Oh dear :(

What a shame, it really is.

As you probably know I always check my fellow sellers blogs, Jess’, Cindy’s, Rachy’s and Kez’s, and a couple of others. As well as their blogs I always follow the comments. You’ll notice that I comment too, in fact we comment on each other’s. We’re all friends, we support each other and we offer and receive advice when needed.

So I was very disappointed to see this comment on Rachy’s blog on the 21st Dec.

  1. Michael Says:
    December 21st, 2006 at 5:55 pm I think you have a great ass and I will vote for you as long as you don’t need to register at the forum. Most of the big sellers are not participating apart from pantyparadise, I just see the whole thing as a bit of a circus to be honest with you. Surely awards are not needed to make sales, from reading other blogs and looking at ‘participating’ members of the forum it seems that the results have already been decided in advance. It is like UK auction category, just one nominee, it shows just how seriously or not as the case may be that it is being taken. If you ask me the ones who beg the most will win and what a good job elections are not based on the same basis… One vote per person, not some desperate forum trying to drum up visits… The winners will all have to post links to the panty forum, no wonder they want so many categories, talk about free advertising.

So not only is Michael slagging off other sellers but he is also slagging off Panty Hog. I can only think that Rachy hasn’t seen this comment since the 21st because Michael is not doing her any favours at all. I’d have deleted it!
He then had another pop at ‘other sellers’ this morning on Rachy’s blog.

  1. Michael Says:
    December 26th, 2006 at 11:54 am I have carried on voting for you but I fear it is going to be of no use. I see a very popular panty site has told it’s visitors to vote for a couple of sites who they are chummy with. Personally I do not think other sellers should be allowed to influence the voting like that, it is unfair.

This is completely ridiculous. He clearly hasn’t even read Rachy’s blog where she has asked her readers to vote for another lovely seller - Kez.

It’s left a very nasty taste in my mouth I can tell you. I just can’t understand why this Michael would slag off us other sellers, I for one have been very supportive towards Rachy as a new seller, as has Jess and Cindy. We’ve recommended Rachy as a genuine seller to buyers that we share, we’ve given advice, support, help, everything. Check Rachy’s blog, we’ve lent support to her blog even. Check my blog, I have direct links to her blog, I have links to Rachy’s site on my site.

Rachy has done extremely well since joining Panty Hog with her fresh approach to selling and her youthful exuberance, as her amazing 12 nominations have proved, comments like those left on her blog really aren’t doing her any favours at all.

What a complete shame.

Edited to make it absolutely clear that this blog was not having a pop at Rachy in any way at all. It was criticising ‘Michael’ who unfairly judged Panty Hog and other sellers and by ’supporting’ and ’sticking up’ for her actually made things look very bad for Rachy, on her blog. In other words don’t comment on something that you clearly know nothing about, it can actually cause trouble for your favourite seller.

  1. I noticed those comments as well and didnt know what to make of them. Has rachy left thm on because she agree’s with them?

  2. I have to agree with you Anna, certainly knocked the stuffing out of my holidays :(. Oh well you live and learn eh.

  3. Dave - Rachy will have seen the comment left on the 21st but probably not the one left this morning. I’d rather try and give the benefit of the doubt because we have always been so friendly as sellers before.

    Cindy - I know, I was shocked! This Michael pops up from nowhere and starts slagging us off! I don’t get it.

  4. You, Jess and Cindy look to have helped out, not only Rachy, but a lot of others; and from what I can see Rachy has done well for a new seller to be nominated in so many categories. Those comments on her blog are doing her no good at all. I don’t think she moderates the comments so I’m guessing she doesn’t know about them.

    I’ve been away working abroad on contract, got back a couple of days ago, and go back in a few days time, so I don’t have much time to devote to Panty Hog at the moment .. I can’t use the internet for that abroad while working on contract ;-)

    Good luck in the awards Anna (you have my votes for a few days as Best New Seller) and good luck to Jess and Cindy too .. yeah you ladies get my vote too ;-)

  5. Thanks Leatherz and welcome back!

    Dave, everyone knows what comments come in as they are emailed to you. After everything we did to help her too, Im gutted to be honest.

    But seriously, Micheal’s posts are actually doing more harm than good - he really should get his FACTS straight first and show a little respect to those who got Rachy where she is now!!

  6. Hi Leatherz you silver fox you :D really nice to hear from you, can’t wait until you are back, we’re looking after the Hog for you.

    Rachy’s comments are like mine, unmoderated which means anyone can post whatever they like but you do get a notification email in your inbox for each one. So you can check and see who has said what, allow, edit or delete.

    I used to edit Mike’s for spelling mistakes but gave up ;)

  7. As far as I am aware Rachy hasnt been online since Xmas eve, and wasnt planning on coming back online for a few days more… so she wouldnt have seen the comment by Michael if she hasnt checked her inboxes.

    Xxx Kez xxX

  8. Yeh but she had chance to put the tosser straight though didnt she? But she didnt.

  9. I appreciate that Kez, but Christmas Eve isn’t on the 21st December. :(

  10. Hey, why not all come over and join in with squirting cream on Annas lovely boobs?
    It’ll cheer everyone up.
    Bring your own spoon and maybe a flake ;o)

  11. As you say Anna, Oh Dear indeed. A shame Rachy is away and unable to give her side of the story but as so often in these cases the damage is already done. I hadn’t realised you, Jess and Cindy had assisted Rachy is so many ways, it doesn’t reflect that in her blog at all whereas you lovely young ladies are always thanking each other. Keep up the good work.

  12. i`ve only got one thing to say on this “I used to edit Mike’s for spelling mistakes but gave up” You wait i`ll get you back for that!!!! ;)

    Oh who`s got the cream & can i join in???

    xx

  13. Lol, have a nice Xmas mike?
    And Anna is…go see her blog about her new bras.
    And bring some fudge sauce!

  14. Kez, It wasn`t to bad at all, thanks.
    Seen the blog & commented and will bring the fudge sauce, anyone got any choc sauce?

  15. No but i do have some spoons.

  16. Yikes, I am the Rachy in question and feel I must explain myself.

    To date I have had 314 blog comments, and as you can imagine I do not want 314 emails informing me of comments when it’s hard enough to sort through mails as it is. Therefore my blog is registered to my Yahoo email account - an account I no longer actively use due to receiving a tonne of spam to it, but it allows me to still receive and access mails if necessary. Therefore NO I was NOT aware of this comment and of course I do not agree with it Dave. It was posted on 21st December and most of you know I have not been around much since I posted on 21st December - I have posted only three times since and no posts took more than 5 minutes to write so I could just quickly come online, then scoot off again.

    As for this ‘Michael’, I do not know who he is. I have checked my mails so now have his email address and he is not a previous customer of mine nor someone I have ever spoken to.

    Good for you Anna for pointing this out - I do not like my blog getting such negative attention but it’s good to know then when I am not hear you can attempt to put these people straight. It shows how truly commited to this you are, which is something I love about you.

    Thanks to all of you who gave me the benefit of the doubt here. However I do NOT appreciate being called an ‘ungratful madam’ by Dave, nor a ’spoilt princess’ by Pete - two people I am damn sure I have never spoken to before. Give Anna and Cindy some credit guys, if I was such a bad person then why would these two intelligent women help me out so much and publicly link to me? Cindy has been doing this for years, surely you can trust her judgement??

    I took some time out for Christmas and hadn’t checked my comments for a few days due to family commitments. I am sorry for Michaels comment, however the insults directed at me instead of Michael were unnecessary and unfair.

    Rachy.

  17. Hi Rachy, Thanks for coming on and clearing that nasty business up.

    I think that is a lesson learned for all of us - check all those comments! It’s really weird Rachy but that Michael sounded as though he knew you, as though he was really on your side! Bizarre and worrying isn’t it? I’d keep his emails just in case, you never know, you may have to report him to his provider if he continues. He really really sounded like a buyer of yours, can you block him at all?

    Pete - It can be difficult sometimes when you have lots of emails coming in. My comment emails come straight to my inbox where I delete them and then check my blog and read them here. It takes only a couple of mins but I have been doing this longer than Rachy so I’m used to it. Akismet take s care of all my spam.

    In fact flipping heck Rachy 314 comments in only 4 months on a new blog, that is incredible going, well done you, I counted up mine and I have had only 439 in the last 6 months.

    Hopefully this Michael has read all of these comments and will go away with his tail between his legs.

  18. To be honest I do not wish to have that Micheal guy on my site ever. Rachy, I would like to have his IP number so I can ban him! I don’t need trash like that on my site using up my bandwidth.

    Thats alot of comments girl 314 already!! WOW! I have 359 and that is since January 2006. Well done Rachy! Popular girl :)

  19. Thanks girls :) It was horrible to come back after Christmas and read all this but I’m so glad you were here Anna!

    And ‘Pete’ - it’s Christmas. The one single time since September that I haven’t been here at least three times a day checking mails, comments, orders etc. If you cannot understand how hard it really is for us girls to do this and ‘allow’ me to have a few days (TWO!) rest at Christmas then you are certainly NOT the sort of guy I wish to be associated with anyway!

    Hope you had a lovely Christmas Anna, and Cinds I hope your children had a brilliant time :)
    Rachy
    xx

    PS - Cinds I’ll email you sometime this week with the IP number :) xxx

  20. [...] I came online last night (Boxing Day) to find some very upsetting comments from some evidently ignorant people - ‘Nick’, Pete and Dave, over on Anna’s blog. I am angry at being treated this way. These men have made NO attempt to ever contact me and have certainly never ordered from me, yet they are begrudging me TWO days ‘off’ over Christmas, all because of some comment posted (NOT BY ME) on my blog. This is the first time since September that I have not been here at least three times everyday to keep an eye on things, and I get made to feel like I have done something wrong by taking TWO days out? Therefore because of this, I have now changed my blog settings: [...]

  21. Hey, What’s happened to the season of goodwill. Leave Rachy alone. These were not her comments, and were not endorsed by her. If you had read any of her blog, you would have seen that she is friends with, and appreciates the help of all of the “panty girls”. Den.

  22. Er, to whom is that last comment directed Den?

  23. Well Den, it just goes to show what one little asshole such as “Micheal” can do doesn’t it. Good idea about moderating your comments Rachy, you should see some of the comments I get, some of which could cause a panty pandemonium lol

  24. Hi Anna, My message referred to Dave and Pete I think these were totally unnecessary. Edited

  25. I do agree with you Den, those were near the mark, but in all fairness that Micheal guy who posted twice on Rachy’s blog was extremely nasty about myself, Anna and Jess and actually Panty Hog. It only takes one asshole like that to open Pandora’s box and if I were Rachy I would email him and give him such a bollock for starting something like this, at least we know now what some people think of us eh - we can’t please ‘em all!

  26. Hi Cindy, I’m not in any way defending Michael, just pointing out it was him, not Rachy at fault. The comments against Rachy, were totally unfair,for a young girl, just starting out, and learning the ropes from yourself & Anna.

  27. Very true Den, but she should realise that this is just the first of probably alot more negative comments in general to come, believe me. Myself and Anna are subjected to “asshats” and “trolling” very frequestly (in fact almost daily) because everyone knows us - the more popular you become the more abuse you have to deal with.

    It’s, unfortunately, just the way it is and you gotta stand up for yourself and then let it go. I realise Rachy is upset, its always upsetting but its one of those things you just have to put up with - comes with being in the adult industry. No matter what you do or what you sell, how good you are or how you do it - everyone has their own opinions whether it’t true or not.

    It can be tough but that is exactly what makes you successful when you can come through it smiling and shining!

  28. Methinks Rachy has had everyone’s favourite fishmonger on her blog. He seems to be prepredicting trouble on his own blog. Every now and then he gets traffic withdrawal…. Anyone think that kipper is feeling lonely?

    xxx

  29. Okay, I’ve edited the nasty comments directed at Rachy by a couple of my buyers, I’ve spoken to them both and they were very upset at the comments ‘Michael’ made, and they thought Rachy had allowed.

    They were sticking up for me. I’ve explained what has happened and told them I’ll edit or remove their comments from my blog and to please not do it again without speaking to me first, however much provocation they feel.

    Seriously though Rachy, as unpleasant as it was this is nothing compared to what I had on the saucy blog. I’m very pleased to say that all the nasty stuff said about me has been archived away now but it was there for months for everyone to read.

    People say on the net what they would never dare say to your face, it’s just one of those things unfortunately.

    Welcome to the business!

  30. [...] (Oh, if any of you don’t know about the ‘Anna’s blog stuff, go here to see it, but the badness from certain people has been removed by Anna, but basically ‘Dave’ called me an ‘ungratful madam’, ‘Pete’ suggested I ‘work in McDonalds’ and ‘Nick’ suggested that I do not appreciate the help of Anna and Cindy…all because I neglected to delete a comment on here. Maybe it was their time of the month? *snigger*) [...]

  31. Oh. My. God! *shakes head in disbelief!*
