We need an official ruling from the judges on the de-listing contest. I could sure use the coin, and the soap. BTW, soap girl did get to wish me well before the delete-fest.

Double shot for KaRayn Thefinger

I would like it in yearly installment of $.03 per year. Otherwise I'm afraid that it would shoot me into a higher tax bracket. I accept Paypal, Visa, MC, Discover, Cash, and tires with good tread.

In another dynamic move, Karen bumped the board posting rules back to the top. HeShe didn't bother changing the date. You really ruffled a few feathers ;D

Hello Members,

At this time and after some internal discussion, I would like to post a Board Participation Policy clarification, effective immediately.

I think there has been some confusion about what is and what is not allowed, and a failure overall to understand exactly how different our board is from eBay and other independent communities.

The first thing that should be read in support of this clarification is the current policy:

Board Participation Policy

The specific points for clarification are as follows:

1. Posts which are designed or appear designed to inflame or incite will no longer be tolerated, at the sole discretion of staff. Clarification of existing policy.

2. Posts which are outside of the "help and support" nature of the board will no longer be tolerated, at the sole discretion of staff. Clarification of existing policy.

3. Posts where members air personal issues with staff publicly will no longer be tolerated, at the sole discretion of staff. Clarification of existing policy.

4. Posts which "ridicule" other members or Wagglepop stated policy will no longer be tolerated, at the sole discretion of staff. Clarification of existing policy.

5. Issues with Wagglepop policy of an extreme nature should be sent direct to Customer Care. Public misbehavior or rudeness will no longer be tolerated. Clarification of existing policy.

6. Specific timetables concerning marketing will no longer be discussed by any staff member publicly on the boards in response to questions about marketing timetables. Clarification of existing Information policy.

7. Posts that are not constructive, courteous, and productive will no longer be tolerated. Clarification of existing policy.

8. Posts about closure, impending closure, considering closure, or discussion of closure are allowed only in the "Farewell and Well Wishes" forum. Posts about such in any other forum will no longer be tolerated. New policy.

Additional clarifications:

1. Posts that violate the existing Board Participation Policy and clarification points #1-8 above will be removed from the board, at the sole discretion of staff.

2. Zero Tolerance Policy. Members who violate the existing Board Participation Policy will be immediately sanctioned by either board restriction, suspension, or termination.

Notes:

Let it be known here and now that these boards are for members to help and support each other, and staff.

The kind of egregious nonsense that's allowed on most community boards is not allowed here.

Karen - WP Customer Care
Christine - WP Customer Care
Andrew - WP Customer Care / Director of Marketing & Development

How dare you start that egregious nonsense Iwant?

Ray you are a boinktard Thefinger

I am leaving WP today. After de-listing all of my 923 items, it feels like a large burden has been lifted. I have nothing personal against any of the sellers here, in fact, I wish you all the best of luck. You will need it if you stay here.
Too many things donÂt add up. The advertising fiasco is near the top of the list. When there were 900+ stores, we were told of a $75,000 advertising budget (Âand weÂre going to spend every penny of itÂ), but not how it was going to be spent. No problem, but in fact there was very little spent. The Âsix monthÂ campaign was visible for just a couple of days. Site traffic is WAY down. Number of ACTUAL sellers is way down. This is not a Âbump in the roadÂ.
Board censorship is a MAJOR issue. Whenever one of the sellers asked a legitimate business question, or disagrees with views of ownership, the Delete key isnÂt far behind.
There has not been a new issue of the newsletter in months (since January). Sales are WAY down. Can you see the trend here?
I leave you with this bit of advice: Get your own website, and install a shopping cart (or have someone do it for you). ItÂs money well spent, and costs about the same as a basic WP store. Plus, YOU get to be the boss.

It will not be easy, but then nothing worth having ever is.
It's up to you.
