New S/S Product: Hanging Pot Rack?

[lfox1028]

I think this has been blown way out of proportion! There is no need to put people down. I for one, am not immature, but I do think it's fun to guess what the new items will be. It's also fun to hear other consultant's ideas and hopes. It's just FUN! The link was not some secretive message that consultant had. It was posted on CONSULTANTS CORNER! We should feel free to share our thoughts and questions about a promotion our company has POSTED! So, it was done by mistake and has now been pulled from the website, but that wasn't anyone's fault on here...No one was intentionally spoiling secrets for everyone.

Hi all.

I have stayed out of this all day and just watched.

I am the admin assistant on a site remarkably like this one but for flooring.

This has in my opinion gone waaaay to far off topic.

I have a couple of opinions.

!. If a contest or rewards program starts on the first of the month the ones in the contest or program should be notified by the first of the month (at minimum). We just came out of a busy time of year, and HO is not perfect. I do not think that the OP did anything "wrong". If so leave it in the hands of HO. Let them handle it as they see appropriate.

2. and this is again off topic, I think there should be guides and moderators for some of the defined areas of our site.

A guide kinda starts new topics and ideas and keeps things going. All the while fully supporting the 'mission statement'.

A moderator has more power and authority to 'enforce' infractions and delete posts if necessary (seldom), move posts to appropriate topics, close topics, etc.

If that were implemented here, this would not have gotten so far

Just my 2 cents with a little added in for inflation.

We do have a moderator. He just tends to let us settle little "family" disputes amongst ourselves - instead of being Big Brother. This really isn't all that bad - Ha! It's only 30+ posts...that's really nothing at all compared to some I've seen in the past.
By tomorrow evening, everyone will know this stuff anyway, and this will have all blown over. The biggest thing is to know how to move on and still be friends when things aren't so heated.

I have so much I'd like to add to this, but will instead do as my mother always said "if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything at all". I obviously didn't realize this was top secret information, but it's out there now, so just get over it. I'm through.

It's going to be common knowledge today anyway!

Really, I think most of us realized that it was an honest mistake - to my thinking, no harm was done.

 

[DeannaK1022]

Rock the new YEAR!!

Personally, if I were the type of person who wants everything to be a surprise, then I would be avoiding this site for the couple days leading up to things and would tread carefully (not click on threads that might discuss things I want to be surprised about.)

I have no real opinion or complaint as to what people share and when; however, you make a good point here. If when I originally clicked on this thread, I had not clicked the link given in the original post or not continued to read the following responses, I would have no idea what the big surprise was. Yes, the OP stated that she wondered, based on the link, if the rack would be a product, but there again, had I not clicked the link, I would not have really understood what she was even talking about....for all I knew she could have seen a picture of a rack and just assumed that it would be one of products.
In addition, I don't think the OP had any intent on spoiling anything for anyone. I am sure she assumed that since someone else had posted the link in the chatbox and the link took her to CC, where the information was posted, it was fair game to discuss.
If I were all big on having everything be a surprise, I think I would have immediately gotten the idea that clicking on the link in the post would be ruining my surprise and I would have immediately backed out of the thread and not entered it again.

I'm sorry my suggestions to remove the post (once I realized that it was put up early) caused so many to start throwing stones. I assumed that you - like the original poster of the link and myself - didn't realize that it was early and suggested you might want to think about removing it.

Personally I make it a point to not open anything that may be questionable before a big announcement. I, too, don't want to have a big surprise ruined but that's just me. Some people would rather just know and don't enjoy the anticipation. I guess there's something for everybody here. If you don't want to know - don't read it. If you do want to know, then just respect that there are some of us who don't. It's a pretty easy compromise.

And, while the title didn't say spoiler - if you didn't click on the link then all you know is that someone else is simply speculating on new products. Yeah it said "pot rack", but honestly before I opened the link I really thought that maybe she was just trying to figure out what was in another blurred picture. No harm in that if it's what you want to do.

We normally DO know about Recruiting incentives the MONTH before they go into affect, so I wouldn't consider this a big secret, and certainly not worth getting all out of shape.Now- we all know/knew that the TRIPs being announced at the Back to business meetings ARE secret and asked to not be announced until everyone has a chance to hear about it on the 5th. For those who have meetings on the 6th, well, they may hear about it by accident if they even come on to the site.Yes- there are going to always be people who don't operate or have the same values as everyone else. But I personally do not like be lumped in as one of the dishonest, etc. Sometimes you just have to learn when to "walk away" from a thread. There have been times I've stopped logging on to take a break, but the benefits and support have FAR outweighed the pessimism and the negative thoughts, as well as the rare dishonest actions/advice you may see. My integrity is important- both in my business, but in how I handle things on here.To Amy... sorry you got some flack. I wouldn't worry about it. It is what it is. The recruiting promotion is NOT a big deal/top secret. PC posted the info, end of story.

Just FYI

This was announced at the very end of our meeting with very little excitement leading up to it. Basically a "no big deal" thing.

They didn't even announce it at mine!

I don't think it was your post. There was another post with name-calling and insults, and I think that's what got everyone riled up. I know it upset me, but I couldn't find the words to comment on it, so I backed out of the thread.

We all should be able to converse on here open and freely without calling one another names. That's just hurtful.

I was the one to announce it at our meeting and did make a big deal out of it! Guess it depends on who had that part of the training.

And yes this was included in the training so it was a part of the trip reveiling.

I think it was meant to be part of the reveil so that there truly would be "something for everyone". The trip info changes will open up travel opprotunity for many more people and it is a carrot everyone can reach for but there are still those that only want to do one show a month. ANYONE can share the business and recruit so ANYONE can earn that incentive - you just have to ask. Ask enough people and you will find someone who needs this business.

I said that because earlier someone said that they didn't understand the big deal because a recruiting special isn't a part of the trip reveil. Well this one was because it was built into the training and was a way to intice consultants to get out there and recruit!

What I haven't seen in any but ONE post is the fact that this information was originally on CC, this information was not "hacked" or "stolen" or recieved from any illicit means. It was posted, she found it, she commented on it, end of subject.
