These Boards Are Too Censored

I just posted a topic that got poofed. There was no profanity in it. I guess you are not allowed to speak about the rights of people in regard to their differences!

Profanity is not the only reason for a poofed thread.

If the subject was controversial or political, it will be removed.

I am SUPER political on my Facebook feed and follow many political or activist groups on my feed. That's my place to say whatever I want and people can follow me, friend me, or not. My Facebook page is my house, my rules. My friends have control over what they see on their own walls if they don't like what I am saying and can turn my posts off on their own walls.

Here on the forums, this is not my house. This is QVC's house. And QVC has many guests who agree with me and many who do not. They no longer have an ignore feature, so we can't simply turn off the posts we don't like or want to see. That means QVC has a heavier burden as our hosts to make sure that everyone feels welcome, which means they get rid of controversial topics that some people feel very passionate about and don't want to see.

I'm okay with that. In QVC's house, I abide by their rules because I know that I can go back to my Facebook house and say whatever I want in my house.

AND, if some clique that exists here and there definitely is one - doesn't like you or your thread, they report their 'offense'. Doesn't seem right does it. If it was really checked into, then those posters need to be permanently banned.

You would think with all the changes to these boards, and not for the better, they would be grateful for the activity! I think al lot of people have shied away since the changes. I know I don't visit and respond here much anymore.

I saw your post, Jordan. Similar posts have been permitted before. Maybe it depends on who's in charge at the time ?

I agree, There is no rhyme or reason as to what goes and stays.

is that the one with the confederate flag vs cosby's bust?

I can see why that would be taken down - the confederate flag and discussions around it are a no-no here.
