I wish the tposts here were limited to qvc brands,issues, recommendations,reviews etc.....for me there are too many people looking for friends or to chat about lonely people who want to chat about their health issues,tv shows, deer pictures...etc,...isn't that what other sites are for? This should be about qvc related topics....and it used to be but not any more.

Maybe the Q facebook page would be more to your liking.

That is a bit harsh. Yes, we have QVC in common, but it's fine for posters to simply chat. The topic headings help me decide if I'm interested in a topic.

@DebNYC31,

Didn't you already post about this?

Just go to the titles you like on the left-Q talk, Today's Special Value,My favorite Brand, etc. You don't have to read anything other than what you like.

These forums from as far as I can remember have always had many sub forums, which a lot of people obviously like to read and post on.

Make sure you are not going to recent posts or topics. Instead click on the topic to the left you want to see. That way you will only see posts about QVc stuff.

If we just talked about QVC products, the conversation, like QVC products, would be dull as dishwater.

Many of us are good friends and we want to keep up with our friends. You're welcome to discuss vacuum cleaners and mattresses to your heart's content.

@DebNYC31 , I don't understand the desire to control the topics here. It is easy to ignore the subjects that don't interest you.

Wow, that's a great way to make friends...NOT 🤦‍♀️

Nobody is forcing you to participate in any of those conversations. Who gives a flip if others want to talk about things that don't interest you. Participate where you want and leave the rest. It should be no concern of yours, what others are chatting about.

Odd that you would post this under Today's Special Value. That category is usually focused on QVC or maybe HSN's TSV.

Not only have I seen this post twice now, but no, it was never like that from the beginning. There have always been multiple topics. The more people visit these forums, the greater chance they can see something of interest they might buy. It is in QVCs best interest to encourage repeat and longer visits.

So many posters trying to take control of this or that or whatever; i.e. don't read my posts, don't respond to my posts, MYOB; the list goes on and on. It's just exhausting some days.

I've been around forever on these boards-I don't think my stats reflect that but i have and there has always been personal chat in addition to the QVC specific subjects. That's why I love these boards. I think there is more than enough product specific topics. I like the mix.

@DebNYC31 I've been on the boards since 2005 and it was never just about the Q and Q related products. It's much more restrictive now in the topics that can be discussed.

I had an active Etsy shop for more than ten years and they used to have a very active message board. We could chat about almost anything not just Etsy and business related topics. There were many heated discussions.

The year before Covid they revamped the forum and we could only discuss business related topics. Anything else would get removed......it got very boring and so many left.

The Q forum is much quieter and less active than it used to be. If they narrow it down any more it would die a slow death.

@DebNYC31 Maybe the QVC forums aren't for you. I'm sure you can find other forums to your liking.

@DebNYC31 - This is the second thread you've started on this subject.

You were given advice in your first one (07/08; Beauty: "Blog/Forum Options") about how to limit what you read on these boards or even to check out the Q's Facebook page.

What do you hope to accomplish by posting the same thing again?

The boards are for all the members and aren't limited to what you think should be discussed.

BTW, what does your post have to do with the TSV? You haven't mentioned that at all.

Poor Deb.

She's really taking a drubbing.

Full on pummeling.

Hang in there Debster!

@DebNYC31

These forums are already as bland as warm milk because they've been restricted so much.

My pet peeve is people thinking they have the right to control what other people write on these forums.

Re: Forum Topics

the geeger — Sun, 17 Jul 2022 12:13:44 GMT

I totally agree. Product information, critiques of products, etc. used to be what the forums were all about. Now it has become a chat site. That was very nice of the Q to leave this forum for chatters, but for me I'm not interested in their animals, relatives, vacations, etc. So no real value for me.

@DebNYC31

From the 118 posts you have made, it seems you are fairly " new " here. Many posters have been here many thousands of posts more than me....I have been here probably 10+ years. The variety of topics outside QVC items is what keeps me here.

Posters look for insight and information about things ( events, health issues, losses, etc. ) and usually receive what they seek or best sources to pursue.

Other posters share their talents, be it their environment, their passion, their history, their ability to analyze / create, their empathy, their sympathy, etc.

Rules can sometimes chafe; however, the moderators try to keep it a " peaceful kingdom / queendom."

This particular " pew " may be the wrong one for you now: there are many others here from which to chose to get your info on QVC brand offerings.
