Has the one about the 2 hosts selling bedding been poofed?

Probably, I don't think I read but a few responses. It was pretty ridiculous so I imagine it is gone.

My question is what determines a post being completely removed, vanished, as opposed to a post "removed" but still up?

@cjm61 I agree. I don't feel like some of the posts that are gone or locked deserve this. Must be a VERY FINE LINE one walks when posting in determining this. And perhaps the individual moderator's personal discretion. Some I've seen go just don't seem to be controversial at all???

Not unexpected at all.

Along the same lines... l was reading a post earlier when l looked at the date on the second or third page and it was FROM APRIL 2015 !!!!

The post was about hosts talking too fast. I noticed the date when someone said that Carolyn and Dan had nice-speaking voices!! I was WHAT ?!?! They aren't on anymore.

That was when I noticed the old date! Someone pretty new with 35 posts commented on it !!! I went to sign in then l couldn't find it !! I was going to tell her she couldn't continue to comment on a post from over 8 years ago!!!

It must have gone POOF !!!

Edited to Add: The post I'm talking about is still up on this forum Q-TALK about "Why are hosts talking So Fast?" One new person asked why was that up again instead of addressing the person who brought it up again!! No further comments can be added. I thought I was seeing things for a while!!!

It's still there, just padlocked.

So you can still read all about the fast talkers of 2015.

Was it the post bashing Shawn's sweater? And you wonder why it was poof'd.

@EastCoastGal @They CallMe MRWILKES

I'm really glad you addressed this issue. Since I'm fairly new, I try to search to see if a question has been asked before I post a thread about it. I see though, now sometimes a question may have to be posted about again if a lot of time has passed, circumstances changed, and people are no longer here etc.

@cheriere

It's against forum rules to bring up a very old thread, although I'm not sure it's listed among the community standards. It will be locked, as you found out.

Best to start a new thread.

The only exception to this is if an old thread has been continuously posted on, which several have been in the various forum categories.

@geezerette Yes, thanks for letting me know.

That's what I was trying to say but sometimes my thoughts and my typing don't seem to correlate so well together lol.

What are some threads completely deleted while other's are moved out with an explanation of why.

Shouldn't all deleted threads be moved with an explanation instead of poofed with no explanation?

The thread about Kirsten and Alberti in bed together to sell a mattress was a bit ridiculous @Group 5 minus 1.

@San Antonio Gal I know right? I saw a thread about wishes but never got to read it. It was padlocked with no reason given when I clicked on it.

millieshops — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 18:17:18 GMT

@cheriere I believe the post itself gets poofed for something like a link or an obvious copyright violation, but most that are poofed come from problems with the responses.

Sometimes we don't understand why a post is poofed, but I think if the Mod's smell smoke, they put it out before it bursts into a five alarm fire. They're good at reading how things are going to go.

We have to remember that some posts are intended to stir the pot, knowing full well, that it will be locked, or poofed. The Mod's must get tired of it, but someone has to monitor this playground.

@San Antonio Gal. It takes a little extra effort which they apparently aren't willing to expend.

It seems that we are no longer able to criticize things which QVC does that we find objectionable.

Don't look a gift-horse in the mouth. I am happy we have this forum. Thanks QVC.

@millieshops Oh yes, I saw a post get deleted for containing a link to a sales site I believe.

@cheriere. Now, that makes sense. QVC doesn't want to provide conveniences for its competitors. You can mention them but no links.
