How about a column about Deleted/Moved articles/comments?

fuzzball76 — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 17:22:01 GMT

Considering you cannot give an honest and open post or reply on here without it being poofed, How giving a seperate section to those that are removed and let people be the judge of whats "mean" or "politcal" and giving people a chance to decide? A certain amount of time, enough hearts or upvotes and the topic/response can go back up? We do have freedom of speech in America and can debate if we want to. It is not like if you don't agree with a topic someone is going to come to home or work and fight you.

That doesn't apply here. QVC is a private company and it makes the rules for this board, by which you have to abide whether you agree with the Mods' actions or not. Like it or leave. Letting posts stay that the Mods think should be removed is senseless. I don't agree with the Mods all the time, but I have agreed to abide by the board's rules. If you don't like'em, start your own board.

You CAN give an honest opinion, but if it goes against the rules (which you should have read and understood if you were joining) then it's up to the moderators to do THEIR job. They owe you nothing and they don't have to justify themselves.

Nope.

Yes, people can give honest opinions, as many of us do all the time. If your posts keep getting deleted, you might want to consider your tone, the topics you choose, and the words you use.

Freedom of speech is not what you (and many others) seem to think it is. Freedom of speech applies to the government, which cannot come and arrest you for most things you say or publish, but there are some exceptions even to that.

Freedom of speech does not apply to a private company, like QVC, which has every right to delete posts they don't want on their forums. Please let us know if you find yourself arrested for your opinions about fashion or products you see on QVC, as that would be an actual freedom of speech issue.

Freedom of speech also does not mean freedom of consequences of your speech, such as post deletion, being banned from a forum, or being publically shamed for your speech, as we so often see in the media these days.

I agree... their company... their rules. And there are plenty of other places to post whatever. This is not the place.

How about expressing your opinion in a way that does not use profanity, does not deliberately insult others, is not bigoted and does not involve political idealogy? People do it here all the time. The people who cannot, or more usually WILL not, and/or who think they should be able to say/do anything they please because no standards or rules ever apply to them, have the freedom to "express" on their own FB page and on unmoderated forums. Go for it.
