Yep, major damage control going on over there. Three pronged attack for sure.

They are so darned quick to quash dissension (or so they think) and sooooooo slow at actually doing anything to address the root problems causing that dissension. I now predict a backlash move of the voices getting louder and more numerous on the other major sites like 2 peas and scs.

Wow, didn't know that they actually never fully rectified that prize situation with Christina Maclaren. I remember when she blogged about it. That's so crazy...

I can't stand Dawn starting the stupid "fun question of the day". Her intention, as well as others ass-lickers, is to make the serious threads disappear.
Somebody said she was put there to help out with cs but I think she has no integrity when she's "covering" all pti's crap and just posts stupid things. Well, after all, she's stupid to keep working for pti.

I am surprised about omath too. I guess if they are banning people, there are a few that I'm still surprised to see.

Random Bitch said...

wow, I had no idea so many people had not received their prizes. So many! You know, throughout all this PTI CS crap I have often thought "why?" and had always come to the conclusion that it was all just ineptness and total lack of business sense and skills. Reading that thread about the prizes and hearing about the anniversary set debacle I no longer think it is just that. I really really think now that they are just effing greedy!! And it makes me so mad for all those people that have cheated and are still being cheated. Shame on you PTI!

Sadly it won't work, but I don't blame her for trying. She is heavily invested with PTI with her collection of designs at the moment.

Actually, I think that mod warning on the SCS thread could well have been directed at the two bitches who were jumping all over the other posters. One of them wrote "mob mentality" and the other really rubbed peoples' noses in it with this nice parting shot: "Now, I will slide off of my little soap box that I just created and watch the fireworks rain down on me. All while using my PTI paper that arrived yesterday" *winky smile*

I don't get to spend a lot of time doing this sort of thing for the forum, and I noticed when connecting to the forum today that I would get a service unavailable about every third time. We had about 27000 members, of which 2000 or so are active users. I was hoping that pruning the forum would speed up the system and decrease the possibility that the SQL database would get totally corrupted and die altogether.

Lola G. » Thu Mar 15, 2012 12:55 pm
Dawn, believe me when I say that any information is appreciated. After waiting three months to use these gift certificates, knowing that there was one problem after another that made it less than likely to have a satisfactory experience, I was encouraged last night when I saw that the issue of using the older GCs had been resolved, only to find out today that, well, really, it's been resolved only a bit of the way.

Much of this never would have happened if the generous family members who purchased these GCs for me had had the option to buy one GC in the amount they wanted. Instead, to get to the total dollar amount desired, the system required the purchase of multiples. Now PTI has had the money for nearly three months, I have nothing to show for it, and every day brings more news that increases a lot of people's concerns that this is a sinking ship that we will watch go down without being given a legitimate opportunity to recoup (make the purchases on unused GCs and use reward points) our investment.

I disagree that this should have been posted with the current wording.
I think that Nichole cares a lot about what is going on. She could lose her business.Unfortunately,she is not a business woman and is at best, 1/3 of a company that really has no clue.
I'm not trying to paint Nichole as a victim because she certainly has shown her fair share of passive/aggressive snark, but, is there anything that she can say at this point? That ship is long gone.

Anonymous said...

^^^ I have to respectfully disagree. After the FB posts, it's obvious that Nichole is a big part of the problem. I would like to protect her and pretend that she is the victim, but after seeing those FB posts I now firmly believe she is also to blame.

Anonymous said...

Dawn's answer-
Lola, they're working on it today, so hopefully that means that they'll have it fixed soon. I don't know much the gift certificates are for, but at least you can use them one at a time, if you absolutely don't want to wait until you can use them all at once. Hopefully it'll be resolved quickly so you don't have to wait at all any more. :sunny:

Unfortunately if she tries to use them one at a time, she may have to pay shipping on each order. What if every gift cert is for $25?

Anonymous said...

I don't think Nicole cares at all. I suspect she feels wronged by it all.

Posting as myself this time! Yep... I've been around here a bit.

I have to say thank you to whichever one of you it was that missed me earlier. Aw shucks - you all thought I was banned? I'm not nearly nasty enough. Actually, for PTI folks that are reading this, I really try NOT to be nasty. This whole situation is pathetic beyond belief. I barely recognize this company anymore.

It's good to hear Becky reassuring us that really their actions of the last couple of years have only uncovered what's been truth for a long time. Bless her heart for standing up.

I just posted to Dawn on the prize thread so I may be joining the ranks of the unwanted. Then I guess I'll just watch them implode from afar.

Here! Here! Girl you know I need to chime in seeing this. While I haven't even bothered to keep up with whats up on "the other side" I have heard its gotten bad from their customers. I'm so proud to say that the SECOND I got mistreated I said SEE YA! It was the best decision I ever made and I don't regret it for a minute. I was threatened that my "success" would be haulted, but that didn't stop me. It was awful to see the quick turn things took when people started getting "big". Suddenly we were suppose to take being mistreated and our hard work went unappreciated and abused (because we did work really hard to promote such a company) . I am however mesmerized by the fact that despite some of the obvious drama and poor customer service, WHY people still put up with everything. That is no way ANYONE should be treated especially customers. I get emails about THEIR customer service for product I had there YEARS ago and sadly can't help with it. I would never treat my designers or customers so poorly and if I did I wouldn't expect them to BOW to me. I am thankful that I too was able to work with you all and meet some amazing cyber friends!

Re: Customer Service Update Email

I've tried to imagine the meeting where one of PTI principals made the sugggestion that the best way to deal with their customer service issues and gain back the confidence and respect of their customers was to delete weeks worth of emails. Who among them had the guts to make that suggestion in the first place. I would have been afraid I'd be carted off in a funny white coat or beaten senseless (oh wait, I'd already be senseless---common senseless, that is). Amazing though that for public consumption all this is a "bump" in the road. Let's see, I'm speeding down a road with lots of warnings that a cliff is coming.

Erin,

Please excuse me for a minute, I am busy trying to extract both feet out of my mouth I guess this is a perfect example of not reading what you write before you hit the submit button plus the fact I don't think my hands could not keep up with the thought process in my head. What I meant to say was that I could not believe that deducting rewards points would have been top of the totem pole for PTI, today of all days. And my priorities were that my money was staying in my pocket this month. The first time in a very long time that I have not ordered from PTI.

I guess I was trying to be snarky, but most certainly not at you, and I apologise sincerely. I too would be upset in your situation and who knows, I might well be later on. I have been unable for most of the day to log into my account so see the state of my rewards

Again, I am sincerely sorry if I upset you.

I don't think Dawn is being fake in her responses. I think she's truly concerned and is doing her best to convey that concern.

She's gained HUGE points with me, actually. I think she's NOT saying a lot of things intentionally - she hasn't excused PTI's actions once. I think she's trying to acknowledge the problems as covertly as she can.

Her responses on the DT inspiration forum were interesting. She hinted at the fact that product is often not sent to the DT in a timely fashion - read again.

That, coupled with the FB comments from former DT members, makes it crystal clear to me that Nichole is as awful to deal with as the other two heads of the snake. I think they thought they could treat people like trash forever & the people would beg for more.

I hear you both.......have to say that I, for one, am glad they're not holding an entire release. There are a lot of people's incomes that would be adversely affected by that.....mine included. And it's ok.....we can disagree on this one.

Joan, thanks for your kind words too....it means a lot.

Thanks for the clarification, 15:10! I love Niki's work and was sad when she left PTI and now WMS... I don't like the other stamp companies she currently works for but her cards are always pretty!

15:12, really? Cold and greedy to leave? After reading the FB messages, I'm seeing the DT reorganizations over the past couple of years in a whole new light. I greatly respect anyone who stands up to an abuser and says, "I'm not going to take it any more". Isn't that exactly what we're all doing when we say we're done purchasing from them?

SERIOUSLY Dawn? Not very smart to say right now! Jeez! Apparently it doesn't matter that PTI is stealing the customers hard earned dollars to put in YOUR pocket!

Anonymous said...

Oops, 15:12. I totally misread your comment. I thought you were saying that the ones who left were greedy. On re-reading, I see that you were talking about the ones who stayed. My apologies.

Anonymous said...

So that means that the DT are poor/husbands have no jobs or what? Either they make a lot of money with each release (and so they don;t want to hold releases) or they are totally under the line of poverty so they desperately need each release...
Maybe Dawn needs to start looking for a new sugar daddy...

Anonymous said...

How utterly sad and pathetic that the DT has to clean up the mess. I'm astounded at how dysfunctional PTI has become. I have absolutely NO business background, but even I'm smart enough to know to treat customers with respect and meet their needs. I just keep coming back to how greedy and unethical this bunch really must be.

Is it my imagination or did they delete a HUGE number of threads from the forum??? There are old, old threads on the first and only page now. talk about cleaning house! Jeesh, is there a rug big enough to sweep this mess under?

Except for the rug part ;)

15:35, are you sure you're logged on? They dumped everyone off at some point today. I'll bet that's all it is. I still see a lot of pages of topics. I'm sure they did delete some things, though.

I saw you post this on SCS. What does it mean?

I guess this was the straw that broke the camels back for former desing team members as well. They are speaking quite honestly and it does NOT paid a pretty picture.

I don't blame Dawn. She has signed a non-compete contract and has a lot of her designs tied up with PTI -probably a years worth of them.

I would be in a state of panic if I were her. From her perspective, she has to have these releases forward. It's not her fault PTI can't get their shit together!

Beating a Dead Horse said...

I will speak for myself when I say this. I have always admired PTI's design team, but now that PTI saw fit to throw them into the lions den. Hard feelings are going to start with them too. Shame on you PTI. On another note......I was sooooo hoping to read why Lauren Meader left. I knew something went down, but Lauren never spoke publicly about it, that I ever saw.

PTI may not be finacially bankrupt but they are most certainly morally bankrupt.

I have an eerie feeling some of the "absent" DT are jumping ship-- i've noticed many of her recent posts are OTHER stamp companies... Ill be sad.

Kind of off topic, but wanted to mention... I ordered from Lili of the Valley (in the UK) on March 10th. Yes, just FIVE days ago, and my order arrived TODAY! Can PTI beat that??? And the INTERNATIONAL shipping charge? $3.50!

Anonymous said...

Yep, got home from work and found out I was banned too.

Yay for Becky and Geny and Nikki for speaking up.

I put money on Lisa Johnson being the next to go.

FYI - I know some of you are curious. There is very little activity going on at Ted's forum today - it might get busier as we get closer to Release Time, though.

There was a thread where people discussed what they were going to buy from PTI this month. That was before this morning's CS email.

Anonymous said...

I don't don't know who that was, but I don't think anybody needs to be reporting back to PTI what they heard their former DT is saying about them. That's just plain stirring shit up, IMHO.

fresh space is up! just in time to sit back and watch the release go off the rails.

First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a
quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Many thanks!

After application the hair is simply dried, either naturally or using a drier.
My hair doesn't always look good when I'm going to attend openings and red carpet events.
When one thinks of fungus, they don't generally associate it with the head or scalp, but the itching, burning scalp, rash or pimples on the scalp could very well be caused by a fungus, requiring antifungal shampoo to provide well needed relief to the symptoms.
