I'm losing interest

LilacTree — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 15:33:20 GMT

There is so much going on around us and we can't talk about any of it. I feel as though I am in grade school.

I find there are days when I don't even log in. That hasn't happened very much since I've been a member here.

ALL current events should not be unacceptable.

I have a solution!

One. Word.

REDDIT.

You can talk about anything with everybody over there...with little scrutiny.

I agree, I would like to have an adult conversation about current events. What is Reddit?

I agree that I also go to other forums outside of QVC forum...reddit. As thinking adults we should be able to talk about events going on in the world. This forum has gone to the point that we are so dumb down it is insane for a thinking person.

ITA The old "QVC's "private" board, stop your whining or take a hike" sentiments are getting old too." There is a way sans the mocking too, to have a civil discourse about current events. Wishing for it , and discussing it may convince moderators to ease up on over zealous application of elusive "standards".

How blessed are we to live in a country or have the good fortune that this is even an issue.

I agree - I use to like the discussions even if I did not agree with the poster. This new forum is too restricted. I have a feeling it will hurt Q's sales. I don't check into the forums anywhere near as much as I use to-therefore, I don't see as many posts about products.

I agree. Too much control here now. They could have just put up a disclaimer ("the opinions voiced here do not reflect the opinions of QVC") and moved on, but they had to call in the wrist-slappers to monitor every word. Feels worse than grade school.

Yes, thanks for this info. Been looking for someplace to have interesting discussions.

Because a bunch of waaa waaa babies complained.... Although they could have just monitored for that string of expletives!

Re: I'm losing interest

Tabbycat — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 16:11:06 GMT

I agree with all of you. And dare complain about something or some smart alec will come along and tell you if you don't like it go post somwhere else!

Totally uncalled for! GRRRR .... And yes, I will yell if I want to!!!

I T A.......I rarely post anymore and I definitely don't peruse the site like I used to. I have saved a lot of money.

I really don't understand why posters report other posters. I believe in letting the offense sit there so everyone can see which posters are really the problem.

This place has become a snooze fest.

If we can't discuss current events that affect all of us what is left?

Oh right...."What color is your car?"......."Did you plant a garden this year?"........"Are you watching The Bachelor?"........you get my drift.

I am in whole hearted agreement with the sentiments expressed here...for a long time QVC's community boards were lively some what controversal full of opinions good, negative, and indifferent...but always product informative, and an exchange of all types of ideas....now that is all gone away....the boards are "dumb-downed" whitewshed, and have largely lost value........what a shame... before ou had the option not to read anything you felt went agaisnt you sense...now we no longer have the option

Re: I'm losing interest

raven-blackbird — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 16:29:35 GMT

I think what is being lost here is..........The Q finally has the board THEY WANTED, and for a great many of you, what you told the Q you wanted.........IF you look at what is not allowed, it's exactly what you all used to complain about..........didn't like a topic that was posted, you reported it..........didn't like a reply that was posted, you yelled for sticter moderation....and hit the report button till your thumb was blue.........well congrats you got what you wanted.

it's their house, their rules, as guest in that house you can go along or find another party house.............just remember, a great number of those "party houses" are the ones some of you constantly complained about.......open topics, little to no moderation.........the stuff you complained about here.........you all got the lawn you wanted...........now enjoy the dandelions........................raven

How does one get there? I can take "little" scrutiny .... but not too much.

I hear you and am feeling much the same way. I found the DY one when it first came out but have not been able to locate it again. I will go take a look at REDDIT.

Re: I'm losing interest

Melania — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 16:34:05 GMT

It didn't occur to anyone that the reason it was changed because like Grade schoolers, not many would or could have a civil discussion without the same old Hatfield and McCoy vendettas breaking out...ad nauseum.

You reap what you sow. SMH

I very much agree. In my world, this state of affairs is called "milk toast," which has a very negative connotation.
