Update: Etsy has shut down my Etsy account (ClosedThreads2). Without explanation because they think I'm a sock puppet.
Etsyhacks, watch out. You may be next. :(

I guess some people just can't take advice. I wasn't bashing Admin... just trying to give them a few pointers to use in the New Year. ;)

that's a bitch move, santa.
December 31, 2008 at 2:23:00 PM ESTthey can hand out critiques left and right to shops, but they can't take it them selves.
even when it is not even directed at them directly, but just a general article.
it's not even a sock puppet. it's WHO YOU ARE!
WTF?
Stella needs to go...far far away.
December 31, 2008 at 2:26:00 PM ESTEr, well, was it a sock puppet account or opened just to post a complain-y thread? I guess they closed your account now so I can't tell. I mean, I'm all about criticism, but I like the kind that works with the rules the best. Its all the more delicious.
December 31, 2008 at 2:59:00 PM ESTOkay, sometimes when the rules are really stupid or really arbitarily applied, I don't mend the bending of them.
KPP: No, it was not "a sock puppet account or opened just to post a complain-y thread" as you put it.
December 31, 2008 at 3:03:00 PM EST"Just be yourself"
December 31, 2008 at 3:12:00 PM ESTHa fucking ha!
Or if that fails you can always impersonate others, why don't you ask some former colleagues about that, Stella?
Ah ha. I should have used my google-fu to find your cached profile the first time instead of being all suspicious. I apologise.
December 31, 2008 at 3:16:00 PM ESTI love that they decided to close your account even though you have postive feedback--what sort of sock puppet would use their account to actually buy stuff (and for real, not just to hose over other shops). Oye.
hmmm Etsy can dish it but when it comes to eating it they wrap it inside a napkin.
December 31, 2008 at 6:12:00 PM ESTexcellent advice you posted.
LOL @ Google-fu
December 31, 2008 at 7:13:00 PM ESTclosedthreads been around a while, and has participated in the forum before.
i think Lauren just assumed it was a sock puppet without doing the proper research.
and you know what they say about assuming....
wow, Stella is a bitch.
January 1, 2009 at 7:55:00 AM ESTStella seems confused about what a sock puppet is.
January 1, 2009 at 9:30:00 AM ESTAnd she can get right snippy at times, eh?
Jeez Louise - Guess Stella was in too much of a hurry to party - or had partied too much, or just generally just has her head up her ass - What 'real' sock puppet survives long enough to get positive feedback.
January 1, 2009 at 12:08:00 PM ESTFollowing rules is nice and blah blah blah! But Etsy doesn't even follow their own rules, including assface Stella!
January 2, 2009 at 2:21:00 AM ESTSaying Stella is a bitch is being WAY to kind!
One of my first experiences on the Etsy forums was attempting to engage in a thoughtful debate with someone, only to have Stella come and tell us to 'stop bickering' as she closed the thread. It was highly mature insightful of her, and I've since appreciated her thoughtfulness frequently.
