Changes to the Giveaway

If you haven't entered giveaway #2, you should do so before 9pm EDT tonight!

The change that I am making to the giveaway is this - Etsy Admin are not re-activating my Etsy account. So the winner of the giveaway will "buy" the die pendant of his or her choice from pawandclawdesigns and then paw will send me the invoice. That way you'll also be able to leave her wonderful feedback for her pendant.

And for anyone who is curious as to why my account was closed, here's a copy of the email chain between myself and Abuse:

WHY was my account deactivated?

I am NOT a sock puppet.

Hmmm, not a surprise - I haven't heard back from you within 24 hours.

That is not the account I'm referring to.

Yes, that was the first one I created and you thought it was a sock puppet so it was closed.

This time, ClosedThreads2 was deactivated because once again you think I am a sock puppet.

Do sock puppets normally have positive feedback? I think not. Please re-activate my account.

Dear ClosedThreads,

By Etsy's definition, "ClosedThreads" and "ClosedThreads2" are improper accounts that are not allowed on Etsy.

Please note that our policy stipulates that all accounts associated with sock puppet accounts are subject to review and closure.

Thank you,
Emily

And what is Etsy's definition of a sock puppet?

Should I include other areas of Etsy for this question? I'm sure I could get 5 different answers.
