How do you respond when someone asks you about PC on your myspace or facebook page? I had someone ask me...on myspace..."Hey I want to have a PC party. Are you up to it?" I said "sure, Feb would be good because the host special is good. I'll send you the info". But then thought I probably violated policy. Should we just say "email me I can't discuss that here"?

This is where I have concerns. It is very awkward to tell people that I can't discuss PC in an area where I regularly chat with them! Last week I had to ask a host to remove info she had posted inviting her friends to a show. Who am I to tell her how she can and can't invite guests!
 
You can private message them on both MS and FB!
 
Did she write "PC" or "Pampered Chef?" If she said "PC" I wouldn't worry about it, because unless another reader knows, they won't know, you know?

As long as you didn't put a link to your PWS, and she doesn't use FB or MS to invite others to the show, all should be fine.

Of course, this is just my opinion, but the policies don't say you can't use abbreviations!

WOW!!! Nice Avatar!! :D
 
I send a private message. I had one person mention a dream she had where her husband broke her stoneware (on purpose) and in her dream she was thinking she needed to call me. I responded on her Wall that we might just have to get together. And then private messaged her the host special for Feb and she booked! The other case was when someone asked about my home business. I told him in a pm that due to policy I couldn't say "outloud".
 
My ED said that the Host can post they are having a Pampered Chef Cooking/Catalog Show on such and such date/time, but CANNOT post the PWS link. They can send that in PMs.
