Best bet is to contact the brand chief for the company if you feel that what is posted is of a bullying, racist or body shaming vein, for example. It might be time for an update to the rules. 

Posts are taken down because fellow posters report them. Moderation is alerted and they don't have the time to sift through all the posts to get context, so down it goes.

Sometimes it is also helpful to take a break, because this little community can be toxic on occasion.

And what update might YOU propose?  From what I've seen here over the years, if you were in charge the bullying and racism claims would only be deemed important & worthy of reporting when they pertain to a certain couple that's been a big topic here.  I've seen plenty of mean posts toward hosts on the boards. In addition to criticisms of the main hosts, two hosts I like that I've seen this happen to are Monifa Days & Rachel Boesing. Why weren't you complaining about bullying and racism--and reporting--when that went on?  I guess they don't matter.

There is a thread right now criticizing Jane Tracy but I don't see any of the die hard fans of the lovely couple defending her.  Where is the letter writing campaign to board members for the hosts.  I agree with you about them not mattering.

Many who post on the H&M threads in Community Chat, including myself, do not look at all of the threads and/or forum topics.

Yes @lgfan, their silence is deafening and they care not when it comes to Q hosts or anyone else. But boy they're spitting fire and the claws come out as soon as you know who is mentioned.  And then it's REPORT, REPORT, REPORT!

@KKJ  Many of us, myself included, have limited time to come to this board to read and/or post.  Many are unable or do not care to post day after day on certain topics.

I do not have time to read every thread when here and I do not watch QVC.  I am not familiar with several of the hosts.

If you have witnessed racism and bullying of hosts, have you taken the initiative to notify the mods?  You seem to be under the impression posters responding on one thread need to do their due diligence on other threads.

Do your part to clean up the snark on the board instead of contributing to it.

It's disappointing when interesting posts with a lot of participation disappear. For that reason, I'm hesitant to post. I find it an insult to those who have given thought and their time to participate.

I couldn't agree more. Hard to continue posting knowing it will be deleted. Were it up to me, only the most egregious posts and subject matter would be candidates for deletion. In my opinion, heavy and uneven monitoring promote boards that become rather tedious and moribund. Obviously, it isn't up to me, so I post sparingly these days.

Many posters may have limited time to come on these boards but they certainly do have enough time to read every thread/post about a certain couple.  Take your own advice about cleaning up the snark on the board instead of contributing to it.

@lgfan   I will ask the same question...as much as you sit on this board do YOU report the bullying and racism of hosts you witness here?

You mention countless times about others doing it...what about YOU?

I am not the one complaining about bullying and racism.  It is the fans of the lovely couple.  To answer your question yes, I have reported some posts/threads in the past if the content is inappropriate.

Wow, you hit the nail on the head @lgfan. Wish I could give 1,000 likes. I find it funny the superfans of the couple use this lame excuse for not having the same outrage of criticism of hosts/others as "I'm not on the boards that much or "I don't read all the threads". What I've also found interesting is yes, you won't see them post for awhile but it's like they're lurking in the background just waiting for a thread/post critical of H&M and then--BOOM--they pounce on it! (which is rather disturbing when you think about it)  And I find it very condescending & not true when they claim they're rarely on the boards but then just happen to show up right when a thread or post comes up about the controversial pair and then proceed to spew their vitriol toward anyone who dares even mention the controversial pair. What a joke!

ETA:  Also ridiculous is they'll express how upset they are after reading pages & pages of these posts. Huh?  Then why read them?

Exactly.  Racism and bullying cannot be applied only to one couple and be excluded towards other individuals.  Some people are beyond superfans.  They never have anything bad to say about the lovely couple.  I understand admiring certain individuals but no one is perfect.
