Too Little Too Late

occasionalrain — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 21:29:26 GMT

I'm disheartened to read that fellow posters, after being unceremoniously dumped, are not only willing to return, but are grateful to be taken back.

Some of our most caring fellow posters gave their time and expertise to provide us with a forum that is not overly monitored, restrictive, and arbitrary.

@occasionalrain, I agree.

I disagree. QVC made a mistake, realized it, and is fixing it.

That said, I do hope the new board stays up. It looks good and has additional features that this board doesn't have. I intend to post on both esp since at some point this board will go down.

While this board is heavily monitored, as I've already expressed here, moderation on the new board comes with different issues. Nothing is perfect. The ladies worked hard to set it up so I hope they keep it available.

Why the drama @occasionalrain posters asked to keep it open and they listened. Now everyone has a choice they can go to the new board, or stay here. or both.

My only suggestion is to allow us to have debates, and conversations without poofing. As long as there is no cursing, threats, or bullying let us have the conversation. Stop with the censorship.

Personally, I think both forums have different highlights. I guess I would call myself a flexible person. I am always willing to accept change. I plan to post on both forums and I am very appreciative of the efforts of Mellyg and staff for their efforts.💐💝

The advantage of QVC keeping the forums open is I won't lose touch with the community of posters who planned not to participate on the Mellyg forum. It's all good....⭐️

No drama. She's just expressing what she - and many of us - feel. It's just a different opinion from those celebrating QVC for keeping the forums open.

Good luck on your second paragraph.

But does anybody really think they listened? This is a large corporation and decisions don't just go away at the drop of a hat.

But the thought of losing a whole lot of sales at the biggest time of the year would make a huge difference for annual sales.

Reading the verbage for this is rather cryptic, as others have mentioned, so I don't really think they are saying what some seem to think they are saying.

@SushismomWho's celebrating? It's a forum what's to celebrate. Oh the drama.

Oh my gosh, so many complaints about the boards shutting down and now complaints about them staying open, complaints about the way posters are responding, complaints about who, what, where, when and why.

@manny2

Guess you missed those buying products to thank QVC. Oh, well.

Not to mention, not one Mod has come on to clarify. Many have asked for clarification yet the silence is deafening.

It's not that posters will again participate on the Q forums, for as long as they remain, it's the attitude of some, the fawning, the gratitude toward a company that disrespected those of us who used the forums. Just as shameful is the attitude toward the new forum made just for us, the rude wanting to return a now unwanted gift.

Actually, I think the folks on this forum over inflate how much people on this board spend. Look through any number of threads. Multiple people say they spend very little if any money at QVC.

I agree, those people that started proboard ,worked hard ,for us posters here on this forum,now some are deleting their joining. I think that is wrong.

@MG Chris

There are also some really big buyers on this board I know of a few...and some personally.

@MG Chris

I didn't mention anything about how much the posters buy. I mentioned those who bought to thank QVC for keeping this forum open.

It's really unbelievable @Citrine1 everyone has choice they stay or they go. As for all of the threatening to ban QVC, and purchasing from them remember we are all anonymous on this board to each other, but QVC will see who puts their money where their mouth is or not. We are not anonymous to them.

@occasionalrain Who was 'dumped'??? And when. I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about.

It was and is QVC who provides and provided the Forum to begin with. I'm pretty sure it was not any of the posters on this forum that put up this Community Forum on QVC dot com.

I think it was simple in that Q's TPTB thought Facebook would be a BIG draw and they had a surprise.... it isnt popular with many of our posters and others. Another surprise was that Pro-boards and its rapid development. It was promoted discussed as and an Alternative that wasn't expected! Try as they may to prevent information on joining Proboards from becoming known by deleting and banning posts and posters the word spread and dispersed quickly.

I am going to wait and see as I hope Posters aren't divided to the point of walking away from it all. Some already are done period with Q`s forums. Some will do both and some only one, Q or Proboards. There is alot of mistrust and apprehension at least speaking for myself. Confusing,to say the least.
