Missy1 - There were quite a number of negative posts...they just deleted the ones that were personal or religous attacks.

BTW - After a day or so - even the "pro thread" that I wrote was closed down.

Everyone had their say...and the moderators let us do so (while gently leading people away from personal attacks)...but now it's time to move on...it's not top of mind news anymore.

Posters have been worrying about QVC shutting it down for the last 10 years. I don't think that's going to happen.

missy1, posters could say they disagreed. But many posts in those disagreement threads included religion, politics and derogatory opinions of others. It has been very clearly stated that all three of those things are forum no-nos.

ITA, kittymomNC.

But I think an interesting dynamic has occured now that the moderators give the REASONS for their actions.

They seem quite agreeable to allowing current news comments for a day or so...they most strongly object to PERSONAL attacks.

I think it's been a VERY positive development - and the people who interject banned names, religion, overt politics - in an attempt to end ALL discussion - are being shut down pretty quickly.

I guess they find this frustrating! And they are lashing out.

I don't always agree with the mods' decisions either...but I think over time it will be a happier board.

Terrier, thank you, you have expounded very well on my comments. Some may take my post as a complaint, however that's not what it is at all. It's more a wake-up call... for the most part, I've enjoyed these boards for almost 3 years now and would hate to see them go away. But if some of these things are allowed to continue, I'm afraid the Q will give up on it. So far, I personally think the moderators are doing the best job they can... as I've said before, I wouldn't want to do their jobs!

And most boards have these same rules. In my experience they are more strictly enforced when there are more members. I have been on boards where it was a free for all and you can really lose respect for people you generally liked before.

You are right, moonchilde.

The mods were extremely specific as to what they were going to allow on that thread. History doesn't need to be re-written here making this something it was not. Many people saw the mods instructions and tried to direct people back to them in an effort to get them to understand.

The general people on the boards are very nice and with some good insights for the subject. Then there are some that get snarky to some posters for no reason than they are having a bad day. As far as subjects that are removed there is nothing anyone can do or say to bring it back. This is QVC's call. I seen some posters say good by they can't take it. That's ashame . I was on these boards back in the 90's . I was surprised when I joined again some of the nasty remarks people made about other poster's comments. It was like being back in school.I don't understand why we can't talk about current events on here. It is interesting to hear other views other than my own. Helps me to understand more. We all have our own viewpoints on things which is great and I feel in a respectful manner we should be able to express them. So to the ones that are giving up on the boards stay I'm sure you have so much to post about and you would be really missed. To the mods well if it is a interesting and respectful thread on current events would you let it stay? If you really think someone wrote offensive then delete them not the whole thread please.

Missy1 - There were PLENTY of comments on the thread disagreeing. The only ones removed were those that were personal or religious attacks...and discussed 2016 elections....all banned topics.

And ONCE AGAIN - even that thread that I started is now closed.

Please listen to what numerous posters have stated here - there were LOTS of negative comments.

Although I agreed with the ruling, I also think it was very unfair to those who disagreed not to be able to voice their opinions.

Frankly, I have never cared what consenting adults do in their personal lives as long as no one is being hurt.

Ford - they COULD disagree on my thread - just not insult people personally.
