Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Amy1234]

I really hope this doesn't come off the wrong way (you all know how guilty I am of doing this), but I think we should try to be extra cautious to keep non Memebox discussions in the Korean Skincare thread, especially when none of it relates to Memebox.

There's lots of new people posting (Welcome fellow addicts!) and I really would hate for @@MissJexie to have to keep coming in here and trying to break things up...And I know some posters aren't even aware of the fact that we're not supposed to talk about general skincare stuff in here. 

This thread has blown up in the past couple of weeks (which is sort of ironic considering how dead things are in Memeland) and I really feel like we should try to help monitor ourselves (and guide people over to the Korean Skincare thread).

And selfishly, I just really don't want them to have to break this thread down into separate ones. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You are right of course but it's semi-related to Memebox that because of their rubbish customer service and no boxes that people are starting to look elsewhere.  I'm sure that there are lots of companies that would love be where Memebox are or were, and I'm glad I know of another company now that can help satisfy my craving for kbeauty during this meme drought.

In all fairness, I think we can justify anything Korean skincare related to Memebox. And all of us go through a period of adjustment when we're new to MUT and this thread, since it's definitely not a standard rule to stick to a topic on most forums. 

I really don't make the rules at all, nor do I enforce them. And I'm not directed that at anyone, or what's been said in the past few hours, it really does happen a fair bit, especially lately.

But I really think it's important that we all try to do our part a bit. I don't think any of us want to lose the main Memebox thread. And I think we can all agree that @@MissJexie deserves a break from having to come in here and try to keep reminding us of this.

I really wish they'd release some kind of statement too. I just want to know if there is any reason for me to keep holding on to my points or if I should start taking advantage of whatever sales/value sets appeal to me.

I think it is okay to have a one off statement about something else and then direct people to the appropriate thread/forum to continue posting.

it is when it goes on for pages that it becomes an issue.

Still no spoilers?

I do try to do my bit and I wrote one sentence.  It wasn't even me who brought up wishtrend.

I've had to read about people's kids not wanting to go to bed and not said anything for goodness sake!!

Me too I've got 2 golden tickets to use and hopefully some points for the damaged eyeliner (if they ever respond)

So excited my next best thing in skincare is being delivered today! Not sure how it is arriving faster then my apple mojitio and petite treasures bundle, so much for "express" shipping lol

Yep, that'll be my daughter..wasn't aware that posting was Gestapo style and that you could not actually mention something non-meme related without being lambasted for it...oh well, back to talking about how **** memebox has been recently, lack of boxes, DHL vs UPS... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think @@cfisher s point was just in general lets try to take other kbeauty talk to the other thread. Not occasional comments as we all are guilty of that! Just let's be a little conscious of it as this thread is over 1800 pages long

I am having one of these **** skin days, where every time you spot yourself in the mirror you are like ewww. Ironically I just received my Tea tree box  :lol:   It is definitely not the sexiest or best box I have ever received from membox but I can and will use everything in it.

I have slight irritation on my skin right now (they are not real spots, more like little bumps) and I managed to literally burn half of my face yesterday  :wizard:   I was having a particularly "peely" day and thought that doing a harsh peel (Exfolikate) and then putting a 30% glycolic peel (which I usually love) on my face was the brightest idea ever!

Where have all the dirty gals gone?

Yes well I wasn't aware either....I wrote ONE stupid sentence, not loads of long posts cluttering up the boards!!!  I didn't come on here to get a lecture .  I can't believe I got told off for typing six words.

@cfisher Thanks for having my back, lady! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I sleep at really odd hours so I'm not always on the thread when it as it's busiest!

To some of the new MUT Members that frequent this thread:

The moderators here on MUT are pretty lax when it comes to forum rules, although we stick pretty hard to rules for very specific reasons, so make sure you read them carefully. You can find them in the menu at the top of the page. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The reason why we ask people to stay on topic SO often in this thread, and why we're so strict about it, is because it tends to get off topic VERY quickly. And when that happens in other threads, the conversation is quickly brought back to the thread subject; no harm, no foul. 

However in the MUT thread, there are so many active users who are passionate about kbeauty, that sometimes there will be hundreds of responses that are not remotely on-topic to Memebox.

Why is this a problem?

Because (like many of you) there are people searching for a place to talk about Memebox. If they come to this thread and see us all talking about Wishtrend or Oh Sheet Mask for pages and pages, with barely a mention of Memebox, they are going to go elsewhere to get the information they need, and that's not what helps this site grow.

We have a Kbeauty/Skincare thread. No matter what, there should be absolutely no reason why questions unrelated to Memebox shouldn't go in there. So please. Use the korean beauty/skincare thread. It is there to hold all of your kbeauty needs and questions and there are almost no rules there in regards to topics, as long as it's kbeauty.

A few off-topic statements here and there in a conversational thread is TOTALLY normal, but when someone flat out says "hey let's talk about this other subscription box" or asks a question that is unrelated to Memebox, you can even give them an answer, but you could also be even more helpful for them and direct them to the right thread. Which in this case, will almost always be the Korean Beauty and Skincare Thread:

*wipes brow

I haven't even had my coffee yet, ladies! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Short version of my ranting:

New Members: Don't panic about being off-topic for one or two posts. It's normal during a busy conversation, however please keep in mind that we have a separate thread for kbeauty, and your non-memebox question and discussion should go there. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Long-term Members:

Thanks for always being understanding of my repeated off-topic tirades. They're only really important in fast-moving threads like this, because I want to keep it relevant and as easy to follow as possible for everyone. I know you get it, and thanks for the help when I'm not around <3

I think Meme should make their XO Memebox packaging prettier/cuter. In my opinion, their design is kinda blah. Those products can be of high quality and I will still not be excited, because of the packaging.

Yet instead of saying ok you have a pop at someone else

The whole ..... myself name thing creeps me out tbh.

I think you have to understand that there have been situations where one sentence turns into endless pages of text that derail the thread and make things difficult to moderate and navigate as user.

I truly don't think anyone was trying to lecture you or single you out in any way, as from what I was reading, you weren't the one to even start the off-topic discussion. It's usually a newer member, and I always try to come on and explain why we need to keep it on topic, and where they can go to ask those sorts of questions etc.

I think we all just need to breathe and realize that there are a LOT of personalities in here. Many of us have been active in this thread for a year now! (wowza) Let's all try to be understanding, shake it off, and move on with the conversation. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I agree totally! It looks cheap and I don't like all that I'm blush crap. I know what it is. Lol. I'm a sucker for packaging though.
