Question, When you purchase from a vender, due you think they should be able to post all your imformation in an blast email to all the members of a group? Or is this a privacy matter? If you are dissatified with a vendor should you talk about them by name in a forum? What are the rules when it comes to internet?

interesting

thanks , interesting to read what you all had to say on the matter.

I think it terrible for a vendor to maliciously post a persons private information. Yes there are sites that the older designs are not as good as the recent one. I actually had a design with more than 50 jumps. The vendor did not respond to my email that I was dissatified, so I do not go back. Live Laugh Download Stitch.

Are you suggesting that this was malicious or did you not read my post?

You didn't just "post" the info accidentally, you sent it out to your mailing list! I got it!

by CindyRussellKY 24 Jun 2012

This was sent in reply to a member on the group. Not an email list. That is totally false. This was a reply to a member and I accidentally clicked reply to all. I would appreciate your leaving my group. You would not have received anything of the sort through my email list. Be truthful at least.

OK I see who you are. Yes you were banned yesterday for starting trouble with another member. Do you go around to all the forums starting trouble. I checked your order history and looks like you have downloaded over ten free sets. So if you like my work why badmouth me?

Please take this into private e-mails and solve it between yourselves. It does NOT belong in this forum. Thank you.

Checkagain, I have ordered many sets as well. I never started anything, responded to an attack on me on your forum and then that was never posted. I received that e-mail, and was appalled at the personal info. Accidentally or not, it should never have been sent out to anyone. As has been stated before, you are a business person. This is not acceptable behavior for a business person that wants to continue doing business with people on these forums. We are individuals out here trying to have fun and find out more about our hobby/craft. Not stir up trouble. Nothing false about my statement.

been sent out. If you want to be a business person, please keep it professional.

by CindyRussellKY 24 Jun 2012

Then please contact me privately as I have asked you to do several times. I really do not want it on this forum and feel that I have to defend myself. So again, Please contact me privately.

I like to grumble also when dissatisied whith any service. But I would try the polite channels first.
Then keep details to the minimum.
What is displayed in puplic cannot be taken back so easy.
Some complaints can be very cruel and all vendors probably slip up in their service now and again.
Some customers are pretty hard to please too.
Happy Stitching!

Yes customers can be hard. I work hard to help others find orders even if they have been asked to register with my cart to access their history. I was out of town when this all started and was unaware that the person even needed help. Let alone it was due to her computer crash and the order was nearly two years old. Some people need to have patience especially when they are at fault. At least I apologized for my error. I really wish everyone would move on. There is so much more exciting things in the embroidery world than dwelling on this water under the bridge.
Thanks

This was posted accidentally and then immediately removed. Any more questions just ask me. I am the one who accidentally posted the information. Remember everyone. Please back up your files.

that is why I have carbonite! works great - no stress!

I never had anyone e-mail personal information to everyone in a group if I purchased designs from them, but do take time to read their privacy policy. If you join a Yahoo Group, you have to make choices how you will receive mail, and some choose to have every new post on that group come to their e-mail box. If you post on a group and put your personal information in a post like that, it may well go out to hundreds of people. I only buy from places that take PayPal, that way my information doesn't go anywhere, PayPal has it all & doesn't share with vendors.

As for being dissatisfied, I'd make every effort to work it out with the vendor personally. Another good reason to use PayPal, there's some protection there against bad vendors. I would never just post "hey watch out for so and so, they're a bad vendor": first, you may be the only one that had a problem; second, it could be construed as libel. And also, I think it's just rude. Now, if someone ASKED what do you think of the quality of their designs, what about their payment plan, what do you get for your money, etc. I would tell the truth of my experience; I find the designs poor quality, etc. There was an ad popped up from Google couple years ago, someone selling a CD with "thousands of designs" for like $40 or $50, and the question was asked what anyone thought. Well, someone had gotten it, and the designs turned out to have been freebies copied from all kinds of sites. That was wise information to share, because it saved a lot of people grief, and hopefully didn't make any more money for an unscrupulous person. But again, that was a KNOWN FACT, because the person who told had actually downloaded those freebies from a site, and compared them with the ones on the disc, and stitch for stitch they were the same. Lots of things look the same but aren't, many people use the same clipart, don't jump to conclusions. Mostly, solve your own problems with the vendor if you have them, and don't make comments all over the internet that you might regret later. "Rules" for the internet? Good people do good, but otherwise it's total anarchy. Look at all the hacking, theft, viruses--can't catch em, would they prosecute if they could? Anarchy. Be careful. And, as you can plainly see from some of the answers, people do jump to conclusions, often having nothing to do with what you meant to ask. Just the nature of the beast. Hugs, Marji

I think my post will help with your question then.

why would you question if different rules apply on the internet than in life in general
for me it is called morals

I think I saw the post you are referring to, and if it is the one. I would stay out of it and let them settle it between themselves. You do not want to be stirring up more trouble for them or yourself by getting involved or posting such information. Obviously they have an issue they need to resolve, but naming names and publishing information on other sites, true or interpretated is only asking for more trouble. If this is about you and you feel you are wronged than I would take the Appropiate actions to resolve the issue and doing what you are suggesting is not appropriate, AND can get you in alot of legal trouble for slander. My advice let them solve it themselves PRIVATELY!

Sorry if I jumped to any comclusions, but it seems awfully strange that this question comes up right after there was an issue on another site about this exact thing. Hard not to jump to conclusions with that. But my comment stands just the same. Whether this happened to you or someone you know or not.

by sewfrenzie 22 Jun 2012

it happened to you or someone you know or not.

If you are purchasing from a vendor online or in person read their privacy policy. Be careful when you name names on forums. Make sure you are not setting yourself up for a libel lawsuit. Be certain you have exhausted all avenues with the company before you put it out on the internet. Many people find the company FaceBook page and post comment there.

I think I saw the post you are referring to...if this is the one, I do not think it was appropriate that she posted personal details...name, address, etc. I was quite surprised. Seems there was some trouble between them in the past but don't know the details...It's a shame they couldn't work their differences out privately.
