Ever receive this message????

cjm61 — Sun, 21 Jan 2024 17:06:03 GMT

I received the following notification on 3 comments to a post of mine. I have not one clue as to what it means. Three posters "mentioned" me but this is what I get when I click each of them.

I must state the comment I made was in no way against any rules or policies ie: argumentative, political, unkind, etc. In addition, my post was completely removed and it appears the 3 that responded were removed as well.

Yes, I do realize we don't truly know the in's and out's on this board but I don't know who to ask. I don't know if I did something wrong, but again, nothing was against their policies here.

Anybody have a clue??? What privilege do I need? Who is the parent?

"You do not have sufficient privileges for this resource or its parent to perform this action."

My guess is that the "parent" refers to the parent company of the resource what ever that is supposed to mean. The entire message is strange and makes no sense to me

@cjm61 - what the heck - I have never seen that message or have a clue what it means. Maybe its something new? I can't believe it did not come with a meaning better than the one given. At least you didn't get suspended so it couldn't have been that bad.

Could you try copy/paste and sending to the mods?

Again, I have no idea - Riley1

That looks like a glitch in the system. I don't remember ever getting that here, but I have seen it before other places. Sometimes it can mean that your subscription level doesn't include that, but that wouldn't be the case here since we don't pay to use the boards. So, the system is mistakenly directing you to something you don't have permissions to see.

Since you can see the thread these people mentioned you on, why not just go to that thread and scroll through it and find the comments? I know it's tedious. In the meantime, you could also report the glitch to the mods via their E-mail.

@cjm61 Looks like some bizarre system glitch. I personally would just ignore it.

@cjm61 Yes, definitely a glitch, never saw anything like that.

@cjm61

Not sure, but has the post been removed or locked?

I got this message a few weeks ago when a thread was removed for some reason, and I don't THINK I caused it's removal, but who knows?

@cjm61

If you email the Social Team, they will tell you what it means/why your post and the 3 responses were removed.

QVCSocialTeam@QVC.com.

@cjm61 - That type of message is tied to system coding and an error that is occurring in connection with the link you're trying to click. Try logging out and logging back in again to clear things out, and if it is still happening, wait and try again in a few hours; the system may have reconfigured itself by then to allow the link connections to be functional again. Good luck!

@Icegoddess The entire thread is still there with the exception of ONE of my posts and evidently the 3 that "mentioned" me were removed. Vanished. And the thread is still open. There is nothing on any post stating "This post has been removed by QVC" or anything like it. Just vanished.

@cjm61,

To put it simply, it means:

a thread or reply was removed and the system did not clean up the links to that thread or post in an orderly fashion so at the moment there are some broken links.

The "resource" refers to a thread, post, or notification we might try to click/access, the "parent" refers to the hierarchy top-down levels of links in the network.

The "privilege" is the level of access our login give us -- deleted content or links require access only the moderators or tech staff would have.

(When we add a reply, a heart, or an "@ plus name" notification to a thread, that automatically creates a link.

The thread quickly becomes a complex network of links, and sometimes when something is deleted or even edited the pattern of links can be corrupted or broken and will generate this kind of message.

It's not something we can fix.

Once the system re-indexes the links it fixes the problem, so it's temporary and each time you see this kind of error message just wait a wee bit of a while and it will resolve itself.)

Rest easy... none of it is accusatory, no shade😉. Just a tech glitch.😊

@loriqvc That would seem logical right? It doesn't work. I have other "mentioned" comments I can access as well as others that gave me "hearts". Just these 3 notification I cannot access.

I signed out. I rebooted computer. Nothing works. The oddest part to me is the posts that "mentioned" me are also gone.

Re: Ever receive this message????

cjm61 — Sun, 21 Jan 2024 17:46:25 GMT

Thanks @dooBdoo . This is helpful.

I'm really not too concerned, just baffled. It's been that way for about 12 hours. If I never see the comments I am okay, I was just curious. And of course, I was hoping I didn't say something inappropriate, which I am sure I did not.

@cjm61 - There's always something strange to keep us guessing around here! If you're able to revisit the threads that are mentioned in your notifications, you should be able to see the mentions even if you can't click to jump to them. Or as dooBdoo mentioned, if the thread has disappeared or been modified, you may just have to let the notifications go into the ether and simply wonder "what might have been."

@dooBdoo - It's good to see you, stranger! Hope all is well.

@cjm61, The problem will be there 'til the Q's system re-indexes and refreshes. It's not something we can fix.😊

@cjm61 Usually, when I'm mentioned in a post where the post or the mention has been removed, I think it just goes to the beginning post and then when you go back to your notifications, those mentions will disappear. I still just think the message itself is just a glitch in the system, but I can't say why your post and the postst that mentioned you might have been removed. Sometimes, it just makes no sense.

I recently got banned from a gardening group I was in on Facebook after asking about thermometers. I got some cryptic message about violating Facebook's cyber security rules, and only figured out it must've had to do with that gardening group since that was the only post I had made that day, and when I tried to go back to it the entire group had disappeared. When you get banned from a group on Facebook, you can no longer even find that group, so no way to plead your case there.

You're welcome, @cjm61!

The way the Q's site is managed, on weekdays it probably would resolve the night after the deletion (usualy fixes show up around 3 a.m. to 4 a.m.) but on weekends it likely will take longer.

As far as missing content, I always feel the best way to inquire is to send a private email message to the QVC Social Team (QVCSocialTeam@QVC.com), including the thread title, a link to it, and as many details as possible. They are helpful and will do their best to find it and offer some insight.

Your posts are always so positive, upbeat, pleasant, thoughtful❤️ so the deletion was highly likely due to other posts to which your reply simply was linked.😊

@Icegoddess Thanks for your time in responding. I appreciate it.

As for the Facebook issue, my sister-in-law had something happen also. She posted a picture of her 2 year old grandson swimming, nothing inappropriate. She was banned (temporarily) from Facebook and did not have a clue other than it stated something about inappropriate posting.

Anyway, long story, turns out it was the ex of her daughter who was just causing problems. It was discovered he reported my SIL but she had no way to rebut her case. She had to wait awhile, can't remember how long. The photo could easily be accessed and it would show nothing was wrong but FB immediately blocked her.

Like you said, some things just don't make sense.

Thank you, @loriqvc! Always good to see you, too! Been under the weather for quite some time, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I do hope you're doing well.❤️

@cjm61. Ask the mods. They're the ones who have all the control over our posts.

Qvcsocialteam@qvc.com

I clicked on a notification yesterday and got a message that I was not authorized to access that function.

I just skipped it. Figured it was a glitch.
