They say: “The Sweet Shop is a place for everyone to forget their worries and have fun!! Therefore the rules of the group are quite simple, no porn, no buying or selling of drugs, no petty arguments or criticising other members posts (they might not appreciate your tastes either)….although there is a lot of freedom in what music is posted here, please remember the title 'The Psychedelic Sweet Shop' so it would be appreciated if the roots of the group can be maintained. Thank you, and enjoy!”
