Hey girls, since we haven't gotten a single decent answer by now, I feel like the conclusion is pretty obvious. Isn't silence basically just giving the green light? It feels like everything we've pointed out is spot on. It seems like there's some weird motive to mess with our PDF, even though it makes zero sense to try and wreck such a harmless file. But hey, whatever. 🙄
Honestly, I think it’s time for our photos, swatches, and reviews to find a new home on a different Reddit community or somewhere else out there in the vastness of the internet. 😁
If there’s one thing about Estée Lauder that really needs fixing, it’s that whole section for buying and swapping products. It’s turned into this massive, chaotic flea market. Honestly, the worst part? People flipping perfumes they somehow sourced from overseas just to markup the price. Lately, I’ve been getting random PayPal offers with these totally inflated prices, and it’s starting to get on my nerves. 🙄
If it isn't technically possible to restrict selling to just long-time members with a certain post count—you know, like how other online communities run their own marketplaces—then why not just move all this stuff over to Craigslist? Just let it be treated like any other item. I don't see why beauty products should be the exception. Sure, the moderators might have more work cleaning up expired or edited posts, but for the rest of us who want to sell or trade our own stash, we can just make an album and link it in our signatures, like so many other girls already do here.
I feel like I’ve already gone way overboard today talking about this over on the Estée Lauder boards. But looking at what Electricité posted, I honestly don't get how the admins decided the Estée Lauder forum was too messy. It seemed perfectly fine to me; people knew where everything was, and you rarely saw anyone starting those vague, confusing threads. Plus, I'd love an explanation for that word "hermetic." How can a PDF even be "hermetic"? 🤣 Is that just some new buzzword people use when they want to sound smart? Like when politicians started obsessing over being "transparent"? 😁
And regardless, I have to say it here too: it feels like there’s started this weird witch hunt against the women from the Estée Lauder community 😁. First, they opened a thread specifically to attack and mock us over at Chicken Man, then they forced this nonsense topic about someone who hates nail polish, then velvetcanyon92 suddenly resigned as a moderator, and now we’re hit with this PDF change.
I wouldn't mind if they were reorganizing all the different PDFs, but picking our specific PDF to reorganize when it was working perfectly fine? That's just bizarre. 🤷
As for moderators Samantha and Darren, I actually only found out today that they moderate the Estée Lauder boards too. And I’ve been hanging out on Estée Lauder every single day for months, so yeah, that says a lot.
It’s honestly embarrassing that a moderator would even allow a thread like this to exist on her page. It was clearly designed with one goal in mind: to insult the users over on the other subforums. She knew exactly what she was doing, didn't she? She knew it would spark a revolt among the people being targeted, and she just sat there waiting with those bans ready to go instead of shutting it down the second it became obvious where things were headed.
Honestly, if you want to find the real reason behind this sudden crusade against the girls over at the cosmetics and fashion board, you have to look at the moderator herself. Maybe she felt a little stung because her own makeup looks didn't get the standing ovation she was expecting from the community.🙄Even though she claims her ego isn't bruised, everything she’s saying and doing in this thread tells a completely different story.
There really isn't any other way to explain why someone would open and fuel such a trolling thread, unless it's just pure personal vendetta or plain old spite.
