Thank You, Brittany

You did what you felt you had to do under QVC's guidelines. Thank you for not removing the thread and for allowing the joy to remain. We understand that your job has become very difficult.

I also wish to thank Brittany. I may not agree with all of the decisions, but she and the other moderators are trying their best to let us know the "why".

I am really appreciative that the mods are telling us why, as we always wanted to know in the past why something was removed.

The next steps are up to us.

Of all the moderators, Brittany is the most detailed in her decisions.

I appreciate it immensely - I think it will hep me become a better poster too!

Although I might not agree with some of the decisions on what posts stay, or go, or get locked.......I do agree that out of all the mods, I have seen so far, Brittany has the most detailed explanation as to why the post was removed.......... may not agree with the reason, at times.........but at least we have one and a detailed one at that................................raven

I seem to not mind when my post or topics are removed. While others get upset.

I had to think why is it that I am more relaxed over this rattle and hum of this forum?

I guess because it has been done to me so often where now I just move along and let it be ...just let it Be. It is what it is.

This post has been removed by QVC because, although fun in nature it is inappropriate.

Re: Thank You, Brittany

Moonchilde — Sat, 27 Jun 2015 18:19:56 GMT

I don't mind in general if a post of mine is deleted, and under the old forums I never minded over-much if a thread I was in was deleted.

What I do mind is seeing a growing trend to a concerted effort to "get" threads removed just because it can be done, when the threads and 90% of the posts do not violate the rules but posts are injected so the threads will be deleted. It is at this point a loophole of sorts that I hope QVC will give serious thought to closing.

SuiGeneris, Yes I am a long time U2 fan.

Locking the "joy" thread while removing the opposition thread showed biased, uneven moderating...IMO. Lock both or remove both. I don't understand why they were treated differently.

Maybe Brittany will explain.

Being a QVC moderator does appear to be a fairly thankless job. Hope it pays well.

(bolded by me) Yeah, I don't see that ending any time soon. I think there are those who take great glee in trying to destroy a peaceful thread. Sad, really, for people with that mindset so I just see it for what it is and SMH.

Moonchilde — Sat, 27 Jun 2015 18:23:39 GMT

Totally disagree, esmerelda. The posters in the deleted threads *broke the posting rules and guidelines over and over.* THAT is why they were deleted and for no other reason.

There is always strong emotions on both sides, and because they differ from the other side, doesn't make them wrong. People feel what they feel, sometime with valid reasons ohers might not share, but if they are going to let once side vent ,the other side should also get a chance, as long as it's done peacefully

Hi esme nice to see you

I am hoping that the proactive stance the moderators are taking on the new forum will continue, and that there will be repercussions for willful disobedience, shall we say. The potential is there for them to crack down on this as well.

completely agree with you esme......it does show bias........but on the other hand, Brittany does give a pretty good descriptive reason as to why posts are removed or locked........maybe she will give the reason as to why this bias position was taken................................raven

Several posts were deleted from both threads, I'm sure. But at the end of the day, one was left standing and one had vanished.

Thank you, but Brittany did it and she is the one who knows why. Hoping she will give her reason.
