I emailed this link to Richard Laiche over the weekend - there are several violations similar to this one on cafemom.com....

PAMPERED CHEF (R) - CafeMom

Anyway, Richard thanked me and sent me an email that he is no longer our contact for matters like this. From now on, email violations that you find to:

[email protected]

Evidently it is getting so bad that have a complete department just for this. Stinks for us trying to do our job the honest way! Feel free to go to cafemom & report away! If you do a search on 'pampered chef' you'd be amazed at what comes up. I was bored Saturday night. Richard said this site was a new one to them.

The Hitchhiker's Guide has just been updated. Thanks for the headsup!
 
what to doI was wondering - if I happened to come across someone who has violated policy - what do I do? - Do I contact THAT consultant FIRST? OR Just go ahead a report them? What does everyone else do?

Go to the Hitchhiker's Guide KG posted...most of us recommend just reporting them to HO. Many can get pretty snippy even though you are trying to help them and some downright rude and threatening. No one deserves that!
 
DO NOT CONFRONT THEM.It's not your place to do so, it is a waste of your time and energy, and it will do nothing more than turn that person into your enemy.Just copy the URL and send it to TPC - they have a full time staff that takes care of these things.

That's happened right here on C S and not that long ago, either.
 
crabbyJanet - I agree (now that I think about it) - people would get upset about me confronting them.

Thanks for letting me know. :)
 
Exactly 6 weeks ago, matter of fact. :rolleyes: (ask me how I know...)
 
I don't think we need to ask, do we?
 
Oh please let's not go there! I think we all know (and some from personal experience) that many of these violators can become particularly nasty and a bit scarry!

So like others have said if you see something that really bothers you please forward it on to HO. It is their job to deal with these nutcases... oh ummm I mean people... yeah that's it....

At least one of those self-righteous demagogues has pretty much gone away but the other one shows up once and awhile.

Sad thing is that isn't the first time that person not only threatened someone but publically tried to hurt their reputation...and who knows, probably not the last with a temper like that...

Sad thing is they take their anger out on who they ASSUME to be involved or those trying to help them...that's why we all recommend not dealing with them...

I have contact someone once before but it was only due to their level as a consultant and length of time as a consultant and the violation...my gut told me she didn't know about it and was correct, it was taken care of within hours.

99% of the time I wouldn't contact the person.

Sadly, it is the one that really seems to need anger management.
 
We may be thinking of different people. The one I'm referring to isn't the one who sees the cloud around every silver lining - that one is quite active.

Yeah, we are...the cloud lady shows up much more frequently...the other two are much less frequent...but one still comes in...
 
Okay, we are talking about the same two demagogues who called out a fellow Cheffer for turning her in for I'net violations - as if anyone knew who actually turned her in.The only ones who know are the I'net police at HO and the one who sent the email.
 
Okay, I'm a ditz! What happened 6 weeks ago. Brief synopsis, please.

Someone here violated internet policy.
Someone here got call from HO to correct.
Same someone accused someone here of reporting her.
Other someone came to "her defense"...

Both attacks were uncalled for...
Both are here much less frequently.

'nuff said...

You break the rules, deal with the consequences and don't blame someone you don't know for your screw up!
 
Nevermind! I remember now. The lightbulb in my head just flickered.:balloon:
 
Edited because Janet answered and it's not worth posting twice.
 
Thumbnail:We were discussing this very topic in a thread.Person A was selling TPC on her website and linking from other sites.Person B said that wasn't legal and she should break her links.Person A said Person B should mind her own business.Unknown Person C turned Person A into the I'net police at TPC.Person A got a nasty-gram from TPC about her illegal activites.Person A accused Person B of turning her in. (She was rude, sarcastic and just plain nasty about it all.)At this point, the discussion got very, very heated. Most Cheffers came to the defense of Person B and piled on Person A, telling her, in so many words, to get lost.Meanwhile, Person D, a noob, showed his ignorance of the rules and came to Person A's defense.Someone finally reported this all to Greg and he locked the thread.Person D started to post in other threads like nothing had ever happened. It took him awhile to realize that everyone had him on Ignore and he has pretty much faded away. Person A still posts once and awhile, but most people have her on Ignore, too.How's that?
 
This is like a class where someone rushes on to the platform, steals the instructor's purse, and 50 witnesses provide 50 completely different descriptions of what happened.
 
Nice job KG! :chef:
 
And 1/2 the people never even saw what was happening because they were too busy sleeping to notice until the noise woke them up.
