a tutorial, tell us kindly, ideally through Contact, so we can fix it.
• Assume good intent. Most people commenting are hobbyists sharing genuine experiences, not experts trying to mislead anyone.
• Avoid sarcasm or mockery aimed at someone’s skill level, project photos, or questions. Everyone started as a beginner once.

No Harassment or Hate

We have zero tolerance for harassment, hate speech, threats, or discriminatory language of any kind, whether it targets another commenter, a contributor, or a person outside the community. This includes but isn’t limited to comments based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or age.

• No name-calling, insults, or personal attacks directed at other users or at our writers.
• No content that demeans, threatens, or intimidates anyone.
• No coordinated pile-ons against a single commenter, even if you disagree with what they said.

Comments that cross this line will be removed without notice, and repeat offenders will lose the ability to comment on the site.

No Spam or Deceptive Promotion

We love when readers share their own craft blogs, shops, or social pages when it’s genuinely relevant to a conversation — but comments left purely to drop links, promote unrelated products, or game search rankings will be deleted.

• Do not post repetitive, irrelevant, or mass-copied comments across multiple posts.
• Do not use fake names, impersonate other people or brands, or misrepresent who you are.
• Do not advertise giveaways, MLM schemes, or unrelated services in the comments.
• If you represent a brand or want to propose a partnership, please reach out properly through our Collaboration page instead of posting promotional comments.

Our approach to sponsored content, affiliate links, and partnerships on the site itself is explained in our Affiliate Disclaimer and Disclosure pages, so you know exactly how we handle those relationships ourselves.

Safety and Legality in Craft Discussions

Many of our tutorials, like our amigurumi and crochet patterns, involve small parts, needles, glue, and other materials that require sensible precautions, especially around children. When commenting on projects, please keep safety in mind.

• Do not encourage unsafe practices, such as using small or sharp components in toys intended for very young children without proper safety modifications.
• Do not share instructions for altering products in ways that could create choking hazards, toxic exposure, or fire risks.
• Do not post content that is illegal, infringes on someone else’s copyright, or shares a paid pattern or tutorial without permission from its creator.
• If you’re unsure whether a project is age-appropriate, ask in the comments — our community is generally happy to weigh in, and we’re glad to help too.

Remember that our tutorials and tips are shared for general crafting guidance. For the full context on how we research and present our content, see our Editorial Policy, and for the legal terms covering use of the site, see our Terms of Use.

Personal Information and Privacy

Please avoid posting your own or anyone else’s personal contact details, home address, or other private information in public comments. If you need to reach us directly about an order, a correction, or a personal matter, email us at [email protected] instead of posting it publicly. Details on how we handle data submitted through the site are available in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Moderation Policy

Our team reviews comments periodically rather than instantly, so please be patient if your comment doesn’t appear right away. We reserve the right to edit, hide, or delete any comment that violates these guidelines, and to restrict or block users who repeatedly break the rules. Moderation decisions are made at our discretion, aiming to keep the space useful and pleasant for the whole community, not to silence honest opinions or criticism of our content.

We’re a small team, so we can’t promise a response to every single comment, but we do read them, and genuinely helpful feedback often shapes future posts and updates to older ones.

How to Report a Concern

If you see a comment that breaks these guidelines, or you experience harassment, spam, or anything that feels unsafe on feltfox.com, please let us know. The fastest way is to email us directly at [email protected] with a link to the page and, if possible, a screenshot or a copy of the comment in question. You can also reach our team through the Contact page for anything else related to the site, including questions about our content, corrections, or general feedback.

Thank you for being part of this community. Whether you’re here for a felt ornament tutorial or an amigurumi pattern, we want feltfox.com to stay a friendly, encouraging corner of the internet for makers of every skill level.
