Free Professional Help? Not At PartyPop
If you are expecting free professional advise from Party Pop, Read Below.
I am a professional who has posted many ideas on the party Pop message Board. I did not advirtise, but simply reply with ideas. I see many companies still on the message boards who only leave their e-mail addresses in order to advirtise... I spent time to give each message orrigional ideas, I spent a few hours doing this, and now all of my responses have been deleted. Why? I have to say that if someone were to sign in on the message boards expecting some free professional help, would never recieve these servises from your company, simply because you won`t let a professional even leave a message that includes their buisness name. I can understand deleting pure advirtisement, but to delete suggestions, is just plain bad buisness. Of all the people I helped, not one can read my messages now. I just hoped they recieved my Suggestions before you deleted them.
In conclusion, you have no idea what the intentions of the buisness owners are. I have been giving free help to a lady who responded to my suggestion on her wedding for a week now. I enjoy helping people, and I hate to see everyone of my professional ideas deleted. I thought that was why people posted on this board, to get help, preferably professional help. I think you should change your policy and only erase "advirtisements" which leave only their contact info. Companys who post ideas should be given credit by allowing them to post their company name and e-mail.
That way people who come in here can still have the hope of finding some free professional advise.
This should bring you in more buisness as well.
Completely Dissapointed,
Beatty Bee`s Party Planning
P.s. I posted my messages 3 days before they were deleted.

Betty,
I am a bit confused by your meesage, if you want to promote your company on Partypops message board simply register as a vendor then your meesages won`t be taken do? We all have to follow the rules!

That is the point. I am not trying to advirtise. I was responding to other poeples requests for help. Any responce I post is erased, wheter or not I leave my e-mail address. I wrote ideas, such as using a snow runner for a winter wedding, having a outdoor, earthy environment for a "hippy Wedding" and much much more. If you had read the above letter you would have seen that I have spent hours giving ideas to multiple people, expecting nothing in return, only to have my hours of effort erased. They should not be erased just because I am a party Coordinator. I have every right to post ideas, as long as I am not cluttering the page with advirtisements. My ideas are as good as anyone else, and it takes me just as long to think of them, and I hate to see:
1.People who need the help not recieve it
2. My efforts to reach out to them taken in vain.
I grew up in a very poor family, and I have been given a gift of compassion. I get upset when I see a company take away the less fortunate peoples right to a memorable wedding, That is why I spend my time tyring to help them, by posting ideas like everyone else.
I only mean to suggest that Party Pop reconsider their polocies and allow party planning companies to post suggestions that include their name, as long as a suggestion is included. As long as people are getting Free suggestions, what does it matter who it is from?
In case your "confused" about what I mean by suggestions, I mean more than a "contact me" suggestion, I mean a suggestion that is personalized to the origional postee.
I hope this relieves some of your "confusion"

I believe you had responded to my thread asking for suggestions for my Valentine`s day wedding before they were deleted. I still would really appreciate your advice and would love it if you emailed me with suggestions at the_otherway@yahoo.com.
