Question about what you're allowed to post

beach-mom — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:30:22 GMT

I know we can't post anything political, but I just posted some sad news about another country. Are we not allowed to post anything like that either?

Check the Standards under your name at top right. It outlines what you are allowed to post.

Some things fly, some don't. I know they say nothing political but sometimes those threads actually last if posters can behave themselves, but that's rare.

Thanks - I reread the standards. Believe me, I'm careful about what I post. This was NOT political and not controversial. Don't understand why I couldn't post about it.

That is no help whatsoever because the standards are too vague.

I think threads are deleted if there is a possibility they could go south. Not a probability, not because they have, but someone sees a potential. The sky could be blue overhead and that's all it takes-

I think sometimes it also has to do with whoever is monitoring the boards at any given time. Some monitors are a little more sensitive than others in what they think is an appropriate discussion.

Some discussions and get really heated while others about what you like about a certain State is wiped/erased out really quick.

And too unevenly enforced.

Thanks everyone - I still don't understand, but after reading your replies, I get it.

It was about a school in Africa. I have friends who teach over there.

Controversial is subjective....what one person feels is controversial isn't to another....I think the webbies fail to be consistant in what they deem controversial or not....this adds to confusion on these boards as to why some threads remain way too long while others instantly go poof....it is also possible the webbies do not know that discussing current events is not necessarily a controversial topic.

Bear in mind that the topic may have nothing to do with why something is deleted. In most cases, it is how people react to the topic -- and each other -- that determines whether something is deleted.

I think many people automatically assume that QVC deletes something because the moderators do not like it; in many cases, though, it gets deleted because omne board contributors can refuse to act like adults.

There is no reasonable answer to that more than reasonable question. It's up to the whim of whatever Grand Poofba is on duty at any given moment.
