As mentioned before, the threads were poofed because of the posters NOT the subject!

I totally disagree.

Much of what went down last night was not about the posters or the comments.

There seem to be the same few posters here that bait, intimidate, and hit that 'report' button on a regular basis, but even that hadn't been in full swing last night.

In the last couple of weeks I have watched thread after thread that had not yet become combative or overly political come down.

And then when 'political' or 'religous' no longer 'fit' to have threads removed, it becomes 'upsetting', then down they go.

I maintain that there needs to be a review of their rules, stronger definitions and restrictions if they wish, WRITTEN and posted here, then get ALL moderators on the same page, because inconsistency is the rule here right now.

This is not a general forum, it's a shopping forum....specifically a Q shopping forum. Therefore, discussion of world events, politics, religion, and so on doesn't pertain to the purpose of this forum. In fact, Q is being generous in allowing some threads that don't pertain to shopping and products, such as TV and book threads. Look elsewhere for a general purpose forum. IMO.

Shopping is not the sole discussion on the forum; there are many subjects discussed besides consumer goods and celebrity news. Heaven forbid posters have a discussion about world events.

Disagree. No, of course Pokemon in not more important. But I can understand why Q believes its shopping forum is not an appropriate place to discuss issues that are important.

I don't understand the need to post opinions here that mods deem inappropriate whether they are or not. Why the need to keep on and on about it? It's ridiculous.

I think the problem is arising because sometimes things are allowed and other times they are not. There is no consistency among the moderators and some individual mods seem to exhibit a lack of consistency as well.

I am asking for consistency, no matter what Q chooses to allow to be discussed. Some political/contentious/religious threads stand for 10 plus pages, and are very ugly, while others are taken down before anyone even comes close to stepping over the line.

Something as mundane as the appropriate length of a ladies skirt can be turned political or religious (and here it can happen very quickly!), so it won't all go away. But maybe it would be better to remove the Community Chat forum all together. It is too broad, and just invites arguments.

Of course many will simply invade the more specific and kinder forums and wreck them and I always felt Community Chat was here just to keep the hot button topics out of the other areas.

I can understand the rules/standards but I've seen, as other's, within an innocent thread, certain posts poofed because of religious terminology yet requests for prayers & such continue and aren't poofed.

Maybe about last night's tragedy should be posted in Among Friends. Whether the words are posted or not, we all know where our hearts are. To be honest, the Q needs to lighten up, civil conversations can and have been held here.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why if the Q is so adamant that there are no religious threads at all of any kind, whatsoever, absolutely, positively, 100% isn't allowed at all, under any circumstances, why then some prayer request threads are allowed to stay, and why Gloria Jean's daily threads in the "Friends" forum is allowed?

All I am asking is why.

It isn't wrong to want to know why QVC appears to be so hypocritical in their enforcing of that "rule".

And telling people to find other boards is a non answer.

In fact, it is evading the answer.

So, without evading the question, without telling people to post elsewhere, answer the question of why the Q allows some prayer threads to stay, and not others.

I don't think that I'm asking for a lot, just an answer to my question.

That's all.

Oh, and btw, I was 100% sincere in my Sorry thread.

As I said, I'm just asking a simple.question, and just want an answer.

If GJ and other requesting prayer threads became contentious they would be poofed also. I know they are against standards, just answering your one particular question.

Problem is, though, that lately threads are removed BEFORE they become contentious.

There is a tendency lately to jump the gun, and shut the threads before anything even gets a chance to happen.

It seems to me that there has been a pattern as well, to let stand the mean and baiting posts, but remove people (responses) who argue the other side, or call them out for it. It often seems like the same few posters have some 'in' with the mods and get away, over and over, with baiting, insulting, and piling on.

I believe that it was the totality of the threads last night that were the issue.

Things, in total, were going south ruleswise, and therefore any and all threads on the matter were impacted.

But that's just it, it wasn't "contentious".

I was asking for prayers for the victims and people of France after the horrific attack.

I specifically asked that politics be kept out of the thread.

The reason that was given was that the reason for prayers was "upsetting" to some people.

How in the world can asking for prayers for the victims, their families, be "upsetting"?

I thought that I was doing something nice, and heartfelt.

If people can't handle a simple prayer request for the victims and their families after a terrorist attack, then we have become a nation of wimps.

Oh, and if I recall correctly, there was a prayer request for the victims and their families after the Orlando nightclub attack, which was allowed to stay.
