Great job

By the mods this morning. What a mess that was. Thanks very much.

Missed that one, which seems like a good thing!

One time I was still in the processes of reporting an "inappropriate" content post when it was yanked out from under me. I wish the IT crew were as responsive as the Q's Moderators.

@laluzdelmundo I wish I'd wake up 3 inches taller tomorrow - as I do in my fantasy life! In my sane moments, I think it's possible the company can hire their whole staff of mods for much less than one decent IT cost on the same kind of response time could cost.

What happened on the forum? I see a ton of posts which were removed for various reasons. What did I miss?

The response was not particularly rapid. Just stating the facts.

The event went on for hours and proliferated as some of us watched.

Once they got on it, they did a great job. But it did seem to take long time to eradicate those threads.

It seems like there was either only one Mod on duty this morning for quite a while, or their work hours have changed to more like 9 to 5. That's something that's happening in most service and retail industries in their customer relations departments.

Great job by the mods. I do wish, however, that they had the ability to removed the offending posts completely.

A reapeat of Xmas 2017. Hindsight is 2020 but calmly reporting it and not responding is best.

I was relieved when I went offline for several hours and returned to find the place "fumigated."

My hope is that QVC restores a vigilant moderator for the late-night-to-early-morning hours.

I don't know what happened, but I do see the closed threads with the very odd titles. My imagination could go in a few different directions.

Someone must have been hitting the hard sauce.

Yes, the forums were totally vandalized when I checked-in early this morning - and it was ongoing. It was really something to see.

Some excitement on the forums and I miss it per usual.

Having missed other times when this site has been hacked, I can say only this: There was such ugliness and nastiness present in the several messages I read on the two forums I visited (Community and Among Friends) that my gut feeling was that there was a severely disgruntled former QVC employee out there or reader of our posts.

Another poster informed me that many of the forums were besmirched with the same sort of filth, but I decided not to look at this garbage any more than I needed.

There seemed to be a deliberate strike on this site. But, as I said, I've never previously encountered one of the hacks that have struck here. It was my first and -- I hope -- my last time. But it just seemed personal, for some reason.

It seemed like a lot of spam. Thanks for your reply.

Egads! Is that what "spam" looks like? I guess I've been protected.

Those of you who didn't see It are.lucky. I opened up a few threads and was shocked and disgusted. I reported some of them as inappropriate as soon as I saw them but I know that they were up for a while.
