Thank you for your interest in becoming a designer with Skin Addiction. We are proud to be SL’s premier skin advertising group, in existence for over 10 years with a membership hovering around 9500 active members (every year we clean out inactive members).
Our mission is to provide a consolidated update group for skin designers, mesh body part creators and makeup/body mod creators, to advertise their new releases, sales, promotions and other information. Our aim is to provide the sources for the best skins in SL–those that do not use copied or otherwise illegal sources.

RULES
1. Two notices per week allowed.
2. Chat is not to be used for notices–only “blue screen” notices should be used.
3. Notices need to be about skins, makeups or new mesh body parts. We don’t accept advertisements for shapes, eyes, hair, clothing, etc. There are other groups for that.
4. We won’t accept designers who use “Business in a Box.”
5. If you use templates, they have to be modified enough to be considered original work. We do not discourage the use of templates but they must be only a basis for marketable skin content.
6. You must have the Skin Addiction group joiner prominently displayed in your store.
7. Our group must be displayed in your designated avatar’s profile. In other words, you must show that you belong!
8. Most importantly: if a DMCA has been filed against any of your work, you will be suspended until that DMCA is either resolved via a counterclaim (which you must prove has been filed) or a court action. OR, if you are filing a DMCA against another member of Skin Addiction, please notify Voshie Paine, in order to take the proper steps.
These are the rules regarding members and the chat group: Rules and Mission.
