WHERE DA DIRTY GIRL SPOILERS

I have to go to work soon and I refuse to leave my laptop's side until I see a spoiler! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You not getting it express?

MissJexie, I can understand why Amy feels a bit put out as she has been on the receiving end of some harsh comments by other posters. There are a few fora where off-topic conversation isn't frowned upon (and I quite like that, so long as it takes an interesting turn) so it can feel strange for those not used to it. I think the moderation here is fair and even-handed, but I have been on some boards which have been moderated to the extent that they completely throttle discussion - the old TWOP boards being a good example.

Mine is out for delivery!

Back to Memebox - how are those who have ordered Pumpkin, Anniversary and the three 'heroine' boxes feeling about them? I keep wavering on whether to cancel or not. Pro - I've just spent £300 sorting out travel and a hotel for my mum to come and stay next weekend. Con - they might have THE NEXT BEST THING in them.

I bought anniversary. I keep hoping that they really REALLY won't mess this one up. If they do, there is no saving honestly... I keep hoping it will be their best box ever (which it should be). Watch me be totally crushed once the spoilers get revealed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also, I have no idea what's happening with my Wine and Cheese.

First of all, it got cancelled without me asking for it. I emailed Gwen, and they said they could send me one, and invoiced me through Paypal once they had my response on the points/Innisfree issue.

Since then...nothing. No tracking number, no response to my emails. I want my ******* cheese cream, goddamnit!

I am also waiting for the dirty gal spoilers! I want to see how great it is! 

 

[Jane George]

Lol stalking fanserviced for spoilers now

Y'all, please remember rule number one of our terms of service:

• Be polite and respect the opinions of other members and staff. Blatant mean posts may be removed without warning. If we remove posts, there will be no reason as to why.

Generally, getting slightly off topic in chat threads happens, you'll find it in the Birchbox threads, Ipsy threads, etc.

If it is significantly off topic (goes on for quite a few posts, etc.) and worthy of its own discussion, then please move it to that discussion so as not to disrupt the flow of conversation here.

If we get any more reports of members being rude I will start handing out infractions and deleting posts.

Thanks!  :flowers:

My comment wasn't directed at anyone, no idea what gave that impression and I didn't mean for it to. @@MissJexie said it far better than I did. Sorry. 

Now.....Back to the fun stuff.

Who else has the Dirty Gal and Hair Salon value set coming today?! I'm never the first person to get them, and I need a heads up if I need to lower my expectations. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

We have tried to allow the members to regulate this area since we moderators find it to be a hot mess with so much off topic conversations, scattered conversations and information hard to find. We wanted to be as hands off as possible and we have been however as a result some of the members have taken things way too far with what they're posting towards other members. So from here on out ANY report made to us could result in the person (to be clear, the reported person not the person making the report) losing posting privileges for a month. The person can post but it's going to be moderated which requires one of us to read it and either allow it or not. We've already punished one person for a month and we have no qualms punishing others who have ignored the warnings we've made time and time again.

First of all, JiveBunny, I have to say that the combination of your board name with the picture of Margaret Rutherford cracks me up every time!

Of the boxes you mentioned, I ordered Cleopatra + Empress bundle and am feeling optimistic.  Even if, as some opined, they are re-runs of the Milk and Oriental Medicine boxes respectively, I'd be thrilled because I missed those.  I just hope Cleo isn't too much makeup.  I want skin care and MOAR skin care!

I think the Memedrama has left feelings running high....

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" />

It is very upsetting, I wrote 6 words in reply to someone else as I hate when I post and people ignore me and never reply.  I didn't know about the other thread.  This is very upsetting now tbh.  Also I never had a pop at anyone.

Home for 1 hour only and no spoilers . And no poxy memeboxes have been delivered . Why has DHL sent my dirty girl to Birmingham . Send it back you brummies. All my tracking is shot to funk. No rm parcels either . Tracking even suggested it was attempted delivery at 1.30 am by Royal Mail for my innisfree so didn't happen. And I have some on hold . I feel Xmas is upon us . I can't believe how DHL are doing so many cock ups . My trio apple blackout bundle has been through every European City the past few days

Meeeeee! It's out for delivery, but probably won't arrive until I'm home from work. I'm eager to know whether folks think it's a good box or a bad box, so I too can adjust my expectations accordingly.

For the sake of keeping this tread from devolving back in to drama please drop it. If you are having personal problems with members please PM it to one of the moderators so we can help you or address it without disrupting the thread.

No worries! I'm glad you now know about the other thread, and I hope you join us over there for some kbeauty goodness!

I think this has been talked to death, so let's just keep on trucking along, ladies! No one is in trouble, no one is being singled out- It's our job as moderators to keep the flow of the thread going, and unfortunately in a thread like this, we have to be a bit more strict on off-topic conversations, especially during busy times of the day. When there are 3-4 people online and everyone else is asleep, I tend to be a little more lax when it comes to conversation.

Anyway, I WISH I got Dirty Gal Express, unfortunately I really didn't want hair salon and by the time I had points saved up for Dirty gal, it was only being sold on it's own...so I will have to live vicariously through everyone else until mine putters its way over to me!
