The Q Just Looks Foolish - Page 3

Moonchilde · ‎05-23-2010

I think QVC revamped the forums to get rid of the contentious posts and posters. I don't think it had anything to do with creating a more progressive, improved, with-it forum.

The improvement for QVC is that the chronic complainers about everything under the sun on the old forum will not have an easy time here - by design, you betcha.

So I'm thinkin' that all who continually complained and bashed before, who are attempting to continue complaining, demanding, issuing ultimatums, threatening and snarking as usual - those are the posters QVC is happy to be rid of. They don't care if you go, and they don't care if you stop buying. The negativity and constant she-wars had become more of a liability than putting up with it. The new forums are the result.

Any changes they make will be gradual, and I don't think backing off on moderation is in the plans at all. It is what it is from now on. Throwing rotten fruit at it and catcalling won't change that.

OMG, stop the madness. No one is going to stop posting here. There may be other places to post, nothing wrong in that. I don't see why there has to be a tug of war.

I'm not so sure. Looks like lots of people have already stopped posting here.

shell--I could not agree more. I will spend less time here because of restrictions but others may spend more.

MOMOF4, I post on both. That is what I meant in no one will stop posting here and they shouldn't. I think we will post both places. Have a great rest of your night.

Maizeandblue - I know there are several of us that post both places, enjoy both places and the posters and will continue. I don't see why there has to be one or the other. Yes, these changes in the format here is not the best, but in the long run, if you basically like the posters or at least a majority of them, lol, then we will still come here. Have a good night.

and they have better emoties on those sites.

I think it depends on what you mean by "young people". The people you are describing sound like in their early 20's. Perhaps the OP meant someone older than that, yet still young?? Although I don't know how young people have to be to enjoy this forum AND at the same time have money, desire, AND taste to show on a shopping channel......

I took what the OP was referring to as young (in their early 20's). I started shopping at the Q in my earlier 20's (before the internet!!) but it was rare purchases.

Change for the sake of change isn't necessarily good. I don't know anyone old or young who would want to learn to read or post on a BB that jumps up and down. Just when one clicks on a topic the page jumps and opens something totally different from what was wanted.

Many if not most posters on the BB didn't learn computers in school, they are self taught and hardly resistant to learning new things.
