Guidelines to Obtaining Site Certification

As Artists, Readers and/or Healers

Readers

First and foremost we want all of our Mediums, Healers and Artists to treat their sitters and other chat room guests kindly and with humility.  Most of us have been around the net and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed that there is nothing more off putting than a Reader with an ego problem.   Enlarged egos will not be tolerated at Spirit Talks.  Most of the problems with courtesy toward guests occur when the reader believes themselves to be above the guests, special in some way, and not to be bothered with the those they consider to be beneath them.  This is the biggest and best way to keep from being certified at Spirit Talks or to lose your certification, as it's the pet peeve of the owner of the joint.  We all tend to get slightly egotistical on occasion, and should a reader on our site fall into that, there will be gentle counseling to help remind him or her of our goal of humility long before any certification trouble occurs.

Next, on the Spiritualism and Mediumship page on our site we have C.E.R.T. guidelines that we'd like all of our mediums to use as the basis for their readings. 

Third, we ask that you spend a decent amount of time in Spirit Talks' chat room.  While we're newly re-launched we understand that the chat room is frequently empty, but that's when we need you there the most.  We ask that you strive for at least 10 hours a week.  You'll be on the honor system for this, as we're not going to ask you for an accounting of your time. 

Finally, we ask all potential readers to fill out an application here and, following the C.E.R.T guidelines and the courtesy rules, give a reading to one of the staff members in the presence of a second staff member.  If you wish to be certified as both a psychic and a medium then we ask that you do a reading of both.

This should give us enough to decide whether your reading skills are advanced enough to qualify to be certified by Spirit Talks.  At the time of qualification you'll be on a sort of probation for one month.  During this time we'll observe your readings, you ability to get along with others in the chat, your frequency in the chat room, and your continued reading proficiency.  Unlike other sites, we won't designate you any differently while you're in your trial period.  You'll be given the full Readership designation in the chat room.  We truly don't expect many to be unable to make it through this period without keeping their certification.

Psychic Artisans

The only other requirement is that you offer a staff member a creation of your art work created within your psychic or mediumship talent.
