Reporting posters?

happygolfcartrider — Sat, 02 Jul 2016 12:33:50 GMT

I had a comment reported in a thread that was for the craziest reason I have ever encountered. A little back story here, The thread was started by a "new" commenter. I made the remark that the commenter could be new as there were very few comments. I replied to a comment about the person mentioning something personal. I had looked up the commenter and the personal info was different on another thread AND the info was nothing anyone could locate the commenter with. ANYWAY I was reported and deleted for "Unnecessary" information.

Read any thread in these forums and they are loaded with "Unneccessary" information BUT I get deleted? Is there anything in the guidelines that say that "unnecessary" information is forbidden? Please explain exactly what "Unnecessary" information would be so I will know not to post anything "unnecessary".

Ask one of the Mods. Use the @ sign and one of their names. Everyone has posts removed. It is not important as far as I am concerned.

@proudlyfromNJ No it is not important, I just think the reason was so stupid and would like to know the reason behind it. I sent a message to the Social Team about this particular moderator that has done things like this before to my comments. She deletes things I say but will leave the exact same comment on other posters comments.

I Really don't care if I get deleted BUT let it be for the right reason not something silly and stupid.

This post has been removed by QVC because of unkind comment

I was REMOVED a week ago. Someone made a comment about unfavorable family relationships. I then added my experience, and then poof within minutes.

A bit surprised, but I accept the POOF. This site belongs to QVC. It is a shopping network. I think they are darn generous allowing any of us to post anything beyond products. There are other places to vent or say things about life in general all over the Internet.

Just my take on this. They allow... TV and Movies, Book Club, Mom to Mom, Community Chat, Among Friends, etc. If we were to GO OVERBOARD they would have the right to delete these forum choices plus more.

Just an FYI, posters cannot continually report other posters as they themselves will be banned or given time out. It is in the standards. So it won't be just one person reporting your posts.

I am not so sure about that but thanks for the heads up.

Unless It is blatantly sexual, literal bad language,racist, completely harassing to a pecific poster repeatedly,or homophobic,I don't get why things are reported so much

Nobody likes a tattletail. It seems some are so easily offended and cannot bear to even read something they find upsetting,rude,or against their beliefs and opinions. I actually once reported myself because I posted something that was possibly (by mistake) inaccurate ,lol. I don't get how some even watch tv,Google search(stuff just pops up) etc.

If you are referring to the post I think you are my guess is that it was removed because you pointed out a name discrepancy on a different post not because you were advising the poster to remove her full name.

That is the one. There was discussion that the poster was a "troll" someone posted that she had posted her name and should not have. I looked up the poster and found that she used another name on another thread and put the first name only which was all that she put. So why was that unnecessary information when it was being discussed?

I was not the one that advised the poster to remove her full name another poster did that. I just pointed out that she had two names out there.

What is seen as trash to one person can seem like gold to another. With many word definitions, does not always mean the same to different people.

I think it is immature to do so, unless it is porn, like we had several weeks ago.

I think there is one group of posters who spend all their time hitting the Report Inappropriate Content button when ever they do not agree with something.

@happygolfcartrider

It was against the standards about 'calling out' another poster, when you brought up the fact that she made a name change, which doesn't necessarily make her a troll, posters change their user names all the time.

They aren't supposed to use multiple ID's at the same time, however.

That may be what the Mod deemed 'unnecessary information', that's my guess anyway.

Perhaps it was deemed "unnecessary" and deleted because you played detective for no other reason than to start trouble. You wanted to stir the pot and get something going and that certainly was not....necessary. What possible difference could it make to anyone if she posted under two names....or 50 names? As for posting under 2 names, I do that. It's not my fault. I use my laptop, my Kindle and my Chromebook. Back when the Forum changed last year, I had to give myself a new nickname for the Forum. So I added a 2 to my Chrystaltree nick. Now when I post from my Kindle, that's who I am Chrystaltree2. It's no biggie and no one has ever....called me out on it.

I did not "call out" the poster, I just responded to another comment that she could be a troll. I never said she was a troll. I did say she used another "real name" not another nic.

I most certainly was NOT stirring the pot nor trying to get something going. I made a simple response to another simple comment AND IF she POSTED under two names I have no knowledge. The other posters were commenting on that fact, not me. The comments were that she posted a "real name" and should not have. I said she posted another "real" name just the first name on another thread.

Drop it for crying out loud. This is a shopping channel board; in the grand scheme of things, this matter is less than trivial.

Stop whining and move on.

I believe we found the true definition of "unnecessary".
