WAS A DISCUSSION MOVED?

Noel7 — Sun, 18 Sep 2016 19:09:56 GMT

I saw one this morning that talked about serious menstrual pain and various treatments.

I'm not seeing it now and I wanted to make note of the treatments for someone who suffers.

Am I just not seeing it?

Wellness forum?

I read that thread earlier and thought it might do better on the Wellness forum. Moved on to another thread and when I refreshed.... the thread you're asking about was gone but I didn't a "MOVED" or anything like that.

Odd.

@Noel7

Somebody had bumped it up,

it was a very old thread from several years ago

so the Mod's probably poofed it.

Thanks @SahmIam!

I saw the subject when I got up but had to answer the phone.

There was a lot of good information there, imo it was wrong not to leave it up

@SahmIam

It was 2 or 3 years old and when they poof those

I think they drop away from the first page.

I still wish I'd been able to take notes on various treatments.

@newziesuzie Oh wow... I had no idea it was that old. I don't look at the dates, just the content. That would explain it!

Several threads were removed as a result of constant bumping of old threads....I apologize for any inconvenience however it is againt standards.

Thanks for the explanation @Beth-QVC

I never notice the dates. I was so hopeful it might have information for someone I care about who is having debilitating pain and the MDs have no idea what's causing it.

Hi, @Noel7! I hope you're doing well.❤️ I saw the threads... one poster had bumped at least 3 threads from as far back as nearly 4 years ago on the same or similar topic. Personally, I think that practice is inconsiderate toward the original poster of a thread (especially if the topic relates to personal medical issues) whose thread was long ago either closed or the thread went inactive. And, of course, bumping is a standards violation. I never understand why people do that instead of starting their own, new thread -- and doing so in the proper sub-forum.

Hi @dooBdoo

I understand, I didn't see it was an old thread. When I first saw it earlier, it sounded like a condition a relative is going through and I hoped there might be something to help her.

This post has been removed by QVC because it lists another poster

Kudos for that! Seriously, thank you. I'm glad if you guys are going to start doing that.

If TPTB don't want old threads bumped up why don't they delete them after a few months?

Re: WAS A DISCUSSION MOVED?

proudlyfromNJ — Sun, 18 Sep 2016 20:36:31 GMT

Or just lock them. They can still be read just not posted on.

That was my recommendation a while back.

If a thread is more than x number of months WITHOUT a post, maybe outside of a recipe, it should be deleted, IMO. I don't know what that cutoff is, but in a board as busy as this one a thread that hasn't had a post in even a week or so has become dead.

@MathisFan, I think they probably keep some of the older threads available for those who want to refer back to the information. Even so, I think they need to close the old threads to additional comments. It's very easy to program a loop to go through the old threads and close them... their IT Lithium folks (who manage the website) could do so very simply. It's rather unprofessional that they don't do this, but that's just my opinion.

MathisFan — Sun, 18 Sep 2016 20:45:23 GMT

@dooBdoo Good idea about closing threads to additional comments. Personally, I don't understand the big deal about bumping posts.
