Where have hosts gone?

bamasec — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 14:31:34 GMT

Could anybody tell me what happened to Dave James and Dave King? It seems they have been gone 3 to 4 years at least. I know Dave James was from my state of Alabama and I really liked both of them, I thought they were very good hosts. Thank you for any information.

Dave King went to ShopNBC for awhile but did not stay long. It was nice to still see him but not sure where he is now.

Dave King has been gone for a very long time it seems.

I thought he still showed up on Evine as a vendor periodically but I might be wrong.

I'm pretty sure Dave James has a photography business.

I've seen Dave King a few times on FB and I believe, not certain as of now though, that he is living in Newport Beach, CA and pursuing acting on occasion.

Mods instead of leaving the "unkind" post with a message saying it has been removed due to unkind/inappriopriate etc, howabout just deleting it entirely. There is no need for the message to be there IMO

As I recall, when QVC did its last survey of forum users, one of the big complaints was the removal of posts with no explanations. QVC then announced that it would begin stating why the posts were removed because of all of the requests.

Now, people complain because the moderators list the reason. Please, tell me and others what they should do because apparently people are upset either way.

Perhaps, instead of being upset at the removal of posts or the moderators listing the reasons of the removal, we should should stop posting things which violate the standards and be upset with those who do. After all, the moderators are not the ones to blame for the board disruptions.

They both left very suddenly. Dave King has been seen acting in some TV movies after a brief period at ShopNBC.

LancerHawkFriar — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 23:33:04 GMT

Dave King has gotten some acting jobs...
Not sure about the other guy...they both were good at what they did.

@I am still oxox, I don't know about this one but on most forums the moderators do actually move the posts to an area only they can access. That allows them to preserve the posts/threads, respond to anyone who questions the removal, and to restore the posts/threads if they've decided they were removed in error.

I've also seen cases, on this website, in which a thread disappears for a few minutes and returns with a few posts edited out by the moderators -- so that also makes me think they're actually "moved" to another area.

(eta: I just clicked on the "moved" message and it does go to another part of the website, "Blogs & Forums: Customer Care: Deleted Posts.")

I must not be tuning in at the right times but havent seen Mary Beth or Lisa Mason in quite sometime. Can anyone tell me if they have seen them on?

Dave James stays busy with his photography business.

Have seen homes for sale online by Dave King from time to time. Also saw him respond recently to one of Dan Wheelers tweets on Twitter. I always liked him especially when he would break into a laugh!

Dave King had many acting roles on last fall's new comedies w/black casts, etc. He also was a Dr. for a day on YOUNG & RESTLESS a while ago! Check his imdb.com page that another poster listed.

Lisa Mason is on a hopefully brief medical leave.

Mary Beth Roe was on last week, maybe she is on vacation.

Dave James, no idea.

Anyone who isn't official original QVC "Royalty" over a certain age is gone.

they have been gone a long time. They were let go. Some people will disagree but yes, they were let go.

That's more of "in an ideal world" kind of thing. Because not every mod moderates this board the same way - there's a lot of subjectivity and therefore a lot of inconsistency in deciding which posts to remove because they violate standards. So saying "just don't do it" doesn't quite work out.
