Technical Problems

Hi

I have become aware of technical problems with emails sent to my personal domain email addresses which are linked to my websites and shops. No emails have been received either redirected through my ISP (my preferred method) or at my personal domain host webmail, for some time.

I have no alternative but to close the email addresses in question and open new ones to take their place. If you have emailed me at any karenskreations email address, or through either of my websites or shops and have not received a reply, I apologise, it is likely your message was not received at all.

Please feel free to write again, you can find the new addresses at my websites or you can use the guestbook... if you don`t wish the entry to be made public just mention this in your message!

Thanks for your understanding

Update & Apology

Hi

I apologise for not having been able to add many new designs to my CafePress shop recently. I am in the middle of driving lessons and other classes, most of my time is taken up either having lessons/classes or revising and practising!. However I have prepared a few new designs which are being added to the shop, the Newsletter will follow shortly but may be a day or two early or late, due to having a lot going on here on May 1st.

In the meantime I am still uploading new greeting cards to my Greeting Card Universe Shop, I have many cards already prepared so it is quicker and easier for me... many more cards still to add soon

The following are just a few samples of over 2000 cards in store!

Karen`s Kreations Gift Shop Newsletter: April 2008

Hi and welcome to the April newsletter.
There are several new merchandise sets added since the last newsletter, mainly in the critters section but a few others too. A quick reminder, the main change is the Waterfalls section has been moved to a new waterfalls specific shop "Cymru Cascades", as the section in itself is huge in volume and popularity, so having it`s own shop will enable me to expand and present it better. The old waterfalls section will still appear in my storefront but by visiting the section it will take you straight to the new shop. I apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused during the period of adjustment.

As mentioned earlier, there are many new critters designs in store, sure to please animal lovers everywhere!.

Facebook Fiasco

Several weeks ago I joined a few Facebook groups of various themes of interest to me. I noticed on one that "There are currently no admins" and a blue link underneath "Become admin". I clicked that link, thinking I would be given the opportunity to offer help, and was amazed to find I was automatically made sole admin of the group. I tried to remove myself from admin and was warned "You are the last admin, removing yourself will cause the group to be deleted", so I left it as it was. I checked all the members and no-one was listed as "admin" "owner" or "creator", so I emailed all members stating I had accidentally become admin, wasn`t sure if that means I own the group or not and don`t know who the original owner is or if they are still in the group. No-one responded. I asked a few friends who own Facebook groups and they all said they think it means the group was open to adoption, and that means I now own it. So I made a few changes and started uploading stuff, hoping it will encourage members to participate too.
Now, over a month later the original owner decides to come back and has been rude, nasty and hostile over what had been a genuine accidental mistake on my part. Instead of just contacting me so I could explain what happened, he has spread word I "Hacked" his group with intent to take over, and has been harrassing and threatening me by site-mail. Now he says he is going to take me to court over it because I "Hi-jacked" his group. This is rubbish but he won`t take my word for it. All I know is if it does go to court then he will be cross summonsed for serious wrongful accusation, harrassment and deformation of character, at the very least! 
He site-mailed me last night and made out I was harrassing him and threatened if I contact him again he will get Facebook to remove me...  I was only trying to explain what happened and he was the one harrasing me!. I wrote back and told him I have no intention of carrying on with this nonsense and it is him who should stop writing to me. Then I reported him to Facebook for harrassment. Now today one of his members has also started writing abusive site-mails to me too, maybe he has put her all up to it because he can`t contact me anymore... what a childish man!!!
Anyway the warning is please don`t bother "becoming admin" in any groups displaying that notice, it`s not worth the hassle, much better just to create your own group! Sadly none of his members are in my "Facebook Friends" so as I have been blocked from the group I don`t know what is being said, but I know it can`t be nice and is totally untrue and un-neccessary! This is just a friendly warning about what seems to be a glitch in Facebook allowing automatic group adoption for what may not even be abandoned groups!

However, I have heard back from Facebook and I was totally within my rights as group admin to make changes to the group, all material within a group is at the sole responsibility of the admin/s. Furthermore they asked me to tell him I couldn`t have become admin unless either the owner had appointed me, or as in my case, the group was left without admin and there was a blue link inviting people to take over, either way it was his fault the group was left open to adoption! I don`t know if he is proceeding with his threats but he will find I have a far stronger case that he does. If I find my Facebook account gets deleted at his demands then I will make sure I take him down with me!. Plus I will have no hesitation to go to the press and tell how easy it is to make the simple mistake I made within Facebook, become victimised and intimidated by egotistic idiots who think they have a right to do so, and that Facebook appears to favour the trouble makers over the innocent!. I will also go to greater lengths to name him, his group and his website in each and every one of my blogs, groups, websites etc! 

Update...

Facebook have re-confirmed to me that I acted completely within my rights and their terms of use and that my account is in good standing, I will NOT be forced out or have my membership deleted just because this guy wants it

(Thankyou Facebook!)
