So, lately on the forum, there has been this itermittenent outcry from many of the chainmaillers about the number of items in the "chain maille" sub-categories that are mislabeled. Usually they are jewelry made from pre-made chain that gets called chainmaille for some strange reason. Several chainmaille artists got together and decided to do something about the problem. The decision was made to petition admin to change the sub-categories from "chain maille" (two words) to "chainmaille" (one word) in the hope that would stop some people from choosing the wrong tag. Amazingly, admin said yes, if we could get an overwhelming number of chainmaille artists to agree. We convo'd and posted in the forums, and we got about 75% of the chainmaillers on Etsy to post that they would agree to a change, and admin not only agreed, they changed it (YEAH!!). The collective power we held was pretty amazing.
