Comments closed...who decides?

madzonie — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 23:23:53 GMT

Who is it would decides that comments cannot be posted to a thread any longer? Is it Q or is it the OP?

I was the OP of the Je suis Charlie thread, commenting on the massacre in Paris. The QVC webmaster cut off further comments, probably afraid of the direction additional posts might take.

Once the "r" word is posted, that's the end of the thread.

Well, it happened to me on my "Consultant" thread earlier today. I had decided to come back to it right now to ask the webmaster to remove the topic because certain persons were getting a thrill out of making rude remarks. When I arrived back at Viewpoints, the topic was gone. Not sure what caused the webmaster to pull it, but from my viewpoint there were 3 posters who like nothing better than to see if they can get my goat. Can't say here what I think of that.

And to think - all I was asking was advice on consulting, as I'm just about to get my first consulting job...

That's too bad.

Good luck with your new endeavors.

brii,

Thank you so much for the sentiment. I really appreciate it.

The Q forums offer quite a mix of folks, hence my decision to come here with my query, though I have sought opinions elsewhere.

Thanks, again.

????? I have no idea what word you are referring to. However, my guess is perhaps the French words got it stopped. They don't like us using foreign languages.

Banning threads is so annoying. Just as I see something interesting, "the discussion is closed"

The same ones who delete some posts and not others.

There were some, uh, "intolerance of those different from ourselves" posts.

Intolerance really? do tell.

Am I not getting something here? Someone wants her topic removed and is then surprised when she finds out it has already been removed for the same reason that she wanted it removed? The reason was "rude remarks".

This is very confusing.

I read that thread but didn't post on it. There were only 3 responses at the time I was reading and I see only one remains on it. I don't know about intolerance posts but the second one started to steer in another direction about race.
