@VioletWillow wow, she should be planning her next strategy, not concerning herself with FB. If she's worried about what's been written (only a minuscule amount in comparison to all the other posts) then that says a great deal about her business.

VioletWillow · 16/09/2020 17:43

Yes exactly. We actually have been trying to ensure all criticism was fair (I am a big fan of transparency myself, too many clients are unhappy about the situation) so the fact that Hustle woman thinks she can sue is laughable. If she thinks we will roll over and do as she says then she misjudged us.

@MabelMoo23

I’ve received the services I’ve paid for, so that’s not an issue and I’ve actually no issue with the services I’ve received, it’s how it’s all suddenly been run and how nasty it’s all turned.

It not how Susie would have previously run the company

That’s how I feel. I got analysed last November and am happy with my analysis and still refer to it).The company seemed to balloon soon afterwards with the addition of stylists. Maybe the company grew too quickly and/or Covid had an impact.

I do wish Susie well and hope she’s okay. She has opened up about her mental health struggles in the past. If she is struggling, maybe that’s why she has made some ill-informed business decisions.

@VioletWillow I'm on the new facebook group and am really enjoying it. It seems to me its going really well and I think the admin have taken a really fair and balanced approach to moderating. I hope it can continue!

I do get really annoyed when I see someone claiming MN have been sharing pics etc but there seems to be plenty of others there to correct them which is good.

Keep up the good work :)

YettaTessieMarmelstein · 16/09/2020 18:12

@VioletWillow Wow.
She may run a marketing business but she doesn’t seem to know anything about public relations.

Howmercurialislife · 16/09/2020 18:22

@VioletWillow the bloody nerve!!

So pleased to hear you blocked her.

I left the group for various reasons but thought it was really well moderated.

VioletWillow · 16/09/2020 18:24

LivingDeadGirlUK well if the moderation goes south you know who to nudge about it! 😃 We don't want the censored echo chamber that we used to have.
YettaTessieMarmelstein (great name) yes she (imo) knows as little about public relations as she does about marketing. If she had been upfront and polite then she might have had a different response. But she is both bombastic, blustering and rude. She can sue me for that if she likes, I don't mind 😃

Why is the new spin off FB group silencing people?

VioletWillow · 16/09/2020 19:15

Geggs how is it silencing people?

Fairykitty yes you probably do know who I am! My posting voice is kinda clear 😃

MabelMoo23 · 16/09/2020 19:22

Wait, what??? Hustle wants to join the spin off group???? With the number of people she’s kicked off and blocked???

More front than Brighton

Huh?
KitNCaboodle · 16/09/2020 19:26

I saw the admin message a wee while ago and thought it must have been SBS. Of course it was the Hustle woman. Her with the unrivalled expertise in how to talk to people.

That was pretty much my viewpoint! I think she's got a bad case of living in a dreamworld. And she's rude to boot.

That's not happening
LoriesGar · 16/09/2020 19:51

She’s got balls, I’ll give her that

TrashPandaTime · 16/09/2020 20:05

I’m glad the new fb group opened the post to comments. It must be hard to run a new group with no set rules where everything is a learning curve, but I think allowing comments was the right decision here.

Yep I agree. This situation needs a ton of sunlight on it.
TrashPandaTime · 16/09/2020 20:15

@VioletWillow It does and you’re doing a good job and letting the sunlight through in what feels like an organic way.

With the recent post and others that mentioned SBS you can sometimes see fb posters realising that not everything was as it seemed which is satisfying to watch!

Geggs · 16/09/2020 20:37

No one is allowed to post about SBS or MSH. The thread about legal action was posted but has not been clear who it is about which will lead to speculation and with comments turned off, no option to discuss it. What’s that called then?

Geggs · 16/09/2020 20:39

Actually just saw that they’ve now opened up for comments, so my previous comment is no longer valid. Though it was at the time.

I think you're mistaken. Comments are on. We don't encourage people slagging off companies who don't have the ability to defend themselves, and it is not a group for that, its a group about fashion. Secondly, it has I think been made clear that Hustle have threatened legal action for defamation. I have said it and the admins on the Fb group have said it. So, in what way are people being silenced?
Geggs · 16/09/2020 20:57

@VioletWillow you missed my second post. At the time of my comment the post wasn’t allowing comments and was also vague. I see that’s now changed. But initially it was basically saying you can only post about x y and z, while being vague and not allowing responses. And it was only obvious here and another site. It wasn’t obvious on the FB group. At the time. Hence my post.
There was obviously a change of heart, and I’m pleased about that. Like I’ve said.
