I've been saying this (with a lot more words ${#emotions_dlg.blushing}$ ) for such a long time now: don't attack the poster, attack the topic. It's amazing to see how well a discussion goes when that happens.

That doesn't work here because too many feel they are personally attacked when others simply disagree with them on a topic.

They can't handle disagreement and see it as a personal attack rather than just another viewpoint.

We can't have rational, civil discussions when some find insults where none exist.

Another example of how language has both positive and negative power, so "It's not what you say, it's the way you say it".

I just posted a comment, and it was deleted almost immediately!

If qvc doesn't appreciate an honest opinion, what is the point of even having a public forum?

The negative posts we are most concerned with are the posts that are nasty (i.e. personal attacks). Community members are welcome to share a negative review about a product or brand, unhappiness with programming, and even share displeasure with a host. But nasty comments will be removed and may result in the author being permanently banned. Those who took the survey share our interest in removing the nasty comments directed towards fellow Community members and hosts, see the results here.

My thought is this: If the network can take on the bilious Joan Rivers, of all people, it should be able to withstand a few blunt opinions.

Can anyone say 'hypocritical?'

It's a private board. Their board, their rules. I don't stress over it.

I personally think maybe they need to train some of their moderators to understand the context when they're deciding to delete something. I posted pictures of cats with signs hanging around their necks that were so funny, but the signs had the word "femi*nism" on them...this was on the "Just Cat Pictures" thread that has 7,362 replies, not a single one of which is in any way controversial or mean. But they said the pictures were perceived as trying to "spark controversy" so they were deleted...how anyone could look at that thread and think that is beyond me. It's 7,000 pictures of cats with a few other comments (very nice ones) in between! ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$ ${#emotions_dlg.w00t}$

Did you contact them for an explanation or was an explanation sent to you? I really hope they contacted you; getting explanations for deletions/poofs would be very helpful in defining Q's limits.

Maybe White Sparrow was right!!! Maybe the Mods ARE Bots...????!!!
