Re: Is this ok???
There's nothing wrong with it except for one thing. All of them are just shout-outs/thanks for recommendations or selling items to her, but this one.
Danyelle a.k.a. "MissJones09"- CD cover for favors - as I've already said to you, the CD's were amazing and they were a hit with the guests; even though us knotties see these all day er'day from other knotties and think they are played out, that's not the case with our guests as long as you can personalize it and make it your own and Lady, you definitely worked your magic with my ideas.
That one sounds like Danyelle is a vendor who created the CD covers for her, and vendors aren't allowed to post on the boards. So your original poster didn't do anything wrong, but if this Danyelle person is a regular on your board, she's basically outed as a vendor now.
Ditto - this is not a good thing. Email Annie and ask her what to do.

I'd be curious to hear what Annie says about this. My thinking is that as long as the knottie never posts about her position as a vendor, it's not an issue. On one of the boards I frequent, there's a vendor who gives advice just like any other knottie. She never mentions being a vendor and no one has taken issue with it in the nearly 4 years I've been on the board.
We allow vendor reviews so obviously there's no issue there and vendors can be brides too. As long as the knottie in question isn't soliciting through the boards or her bio, this should be fine.
But the connection has been made between the Knottie screenname and being a vendor, so the cat's out of the bag. Even if the Knottie doesn't solicit, it's now known that the Knottie is a vendor, which is grounds for banning the account.
PS - You'll need to email Jen since Annie is OOT - you'll see her email address on Annie's OOO message.

That's why I was curious about an official answer. The rules imply that vendors aren't allowed to post about their services or even mention it in passing. (Per this: Wedding professionals involved in a wedding-related enterprise cannot post any information on The Knot message boards, even if offering services free of charge.)
The rules also say, "While we don't allow vendors to post on our message boards, if you are a wedding professional with a question about a post regarding your business; we may, in our sole discretion, post a statement submitted by you, on your behalf. Please email messageboards@theknot.com for more information." which only specifically mentions vendors posting in reference to their business. Nothing specifically says "Engaged vendors cannot be knotties." Every clause about it references certain conduct, even if the wording of the latter statement is "We don't allow vendors to post."
