Re: why is it that certain posts get poffed ?

Kitty Galore, as long as I've been a member here, I've read posts and threads in which someone will state that a particular host seems to be protected. Often, if not always, that host in question is one that the commenter dislikes, usually quite strongly.

So I think it's just that when a person dislikes a host, they tend to notice the deletions, whereas they forget that critical threads about ANY host often devolve to the point where the Standards are being breached and stuff gets reported and poofed.

To make a long story interminable, no host is favored or protected or anything of the sort. QVC is a multimillion-dollar business. They really don't have time for our little dramas here. Besides, they kind of like all their hosts. And they put up with our nonsense and gossip and nastiness because these forums still generate business for them. That's the only reason these boards are here.

And don't ever use the word ztuf (spelled backwards). Your thread will immediately be "poffed". I ztuf around all the time, don't know about you. Isn't that what we do here on the boards?

Re: why is it that certain posts get poffed ?

I have to wonder why it appears that some folks are ""protected"" regardless of what they post while any post that takes issue with them gets deleted. That always leaves me scratching my head.
