She was banned because a post with the CEO's address was deleted and she had no idea somone else had posted it before her and it was zapped.

 

She got banned for reposting a deleted post...she had no idea she did this because it was deleted before she saw it.

@Pearlee    Hopefully, you will check out the new board.  I would miss your input if you were not there.

 

Everyone is welcome!

 

It is coming along nicely considering it is only 2 days old.

 

@Mersha  Am I supposed to believe this?

Odd that posters are banned for relocation help when we're no longer wanted here. Actually, if QVC were gracious, or wished to appear to care, they would have posted other forum options and links to them, but instead of donating us they have just put us out on the curb..

@Carmie   I don't know about you but I think we will have more fun over there and we will be able to not get banned or our posts deleted for dumb reasons.

QVC was gracious for giving us a month's notice that the board would be shutting down.  

 

They are deleting live links to the new board.  That is not allowed.  If they delete something and someone reposts it, you risk getting banned.

@fthunt  When you register on Proboards, they ask you for your birth date and for your name. Are those available to the public?


No no one can see them and I personally registered my name BalletBabe as my first name as well.  I made up a Birth Date.  I do that on all forums. 


@BalletBabe  How do you know no one can see them. Not even mellyg? How are you certain?


I am an administrator for the new boards.  I can see the member's e-mail address and birthdates.  i still have no way of knowing who those people are.

 

If your e-mail is listed as ABC@Gmail.com that doesn't tell me anything.  You do not need to put on your correct date of birth..you can put in anything you like...make yourself younger, if you wish.

 

I would NEVER compromise anyone's personal info.  I worked in a very sensitive job with access to a lot of private info for 25 years and never told anyone anything I learned.

 

I trust the other mods to be the same way.  If there is a breach of private info, out you go.  There is zero tolerance for that...period.

Well I am just assuming because of being a Moderator myself in a few places.  But your right I don't know 100%.  What I do is this to protect myself.  I have a gmail that I use just for boards like that.  (Not my main email)  Then I put in fake infor.  such as BD  first and last name.  I learned that from a family member that is into cyber crime

@Pearlee I read one poster warned another to remove link to proboards ASAP - Mods were banning posters for it.

 

Lady who posted link really helped me get on pro - I called her a Hero for the week.


Why would they ban them??  Are we not supposed to find a place to go since we are all friends???  I can see why many have already left.   My Christmas shopping will not be here this year. 


Posting links and solicitations are both against terms of use.

@BalletBabe 


@Pearlee  Oh I see but couldn't they at least get a warning the first time?  Maybe they didn't know that?

It sounds good on paper.  I'm just hoping and praying that everyone adults and doesn't cross any lines.  I would sure hate to have to warn or ban anyone.  I will if I have to, but oh goodness..I just hope everyone has fun and doesn't cause any problems.

 

We want a respectable place no matter what. So far, everyone has been great!
