After informing Vimeo that Sarah Scruggs was violating their policy (click here for earlier post) it now seems that her profile is gone. Was her account a proxy for her employer ARDA (the American Resort Development Association)? We'll never know. But given her role their as Communications Manager, you could expect they had a hand in it.
Per Vimeo Community Guidelines
1. Vimeo is for personal use
- these videos were timeshare industry noise
2. Vimeo is for videos you create yourself
- these were professional marketing creations
3. Users uploading professional content should indicate their role
- she didn't
4. No commercial videos
- this is an industry group selling their benefits through videos
5. Businesses may not promote themselves
- felt like it to me
If you now search for her on Vimeo it's clear the videos are gone. If you click on her profile, nothing pops - she's gone.
Hats off to Vimeo for a quick action.
Next step would be to see Vimeo plug their contact hole and enact a system like Facebook so that users don't have to report other users but can ignore timeshare industry spam type requests.
