I might be wrong, but I think we are the only thread where we actually advertise what we do. I haven't see a signature saying I am a Kleeneze rep or a milkman, etc.

I think someone has taken offence and reported it. At the end of the day it IS Martin's site and he can do what he wants.

Always a fine line when moderating a forum but, having said this, MSE is purportedly unmoderated.....

And, whilst we're at it.... guess whose signature refers to Sainsbury's, Iceland and E-Bay? :rotfl:

(What was that about not advertising?)

They do allow the Avon thread provided there is no advertising, buying or selling on the thread or via private message and I suggest you read the Forum Rules about recruiting as well.

I suggest you take this up with forumteam@ moneysavingexpert.com rather than argue the point on the thread as they are the people who can answer your questions.

Thanks, EL, but that's exactly my point..... I have emailed twice now and so far only got a 'pat acknowledgement' to the effect that they rarely respond to queries..... Sorry, don't want to be difficult (and MSE is my favourite forum) BUT - hardly purports professionalism!

lol.....:p but I am not advertising that I work at Sainsbury's, Iceland or ebay....lol or the company that we must not talk about.... :rotfl:

MSE is not moderated. They don't have moderators, just Board Guides and the MSE Forum Team.

Hmmmm.... Noo idea what the difference is between a Board Guide and a Moderator/Admin member but guess it's really not important in the scheme of things.

Soooo.... laterally thinking, it would be Ok to have a signature of 'I Avon' and/or 'Avon Rocks' or 'Avon Supporters/Lovers'

Sorry, am being naughty now..... am off to bed. Nt nt everyone.

lol MC. Love you, you are so pedantic.

there is a big difference between moderators and BG. Am sure someone will come along and tell you, otherwise I can find some interesting reading in the MSE Rules....:p

I applied through the website, which in itself took ages! as it took a couple of weeks before i received a call, she then said id gety another call to arrange when they could come and see me, i was still waiting 2 weeks later so called and complained! was told id be passed to someone else and got a call, but then the original SL that called me called again and arranged an appointment, took about 6 weeks in all! then there were emails back and forth between myself SL and ASM regarding setting up territory! as SL couldnt do it!

Good feedback CJD; just wondering, did you apply via Avon's website and/or sign up direct with your (now invisible) SL?

Just got a letter this morning from Avon - congratulating me 'on achieving five years loyal service with Avon'. Nice to be noticed but a little something to pamper myself with would have been good!

I never go on connects. The few times I went on it gave me a headache. Far too busy, bad web design.

As far as I remember, if reps are posting in the reps area, customers cannot see the posts. If they post in the customer area they can.

There was nothing for Reps before connects, there was a forum for Sales Leaders.

This was the part of it I didn't like, when I was signed in as a customer I could see all sorts of stuff posted by reps that would really put me off if I was a customer.

And when I have been signed on as me (a rep) it's never been clear which is the customer area and which is the rep area, although maybe I was missing something?
