Thanks, I looked, but didn't see it...

Looks like they took the trouble to delete all the political posts.

One thread that gets just a little argumentative about a topic, of all things, autoimmune disease, and gets closed down.

Another thread that is clearly political and about a hideous topic, and is still humming along.

Hi Ford1224,

Don't know if you remember me posting that after one of my "what I thought to be innocent" posts was poofed, I wrote and e-mail to QVC. I did get a response and even they replied "we do not know why your post was removed, and have put it back up in it's proper forum".

This makes me think that many making these decisions are made subjectively and using that as a guide?

Not sure what thread it is to which you are referring.

Yes, I remember your post, hckynut.

The thread I'm referring to is still up. It's the one about the newest beheading by ISIS. It was getting extremely political, naming names of presidents, etc., just what we are NOT supposed to do. Somebody up there must like it because all they did was delete the blatantly political posts, the rest of it is still active.

Yes, I think the board monitoring is very subjective and it definitely leans a certain way.
