Paging Cindy-QVC

Sorry about that. I have ad blockers enabled on my browsers. I didn't see the "stuff" you edited out from my links. When I disabled the ad blockers I saw the ~~political~~ sidebars.

From now on, I will make my links "unclickable" and/or name the website I copy/pasted the article(s) from.

@Mz iMac What is in red is what I've started doing too, since the Mods got so strict about the links (which they weren't always). I had happen to me what happened to you - I never even had seen the side stuff when my post got zapped.

Or sometimes now I just take the most important sentence or two out of the article from the point I'm making to prove my point, and put them in quotation marks and cite the source.

@Mz iMac Now I am confused. I know that the mods can edit but why was your thread left standing with edits but Sea Maiden's thread was deleted in its entirety??

How can the mods edit sidebars on a link??

Please explain?? Or am I reading this incorrectly???

Mod Cindy deleted my links to the articles I posted but left the articles. Nothing w/in the articles themselves violated QVC's Community Standards for Participation. However, the links I posted to the articles did because of the political sidebars.

Because of my ad blockers, I do not see sidebars or any other "advertisements, pop ups, etc" that violates the CSP.

@Mz iMac

I asked the Mods about links before and they told me links are okay, and the actual links for an article weren't the problem, it was the ads, or other items on the same page that was inappropriate-such as advertisements, political articles, controversial topics/photos, or other stuff not acceptable under the Q Standards and Guidelines.

I usually copy and paste appropriate paragraphs and give credit to the author and source. But thats a good idea about making it a non-clickable link so people can just copy and paste and put it in a separate browser to read it.

@Mz iMac Got it. I thought Cindy was deleting the sidebars. LOL That explains it-you had a link but also posted the story. So Cindy only deleted the link, not the whole post

Sea Maiden only posted the link.

D'oh.
