So, I just found out that a friend who is doing a catalog show posted my website on a message board she belongs to for people to order from her catalog show.......is that wrong? I know it's wrong to link my website...but if it is specifically for her show, can she do that?
 
I think technically she shouldn't do it - Biggest problem is that even after your show on some boards it will still show up

Okay - that's what I was thinking......now I have to try get a hold of her and tell her to remove it! But what if it can't be removed......then what do I do?
 
Let's just take it one step at a time - I just dont' want you to get in trouble like I did. Someone on a networking group posted my website and I didn't know. I panicked when I got an internet violation e-mail from HO. Let her know that she might post your contact info number so your can provide them with info on how to order. The internet policy is a little frustrating to me but I guess the company is tyring to make thing fair to everyone and also protect their good name

Okay - now you are scaring me! I can't get ahold of her right now.....arggghhh!
 
Don't panic - That was not my intention One of the reasons I have asked the internet hunters on here to send a note to the person with the website listing is that some people do not realize that their website is listed.
