@1tuffcookie - I don't see anyone pressuring others "to lie in order to save the forums".

 

That's a pretty harsh accusation to make about other posters.

 

You've made it clear that you don't value the forums and that's your prerogative, but from your other comments, you still read a lot?  If you think QVC would do better to not finance them, I'm surprised you would spend time here. 

 

There are others who do value the forums and would like to see them stay, so they are responding to the survey.

 

That is not lying.  Just a different opinion from your own.


@Venezia Perfectly articulated. When I said it, it was taken out of context. You said it better. 👍🏻

Clearly, you haven't read all the posts in this forum on this subject.  (Edited to add:  There are posts outside of this forum on this subject that also prove my point.)

 

It's kind of sad that you feel such a need to question why people read here or participate here--especially if they don't align with your way of thinking.

 

I hope QVC considers that while some of its programming, inventory, and hosts turn people away from QVC, this community forum has also driven away viewers and customers.  Sure, a few may buy from QVC based on comments here, but it's also a fact that people avoid QVC based on experiences here in the community.

Why would someone stop buying from QVC because of something someone said to them on a forum?  Would you stop going to Macy's because a customer there said something to you that you didn't like?

What happens here in this community is a reflection on QVC. There are lots of people that have shared this community is one of the reasons they don't like QVC, and I think many of the examples they cited are valid criticism.  Of course, you won't read many of those stories here because they've either been moderated, or the people have decided to stop posting here, so they share their experiences elsewhere.

 

Atmosphere can certainly influence business.  I avoid going to certain restaurants and other local businesses, but choose others, for that reason.  I think lots of other people do the same.

 

I understand QVC has had to process some returns because it was a way for some people to protest something that happened in this community.

So people return items they ordered and would otherwise keep because they were offended by something someone said on the forum?  Seriously?   Sounds like they have more problems than elimination of the forums could solve.

Yes, seriously.  QVC has had to process returns as a result of things that have happened here in this community.  Boycotting has been an effective form of protest in this country, so I think it's an interesting approach.

I would miss it here very much.


 

Having worked in high up positions in the corporate world for 40 years, it's exactly why they are doing the survey.

So why not boycot the forums then?  What is really the point of this - to have the Q constantly monitor all the forums and shut down a post when someone says they don't like what someone else said - or just to silence everyone by shutting it all down?

@tiny 2   me too. I switched to a different browser and cleaned Cookies. Same result. I even filled it out a second time and at the end I got a window stating that the results wouldn't be counted because I had already taken the Survey.Then why does it keep popping up?
