Studio Park Line

Daffney — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 05:45:13 GMT

I commented on the Studio Park Line. The only responses I received were from Honored Contributors and a Super Contributor. After clarifying my point, questioning their status, and referencing the backgrounds of many hosts, my post was taken down. My original message with their responses remained. Did I hit a nerve?

@Daffney Why would you question the veracity of your fellow forum posters?

And....by the way....DO NOT CHALLENGE THE MODERATORS. It is not acceptable behavior on these boards. di

I question their veracity because 4 out of 6 reponses sound very professional.

What determines a Honored Contributor and Super Contributor?

Why was my last post clarifying my point and commenting on the hosts' bios removed? They are public on your website. Considering their content, I wonder why?

And, who are you?

@Daffney

Who are you? What an odd question on an anonymous message board from a new poster.

Many of us are long time QVC customers that have posted on here for a very long time.

We have cultivated friendships and had many meaningful (and some times "spirited") conversations. At times, the advice has been invaluable.

The date under your photo says you signed up in 2019, so I'm guessing you might need to re-read the Standards and Guidelines for posting here. A lot of questions will be answered.

If you want even more information, google "message board etiquette" and read the guidelines there.

Have a good evening.

Still, my questions go unanswered.....why?

the studio park line is to sell more fashion. the hosts who like fashion probably like to 'design' their own fashion line. most people that like fashion would be thrilled to have their own 'design'. As to the older contributors answering you they are very protective of the qvc viewpoint and will come to their defense quickly.

i personally wish qvc would allow people to criticize the hosts and the shows iinstead of deleting the posts. It would be a more interesting read if they would.

I can't answer your question because I didn't see what you wrote. I don't understand why someone would want to comment on a hosts bio though. Were you being disrespectful? If that's the case it wasn't an issue of "hitting a nerve" but rather being a bully. Like I said before, I didn't read what you wrote. However, I'm certainly not going to feel sorry for you when there are red flags here.

I answered your question last night but don't know why it was taken down. It's a very simple answer--the designations change based on how many posts one has. There's nothing nefarious about it

@Daffney

I didn't see your last post in your previous thread so I can not comment on that.

I was one of the "Honored Contributors" to that thread. What determines the different titles posters are awarded is simply their number of posts. I can't speak to the specific cutoff points, but as one accumulates more posts their level changes. It's reasonable to assume that the people that "talk" the most here would be some that would respond to you. Just that simple. No conspiracy.

Aside from the posts that are clearly labeled as being a QVC employee in their nickname--i.e. the moderators--everyone posting here is a visitor to the QVC site, nothing more. Most are or have been Q customers although all you need to post here is an account with QVC.

The moderators have complete discretion about what gets posted and what gets deleted. It may not always make sense to some, but those are the rules. It can get frustrating at times when someone is truly confused. Questioning why a thread or post gets deleted will most often cause that thread/post to be deleted too.

I've tried to answer you questions as best I know, but I confess I'm rather confused about some of what seems to be troubling you. I hope someone else can help you further.

Seriously @abbeydabby ??

There are plenty of threads all over these boards that criticize hosts...and many just nasty, personal attacks with no constructive suggestions.

If I were a Mod, I'd be deleting a lot more! LOL

I don't find them to be an 'interesting read' at all.

@Daffney

Hi,

The posters here have no control or input regarding their status, like honored or respected. It's according to whatever the QVC forum software determines. I can tell you that when my number of posts recently exceeded 2000, my status changed. So I can guess that the ranking changes by the number of posts. We can't say for sure because it's a QVC software program thing.

I sort of remember your post mentioning the hosts and their backgrounds but I don't remember exactly what it was about. Maybe that they are not fashion designers? Not sure.

The hosts have their own sort of style when they are on TV. I can't say if it is for real, or how they dress on TV is to portray a specific character, like your best friend, your cool sister or aunt, your loving mother, your darling daughter, etc., to make you feel comfortable, someone you can relate to, to encourage you to spend. There are a few hosts that resemble how I dress in real life, and some, no way. So I would say that the Studio Park line represents the fashion style of the host. Personally, the only Studio Park line I liked so far was Leah's.

Hope that answers your questions. Have a great day.

1) Along with replies on your thread from Honored and Super contributors, you received a couple of responses from newer contributors including one who only had eight posts.

2) Fellow posters here can't tell you why your post was taken down because we didn't take it down. The moderators removed it. So pose the question to them if you dare or care to...send private email to social.team@qvc.com. The best guess is your post fell into the category of unkind to the host. Those never fly here and are taken down on a regular basis. It happens to the best of us.

3) My understanding is that the status/level (whatever you want to call it) of posters here is based on the number of posts they have. And the number of hearts their posts have been given may play a part, as well. There have been numerous threads in the long ago past trying to figure out just how it works. I don't think anyone knows for sure...not even QVC. Ha! But none the less, it's their board, their game, their rankings, their rules.

4) The Studio Park line obviously is just another way QVC is trying to market and sell apparel...mystery solved. If you like a certain host and their style maybe you will buy items they helped ~~design~~ come up with. If you don't like the concept, lump it. Who cares!

5) Lastly, and another obvious one, this is an anonymous board. You asked, "Who are you?" The same can be asked right back at you, @Daffney. The people here are only who they tell you they are and we all know that can be the truth or fiction or somewhere in between. Again, if you don't like this aspect of the forums, lump it and move on someplace else. No need for snarkasm.

Well, @Daffney, questioning things about hosts may get you in hot water here, not only with moderators, but also with some members who like those hosts.

It's possible some hosts read our comments and QVC doesn't want them to see negative discussions concerning them.

Unfortunately, some newer members (me a little over 2 years) learned the policies by seeing what was removed, from other members, etc, because QVC's policies were not available on the left under Standards for awhile. I gave up looking for them. I just looked the other day to see them there when one of my threads was removed for the reason why. I thought I had followed all the rules.

If I understand correctly, you wanted to know how QVC determines who is an Honored or Super Contributor, I don't know. It appears to be about how many posts a member made on the Forum.

I haven't tried anything in the Studio Park line, so I don't know anything about it.

Anyway, welcome to the Forum.

@Daffney The titles you see under peoples' names are meaningless and apparently came with a software package. We've never seen then defined and generally ignore them. They seem to roughly correlate with the number of posts written.

We, who participate here, are customers only. Management is not represented and doesn't participte. So we are not in a position to answer questions pertaining to the original purpose of the Studio Park Collection.

It seems most hosts took items they liked that they owned and with the help of QVC buyers and designers, they were copied and probably modified. The hosts are not designers and are not qualified to independently create new styles without professional help.

Any other questions?

Gosh, this board is just a way for shoppers to share messages, tips, and opinions. Originally there was a lot more discussion about QVC products--now there are all kinds of topics! I shopped QVC for decades before I even bothered once to look at any of these comments.

Now in life I am not as busy, so I have more time to "waste" on online efforts, because it can be fun to share.

My understanding is that both the number of posts and possibly hearts received gives you your forums' status (by the computer?). We also receive a separate status for the number of reviews we write on purchased products.

I think it is great that all the QVC hosts who want to can dip their toes into exploring fashion design--why not? They sell clothes every day so certainly they have some ideas! I will say I am more of a traditionalist, so I do not wear too much trendy stuff like some of the Studio Park Line showcases.

I also think it is rude to say unkind things about hosts--until we have tried to do that job and be successful, we cannot judge. I, for one, could never sell vaccum cleaners, or food, or even make-up--nor do I watch any of those types of shows.

Yes, if you violate the rules of the boards you posts will be taken down and you could possibly be banned. This boards are a "free" service from QVC, and last year they were almost shut down permanently.

We want to enjoy sharing with each other and we do not need to have unpleasant elements ruin that opportunity. If you do not like the responses you receive here, find something else more meaningful in life to do.

In the end, is it not just a group of anonymous

Re: Studio Park Line

Daffney — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 20:22:55 GMT

I encourage you to read the hosts' bios...backgrounds in theatre, broadcasting, and psycology. I did not even state this; I only referred to the bios.

Is stating an opinion a red flag?

If so, what is the purpose?
