Enough "moderating"

hyacinth003 — Sun, 04 Jun 2017 04:01:44 GMT

Geez, when is enough, enough? I make a post and someone DECIDES it is a duplicate. Well, I didn't know it, so maybe others don't. SO WHAT IS THE HARM?

I am getting ready NOT to post here anymore after many years - way before "moderating."

No politics, religion, now that I can understand. Trying to make some OCD board is ridiculous. Maybe the columns should line up too. Wrong place, wrong time, not cheery enough, unkind, inappropriate, demeaning, mean, not nice to hosts, etc etc.

Suggestion - back off the OCD moderating. It isn't kindergarten. Sure, your rules, but alienate people and they don't log on to qvc.com so much.

Geez.

I think maybe it was poofed, but I could be wrong. Another reason is because it keeps the board less congested. No need to take it personally.

Not really, that Birchbox thread was started and moved by Mods but I can still see the original. How is that less congested?

The Moderating is inconsistent and annoying. There are days I just don't bother checking the Forum at all.

I strongly object to your throwing the OCD term around. Many, many people suffer from OCD and it's not a term that should be used like this. Come up with something different next time-

Kindergarten is where you learn to play nice.

I guess the OP didn't think that a TV personality didn't belong in the TV and Movies forum where there was already a LONG thread about the very same subject. Funny thing is that the OP posted on that thread before starting hers in CC, hmmm.

@hyacinth003

I totally agree with the inconsistencies of the moderators - especially Beth who seems to have it out for me. A couple days ago I asked the readers if they noticed that one of the people posting in the fashion section of the forum - and posting along with pictures of the items to be sold on HSN - couldn't possibly be the same person who is selling their fashions on HSN. It was a simple question I was asking and Beth removed it because it wasn't appropriate? Excuse me....there was nothing wrong with asking a question which should have been very obvious to readers. Some junk they let go on and on.....this will be my last post because the forum is very political and biased to what the image of QVC should be!

Yes, you seem unhappy here. Best to find new forums to post on that are more favorable to you.

Am I reading this Correctly? You thought someone posting pics in Fashion was a vendor?

I completely understand why an accusation like that was removed..

Nononoooooo!

Your post flat-out accused a poster (whom I do not even like) by name of being a celebrity seller by name as if it was a fact, and you wondered why the moderators didn't do something about it, put a stop to it, why they allowed it, etc.

Outside of being ridiculous (what celebrity has time to do that, or would, seriously?) it was very inflammatory and stridently accusing.

Beth did good, IMO. That's the type of post that should be deleted. And no I didn't report it, but I did wait to see how long it was up. Not long :-)

debic — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 12:29:51 GMT

LOL, I have to wonder why some people are even here? Personally I'd rather have a over moderated board than one that is not moderated at all.

@debic

Exactly!!!

If people are so unhappy with the moderation of these boards, then they are free to find another board that is to their liking, or, even create one of their very own, where they can moderate it exactly how they see fit!

No one is forcing them to stay here, or even post here.

It's a choice that they themselves make to do that.

@Moonchilde, it's funny how your version is so different. The first version seemed so innocent. LOL

Re: Enough "moderating"

proudlyfromNJ — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 16:28:04 GMT

@Lipstickdiva. LOL, that's the way they do it. Tell you how innocent their post was, and "oh, poor me, I was poofed".

Then you you find out or have seen for yourself the true story. I see posters say they were just giving their opinion. Sometimes I was there and saw their opinion and it was super nasty and scathing. Big difference than an innocent opinion.

Thank you Moonchild for the true story.

Re: Enough "moderating"

Moonchilde — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 17:17:03 GMT

I rarely see the Original Post when something like this occurs, though I have seen times when the same thing has happened - why was my sweet innocent post deleted - and have read the "um, no, this is what your post actually said..." posts from others. I just happened to have seen this one - in part because I've noticed, shall we say, this person's posts before.

BalletBabe — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 23:45:23 GMT

No moderating???? You have to be kidding. I guess you didn't see what went on here on Christmas day?? This board definitly needs moderating.

I too have wondered why something I said was deleted at times. I also have had things deleted that was a duplicate, and there is no way to know that unless you live here like some. I can say this, that you can search the suject to see if it was already discusssed.

I think the Moderators have a very difficult job. I personally think they do a great job and need to be appreciated for keeping these boards under control. I saw one person recently slamming Beth. I personally think Beth does a good job. I have seen posts and wondered why they were not shut down and noticed that a few days later they were shut down by Beth. I think that happens when she is off, because as soon as she is back poof!

Re: Enough "moderating"

catwhisperer — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 00:29:49 GMT

@BalletBabe...I have yet to understand why some posts are removed, while some posters are allowed to post "unkind", "argumentative", etc. posts on a daily basis and get away with it. I do agree, though, that the moderators do have a tough job.

Edited to add that there a couple of Mods who do interact with us in fun to lighten things up, which I appreciate, and I'm sure others do as well.

I would hope they can focus their efforts on moderating and not giving information on QVC programs or products. I replied to a moderator who gave out incorrect information on jewelry and recieved no response. The moderators represent the company and should be accountable for accuracy.
