What does this mean?

"This post has been removed by QVC challenging moderation".

What does "challenging moderation" mean in regards to QVC removing a post?

What about it confuses? They're the "Judge Judy" of the forums here.

@Bridgegal Oh come on. You actually can't figure it out?

A Mod removed a post?

A poster questioned the Mod?

The Mod removed their post?

Just guessing....?

I know they remove posts for various reasons like political or unkind etc. but I've never seen 'challenging moderation' as a reason and seriously don't know what that means. They just didn't like it? They thought it was extreme? I saw nothing in OP's post that would call for the whole post to be removed. Just trying to figure out why they did it and what 'challenging moderation' means. It didn't say 'challenging the Moderator".

What is wrong with asking a question?

Because a mod removed a post, then someone questioned why it was removed. Challenging moderation.

It means, right or wrong, their opinion is the only one that matters...

@Bridgegal. Its a no no to argue with or question a mod as to the reason a post has been removed. If you have a post zapped, just move on and keep your mouth shut. You DON'T CHALLENGE what they do.

My guess..........it was a 'type-o' or she/he got carried away in the spelling department.

Questioning why a post was removed is challenging moderation.

So someone argued and the whole post was removed. Then I guess they meant to say "challenging the moderator" not 'challenging moderation'. That didn't make any sense to me. Thank you.

I think challenging a moderator is challenging moderation.

@Bridgegal

in a nutshell......

once one of your threads has been removed and given a reason for the removal (political, religious, baiting, and so on.....) it is really not to be questioned. those moderating the boards have given you the reason for removal.

if you begin ANOTHER thread about WHY the original thread was removed and ask questions or continue on with the same subject, then THAT "is challenging moderation." a poster really doesnt have the right on this board to question why their thread was removed.

they made a decision and the poster of the thread has to accept it. if you dont and start it back up again you are challenging moderation and that thread will also be deleted. if you persist, then you may risk being banned.

It seems like this was more of an English question vs. what does it mean.

Q's opinion is the only one that matters. This is a privately owned website so they can make whatever decision they want. We don't have to like it but it is what it is.

Wow, why so many snarky remarks about the OP's question? I had no clue what that meant either. Geez.
