This was a huge and touchy subject over a year ago. Everyone was reporting everyone under the sun. The guidelines of what we can have are on CC under advertising.
If she keeps this she could be asked to leave PC. (If I'm not mistaken)

If next week it's still there, then send it to HO... when I started here, I had my full pws link in my signature (didn't think that was an issue because this is only for PC consultants and up and didn't really think about it, just copied my email signature and didn't delete because of the audience), someone was wonderfully nice and sent me a PM to let me know I'd violated a policy. She didn't embarrass me and call me out on it publically and I fixed the problem.
This girl may be making the same type of mistake on a much larger scale because she is excited about PC.
I have now sent her an email through her PWS letting her know that there is a problem with her myspace account (and pasted in the appropriate parts of P&P)

Prior to joining PC I verbally asked about doing online stuff exclusively as I co-moderate and belong to several groups with over 1,500 members who freqeuntly feel guilty that I'm not compensated for the work I do for them. I figured this was something that would benefit both of us. After signing up I sat down and read the recipes for success front to back and found out that none of the ways I'd planned on doing PC would work.

They're still there. Just moved behind the blurb about her mom putting things together. When I first went to the site the note about her business on the first page sounded fine to me and I didn't understand why everyone was so alarmed. But then I clicked on the banner over where she talks about the opportunity (again without mentioning PC but words were missing so I thought - get rid of the banner). Well there is the logo and slide show with products. Many of the ones she featured are now discontinued, BTW.dannyzmom said:

But I have to say that I used to be the first one to report people... not so much anymore. I used to feel like it was my duty, but after I know someone who was reported by mistake, seeing what happened, was just not something I wanted to do to someone else. I have also been reported by mistake and it is not fun... you are totally guilty until proven otherwise. And depending who contacts you from HO, you could be a fine line away from losing your business.

googled it and guess what? There is a Susquehanna Alabama. By the way, Susquehanna is not a "town or a city " in PA, it's a township and a school district and it's address would most likely be Harrisburg. It is a river here in Harrisburg PA too. Maybe she's me??? NOT!!!!Of course, I am so kidding.....Also to add here doesn't it seem a little odd that she was updating or changing things as you all were discussing the details of this. Seemed odd to me so I looked to see if anyone named "Carrie" was listed in the Chef Success consultant listing in Alabama and there isn't anyone in Alabama with that first name so either she is using a pseudonym here or on her myspace. I have never been on a myspace site before. I guess I have to crawl out from under my happy rock of life more often but I will say that it was weird to say the least. Incidentally, I found several more interesting things being sold on eBay today that are brand spanking new PC stuff that no one who's retired or inactive could possibly be selling already. IMHO I think there's a greater chance for people to find PC consultants selling ebay stuff inappropriately than there is to catch someone advertising themselves on my space. How did anyone ever find her to begin with? This would be like finding a needle in a haystack of jibberish! Can anyone just put a "myspace" website up?

Janet,
They contacted the person who put out the myspace stuff or contacted HO about her? I don't see it. I must be losing it. Oh and I didn't even bother turning up my sound when I went out to the myspace website. I didn't even think to do that. Thank goodness.
Love the ebay quote.
