I have to admit, my comms have been hit and miss lately and I unreservedly apologise to BristolBoy and anyone else affected. I hold my hands up, its a bit shit I know...
I'm getting a lot more enquiries than I was when I first started and am doing this part time, and I hadn't developed a good system for dealing with them at all - I'd read them when I had a spare minute then sit down and reply later as I tend to write long messages (as you may have noticed haha) - but I know there have been at least a couple who didn't get a response. I did post about it on my profile the other day actually but my profile is long enough really and things have been so hectic, I took it down and had been trying to contact people individually...
I'm really sorry, I'm not brand new anymore and should have this sussed - will really try harder! Its always been my policy to offer a discount to anyone if I had to cancel, and recently I extended this to anyone who messaged me and didn't receive a reply within 48hrs or if I had read but not replied to an enquiry. I don't want to get even more embroiled in linking AW and UKP usernames but if BristolBoy and anyone else affected still haven't heard from the end of today (am going to go through all my recent emails, had already started as I will admit you aren't the only one to have this issue) I'd be happy to offer a discount as a gesture of apology.
I really hadn't realised how much time I would have to dedicate to my comms, especially as I don't display a phone number as was a bit wary due to a past harassment issues (long story) - but it clearly hasn't been good enough and I am trying to improve communication as a matter of some urgency.. I think I should probably start with writing shorter messages haha, I know that's another fault of mine!!
I feel in a bit of a weird position now especially with the Quesedilla review situation and entirely understand the issues about me knowing who he is on here. Probably best if people don't mention that they are on UKP if they do want to contact me, and I'm also going to take a little break from posting, partly as its a bit shit if I am finding time to post on here but have missed some email replies but also as I don't want anyone to feel they can't discuss me freely, or that they should defend me, or any of that kind of thing. I came on here to do research initially and stayed because I enjoyed it but I know its not SAAFE and would not want to compromise the integrity of the forum or get in the way of its ethos!
Hope its okay posting this. Bloody written an essay again, so sorry!! If anyone has any other comments or advice I genuinely would gratefully receive it, maybe by PM would be best? I am pretty new still and I do want to get this right!
Thanks for bearing with me haha, I'll get over to AW and try to address the issues raised
