New Members

Has anyone else noticed the "new member" almost daily complaining about a different host. I find it very strange and wonder if they are one person.

@Rose429 Yes, I have noticed it is a New Member and a first post. That seems more than coincidental.

Typically, many people will come here and their first post will be a bitter complaint about something; host, programing, a product or service. Sometimes chronic complaining continues and sometimes we never hear from them again. Rarely do they become regular, good-natured participants. Too bad, we might have enjoyed them.

@Rose429,

Yes I have seen this a lot. I'm not sure if they are one person but I have learned not to criticize any even if the first post that goes on and on about how awful their experience with ordering or something because

you or I or anyone will be critisized also and showing lack of understanding for that poor first time poster,even though they post like they have been around for a long long time.

I don't mind complaining but I do wish "first" time posters would say who they were before and not pretend to be innocent never posted before posters. I also never feel the need to defend them or say well we were all first time posters once because that is a rude way if true to come on a forum and take a whole page to complain.

Oh don't mind me, everything is getting to me today.

No, I haven't seen that. Most newbies come here with a problem they are having with a QVC order that hasn't been resolved by other means.

@fanb Funny you should mention this. I posted something similar when Andreatoo's thread was being deluged the other day. I later found that my post was deleted! No good deed goes unpunished. Go figure.

I rely on the Moderator's to take care of it if it's a troll. I try to welcome New Members whether it's a complaint or not.

I haven't really noticed this.

But the Temperance Movement seems to have definitely not slowed down.

Viva Carrie Nation!

No, I have not noticed this at all. I also don’t go back and keep track of other members posts. Members new or old are free to post their opinions. The mods decide what is appropriate and what is not.

There are so many complaints about various hosts from both new and veteran posters that I really hadn't thought to sort of count.

What I do know is which products I might buy and which hosts I prefer to watch. So far I would say none of either the pats or the pans has changed what I watch.

Re: New Members

Cakers3 — Sun, 13 Mar 2022 15:13:03 GMT

As soon as you see the name of a host in the heading of a thread, it is almost a guarantee it will be a complaint.

Rare is the thread asking what the host is wearing and rare is the host given a compliment.

Whether the poster is a true newbie or a troll doesn't matter to me.

Open the thread if it interests you, bypass if it doesn't.

But the folks who must say "change the channel" need a useful outlet too.

Re: New Members

Krimpette — Sun, 13 Mar 2022 15:25:14 GMT

I've always assumed it was an existing member, just logging in as a newbie to avoid detection.

Recently noticed new, sometimes anonymous posters who seem intent on bullying specific posters by name. It seems so unnecessary and unkind. Yes, we all have opinions and feel entitled to voice our opinions, but why be mean-spirited and purposefully try to hurt people? If you are just stating your opinion, why hide behind a new nic...why not just use your recognized nic and state your opinion?

I do try to stay out of the threads about hosts. I think like a lot of businesses, there are people who do a better job than others. Shrug. I do know I would not be a good tv host and wouldn't last one 3 hour shift.
