Gay/Lesbian E-mail
Sep 26th, 2007, 11:38am
 
Angry I got two e-mails with that title for a new topic. Was that some prank? I think it was. Glad you got it in time. Though, it would have been better if I never got the e-mail in the first place. Angry Shocked Shocked Shocked Angry Hmmmmm Tongue Sad. Wonder if others got that e-mail. It bugs me Sad. Glad we never got to see what the e-mail was about as it never got into the forum as far as I've seen yet.

Hi Patricia,
 
This was actually just a request from a customer for Gay/Lesbian cards.  If they had typed "Gay" or "Lesbian", or even "Gay Lesbian" without the slash they would have found over a hundred cards.  
 
Sorry for the confusion.

i got it but having gotten other card design request emails i knew what it was about.  perhaps the search engine could be tweaked a little to include "forms of subjects" searched that might help.  then the slash would not have been an issue and they could have located the cards they wanted to find.

We have updated our search engine to treat this character as a space, so it won't prevent others from finding cards in the future.

Uhm ... not sure I follow what you are trying to say. Are you suggesting that you have a problem with gay cards?

I think we'd all like to receive less SPAM which this email may have looked like at a glance.

I don't think I could do Gay/Lesbian cards and I tried to open the e-mail and all I got for it was back or not aloud and so I was upset to get an e-mail like this and not able to read the e-mail. There for, I think it's a prank. Would I do Gay/Lesbian cards? Most likely not. Besides all that. Where do you draw the line of what is o.k. and what is not? A gay or lesbian can buy any card they want, it's a free country. I was wondering what kind of card they are asking about that they would want any of the artist to do and all I get is the e-mail and then I go to check it out and it says denied and so I'm thinking it's all a big joke e-mail to stir things up. I'm being long winded again embarrassed lips sealed. Does that help explain my frustration better Sad Angry Shocked Tongue Roll Eyes? I sure hope so and if anyone else did get to read the e-mail I could not get into to read, let me know what it was all about or if it's just some joke.

Patricia,
 
The email that you received was a simply customer's request for "Gay/Lesbian" cards.  It was not a joke or a prank.    
 
We deleted the topic because GCUniverse has plenty of gay and lesbian cards, they just didn't show up because the customer used a forward slash (/), and our search engine did not recognize it.
 
Sorry for the confusion.  
 
Shaun
