Well, for sure a few things are quite obvious when it comes to the category of VIEWPOINTS.

It has had a long-term reputation for being the most opinionated, meanest, snarkiest, and most rude thread among all in these Community Forums. This seems to be where the biggest haters hate, and the loudest controversies are maintained.

However, it isn't always with merit, as more often than not these conversations are riddled with the most ignorant of opinions and use of the English language.Now I am not speaking of everyone who posts here, but rather a larger majority over the year's that I have been following these threads.

More arguing and spiteful remarks take place here than on any other threads CONSISTENTLY. It also seems like a lot of remarks made here are more based on opinion than fact, as there is seldom evidence of true fact or information to support what is often stated her, but arguments ensue anyway. Then the name calling and character assassination begin.

But what I truly see is lopsided the most comes from the moderator(s). It does seem that over time the Webmasters do allow a lot more lenience in rule breaking of the Standards than anywhere else on the forum. I don't have a clear reason why this occurs, but this also is consistent.

I wouldn't be surprised if this post isn't deleted, but then I may be sending a copy to the office of the President of QVC, as I don't think it fair to anyone when standard rules only apply to a favored few.

I'm constantly hoping for change for the better. We all deserve a fair turn in life.

Blessings.

some of what you have written is......well it's insulting at the very least.........but also, some of what you've written is quite accurate.........ironic isn't it.........your post is a lot like the moderation of this board.....................................................raven

My thoughts too...

why does it have to be "facts"? It's VIEWPOINTS.

Doesn't have to be facts. however, if posting on a topic that requires facts, along with a viewpoint, it helps with not spreading misinformation

we see that all the time here. Sometimes, people have an irrational fear of something and others will post some stats or factual information to help dispel the fear/misinformation. Usually other posters are happy to see the facts, but not the person who had posted the misinformation.

This board is entertainment. It's a place to share thoughts and connect with people.

We have no rights here. They provide this board.

yep. Now, it would be good if they listened to their members, otherwise, the members will leave for other boards.

that said, if people want to discuss certain things that are against the standard without it being removed, they really do need to find more boards to post on that allow that. I know we discuss things that are against the standards and because of that, I don't cry about it when it is removed.

I have posts that get removed all the time. I am not going to whine about it. The moderation isn't consistent, but I suspect that it's up to each individual on duty to made the decision about what stays and what goes.

There is a certain familiarity and camaraderie that draws me here.

It would be nice if there were a clear-cut set of rules in place and some sort of a warning system so people would know what's allowed and what's not. But I doubt that will happen.

Yes, I think that is why people get upset , not rules, but that they are very inconsistent about enforcing them.

Me, too. I think our warning system is when our post comes up missing. Mornin' b and brii.
