Many people find CNN's turn to partisanship to be distressing. And believe it or not, "controversial". But that is no reason to shut something down. I have noticed over time, that there are some on the boards who repeatedly visit threads they don't like, and try to get them shut down, and try to silence the poster. Things are said that in my opinion are unkind, and even defamatory at times to me, to other people as well.

Not good, in my opinion.

@Oznell

If you don't like how the mods run these boards, then you are free to scour the internet and find chat rooms/boards that have little, to no moderation, and you can let your freak flag fly as high as you want.

Or, you can create your very own chat board, and run it exactly as you see fit.

Until then, this is QVC's sandbox, and as such, there rulrs.

Again - the CNN thread isn't political - it's filled with juvenile pics. If it was political, it would be poofed.

Well now she knows she can use the report button as her own personal chat button.

@Oznell, You're welcome. Certainly it's our choice whether or not to use the report feature, and that's been the topic of many lively 😀 threads. The fact remains that we're part of the community, and the guidelines ask us to use it if we feel something is inappropriate so I'm not going to judge those who do so:

"Report Inappropriate content - We work very hard to keep conversations friendly, engaging, helpful, and productive - with your best interests at heart. We don’t read every discussion so we ask for your help by flagging inappropriate comments for our review."

If we don't want to be part of the problem and we do want to be part of the solution, wouldn't it make sense to first think about what we are doing if our own posts or threads are frequently removed (rather than blaming others)? And secondly, if we have significant concerns shouldn't we give voice to them either by posting on the thread we question or, perhaps, by using the report feature? If we feel strongly but do nothing... well, I guess I don't understand that. Just my opinion, but the example of the CNN thread compared to repeated threads about political figures, political commentators, etc., isn't an equitable one.

Also, once we know certain people or topics are consistently deleted, it makes no sense to keep trying to start threads about them, in my opinion. If they're deleted, it's not because certain posters didn't like them -- it's because the Moderators deemed them to be violations.

Few things reveal your intellect and your generosity of spirit—the parallel powers of your heart and mind—better than how you give feedback.~Maria Popova

@truffle

Yup, now that she knows how to contact the mods, she should never have to ask how ever again.

*wink*

I was just told how to report something, "report Inappropriate". But I don't want to disturb anyone's fun enjoying the CNN thread. Just because I don't agree, I don't want to shut it down. So how do I report what I believe are unjust but successful attempts on the part of some posters to shut speech down? There is a little group that seems to haunt my threads, with "accusations", hoping to snuff out speech.

Oh dear.

Is there another CNN thread that I missed? The only one I saw is about the meteorologists reports and the hunky weather men. We may snip at each other here and there, but I see no attempt to shut down free speech.

If it's another thread, please point me in the right direction.

@Oznell

Your comment above re: what you see as partisanship smells to high heaven of politics.

You aren't fooling anyone.

Though it obviously has worked for you and a few others I don't think it works for everyone.

Rhetorical question, why would the mods want to be bothered with chats when they have banned people for using the report button for what it was originally designed. A person could hit report on three people in a thread and be banned for over use as others have categorically stated happened to them. Can't trust them to not do the same for using report as a chat button, imo. But hey knock yourselves out.

I suppose, discussions like this become pointless, after a time. We each have our distinctive points of view. I will simply say that politics is in the eye of the beholder, and I frequently see political digs and comments in these threads.

Have a good evening, all.

All you have to do is look at your own posts to see a political dig. There's one right above @Oznell
