Food For Thought......

Eni posts that Sueduan has been banned from Jewelry lessons for her recently exposed behavior. Forgive me if I don't take anything from JL on face value anymore, so I did a search for SueDuan. Not only is she NOT banned, but her teachers' application including every bit of her personal information is now totally visible to God and Country.

Don't get me wrong, I find Sueduan's behavior reprehensible, but to broadcast her information like this? Wow - Oversight? Hmmmmm Funny that it would show up like this just now. I can't see how this is a glitch, as I was already logged in as myself, BobbiWired - I don't have admin privileges - so why is this visible? I couldn't find mine or anyone's else's information like this (though I didn't search all 30,000 of you; you might want to check that for yourself). Look closely; while I have some information blocked out in this screen shot, it is not blocked out if you look at it yourself. JL says they will never share any of your personal information - this looks like sharing to me.

One last very important point - This was her teacher's application! What this means is, Eni was fully aware she was intending to post Corra's work as a tutorial from the beginning, and she didn't question or discourage that. Respect for copyright, and protecting her community members? Hmmmmmmm

Do you see YOUR work here?

Most of you in the jewelry world are aware of recent events surrounding Corra's Pipa Knot, and the subsequent infringement posted on JL for sale. Only now is Jewelry Lessons Admin looking into the situation by posting a LOCKED thread on JL asking for facts. http://www.jewelrylessons.com/question/we-need-facts

They asked for facts? Okay - pictures speak louder than words.....

Corra's Pipa Knot this woman is teaching........

The translation is hard to read, but she talks about seeing this on the net on a US site before teaching it.

NaturalJewels Indian Bracelet.....


I can't post any more of Tangocats' tutorial - They posted the whole work in the blog - I won't post the link for this either, I think it's worse than awful.

How about Athereal Minx's Octopus?

Eni herself isn't even safe....
Do I really need more?

LuLu.com You're Fired!!!

It's such a shame - I really liked you. Tutorial projects were easy to create - you gave me a really pretty storefront with lots of extras - I had tons of cool projects planned - and Best of all my customers could have instant downloads and/or order a printed copy - all for reasonable creator fees.........
Then you got greedy - you added a surcharge of $1.49 per project if any editing was done to the project. and when I didn't need to edit, YOU put a password on ALL my tutorials behind my back - I didn't find this out until a customer wrote to me telling me they purchased a tutorial and couldn't open it without a password.
The only way to get the password off?? You guessed it - upload a new copy of the pdf's - which of course would count as editing, and bingo - charged $1.49 per project! All attempts at getting real customer service help have gone unanswered. Oh you answered the first time - repeating almost word for word my questions about the passwords but providing no real help with the issue. It has now been a month since these problems started (I've written to you 6 times), and you continue to ignore me.
So? YOU'RE FIRED!!!!! Adios - Farewell - See Ya! I have deleted all my tutorials from your site - or should I say tried to - You put them as retired, which I'm sure you will count as editing, thereby charging me $1.49 for each deletion.
I'm sure there is someone else out there who will treat me better, and have real customer service, that actually cares, and provides the services they promise. Be careful LuLu - if you're treating all your customers this way, I imagine you will get fired a lot!!
BuhBye LuLu
