asleep?

fuzzball76 — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 12:40:34 GMT

It must have been a wild weekend for the qvc censors or the "party poofers" I have noticed that there are QUITE a few comments have been posted about Jane,Albany, Kerstin, among others that were not immediately "moved" into the dungeon where you lock Courtney,Gabrielle and other neglected hosts only allow them to broadcast in exchange for food . Also it helps to avoid the police and end up on a milk carton as a missing person. LOL...Gives new meaning to a "Remote Location". Ok...I digress....

I know the "moderators" have a job to do and to stop "attacks"...We have a difference of opinion though sometimes what is a good natured response to a post, especially with the *cough cough* antics of certain hosts... There are times to where comments do go over the line..I have read a couple of posts of my own and admit that they shoud be poofed or I write something that then I don't post it. Alot of times as I am writing, the original poster is poofed anyways...

HOWEVER......when a TRUE event or subject happens and a post/comment is made and is immediately poofed...that gets me. Example...David's faces or dances...Some people like it, I personally don't. NOBODY IS RIGHT OR WRONG....But we should be allowed to comment either way. BUT THE ORIGINAL ONE WAS POOFED RIGHT AWAY! Just thought I would get that out there while eating my lucky charms and watching SNOW fall in Mid APRIL...

Actually, I'd prefer that they allow zero comments about the hosts. I can't recall many (if any) posts pertaining to hosts that end well.

Sometimes the posts are poofed when it does not have anything to do with hosts. However, when a post is made about trying to actually learn about the product on air because researching it other ways does not work and instead they get dancing or a travel log about Disney, comment are posted in response then POOFED. There have been reviews of products or services that were honest, just not positive that "disappear" too.

Aaaaaand reposting of a poofed thread, is a sure fire way to get the new thread poofed.

Why anyone would even want to "attack " a host is beyond me. Having an opinion and saying "I don't like the happy dance" sounds ok, but the attacks are usually quite vicious.

That's just me me and my opinion. I like most of the hosts.

@fuzzball76 it's usually more than a simple "opinion" stated nicely.

I believe the moderators have a tough job on this forum. They have to decide the difference between constructive discussions, differing observations and opinions, versus the totally unnecessary bashing & ugly trash talking. Some are quite proud of posting the latter, they tend to post only those incendiary posts to try to make themselves stand out. Those are the posts that I feel should indeed be poofed. Do the moderators get it right (on both sides) 100% of the time? No. But I'm one who is certainly glad they do what they do.

The poofers were out in large numbers this weekend.

As were the ones that caused the need for poofing.

As Albert Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." If posters haven't learned in the 11 months since the change that disparaging hosts, vendors and other posters is not going to be tolerated then...

And those are the ones that whine and cry that they "can't have their opinion".

I wonder if people go to stores and complain about the sales people they encounter there, like the do here online, hidden by a nicname.

I also wonder if people watch QVC too much, lol.

Re: asleep?

QVCkitty1 — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:40:01 GMT

If something that a host does or says really bothers you, why not contact QVC. Directly? This way you have registered your complaint, and no one has to call out the flying monkeys.I'm not saying that anything will be done, however it would be at least as effective as posting here.

I feel I need to comment here. And I really liked the post from the woman who asked if you would complain about the salespeople in a brick and mortar store and also mentioned that posters can hide behind nicknames here. The moderators do have a tough, if not impossible job. And I don't really see why people have to come here to bash the hosts either. I particularly dislike this when the host is only doing what they have been hired to do -- present and sell products. I can't even imagine trying to talk about the same item for 15 minutes while trying not to lose the audience and keep the audience interested at the same time, while someone is talking in your ear. My goodness, the hosts are not given enough credit for the incredible job that they do. A great many of them also have to do shift work at hours, when frankly, I would be unable to sell the best jewel in the country. So I honestly just want to congratulate the hosts, the moderators, the customer service people and QVC in general. While it is not the only place to turn to for many of us who can get out and shop in brick and mortar, there are some who are not so fortunate and it is a place to turn for folks with special challenges. While we also might get tired of some of the same programming, I'm not at all sure how QVC sells its airtimeto those who produce the product. Surely the time doesn't come free, so that should be a consideration. Anyhow, thanks to the moderators, hosts and customer service reps for what they do.

This is why I REALLY miss the "ignore user" button. It seems if it was still around the Mods would see the top "ignored" users and figure out who the "stir the pot" people are. Some users seem to enjoy snarky, mean comments and I liked not having to read their toxic posts. JMHO. Good job Mods! You guys have lots more patience than me.

Speaking only for myself, familiarity breeds contempt. I used to have QVC on just for background, but got really sick of hearing some hosts' voices & it seemed like it was the same old stuff being sold. DUH! So, for different background, I switched to a 24/7 news channel. Guess, what? In this general election year, I got really sick of hearing about all the candidates & their arguments. Click. Off goes the tv. Now listening to radio or my CDs. Lesson learned: Too much of anything is too much.

Yep. There ya go. I barely turn on the tv. A little in the evening. Talk radio is my background "noise".

To pretend or assume that all "opinions" are just that - calm, rational statements of like or dislike and the reasons and impacts behind them - is disingenuous in the extreme. The threads *invariably* quickly degenerate into "X makes me sick to my stomach when...", "X looks like a (Low class Lady of the Evening) wearing that", "Z is just plain disgusting when", "I can't stand B", and on and on and on, these simple, "honest opinions".

Supposedly, all who post here are adults. And adults KNOW when they post something that is inappropriate before they post it. They know it's inappropriate just *thinking* about it. But they post it anyway, knowing it's rude and obnoxious and often bigoted, proud of that fact, and then claim favoritism, bias and censorship.

Boo-hoo. Credit the average forum member with more intelligence.
