Re: how would YOU change & improve the Q Community... - Page 6

I wouldn't change the QVC boards at all. Not one little bit. A board is what it's contributor's want it to be. The posters shape a board. I belong to other boards and FB so if the time came when I didn't like this board anymore, I'd just stop coming here. I admit, it's certainly "different" because it's so heavily censored that posters can't really discuss much but I think that's because so many posters here are older women and they have no or limited exposure to social media of any type. They want "safe" (whatever that means) and they want rules and this board gives that to them.

This is one of the most far-fetched, condescending and insulting posts I've read in quite a while.

If someone says something I don't like, I tend to either ignore it or let them know how I feel. I think I must have a built in ignore button in my brain so don't feel the need to click the one here! I can't remember a time I felt the need to hit the ignore button or report anyone. Once a long time ago, I think I did hit a button by accident. I was very green when it came to computers at the time and learning how to do all this forum stuff. I just don't see the need to report to the Mods what they can see for themselves. Once in a while we may disagree with them, but, on the whole, they are there to do what QVC asks of them.

Lately, I have seen, what seems to me, more challenging of the Mods than usual. I don't like to see that. We don't always see the whole picture. Maybe there's something I am missing here but just speaking for myself.....we all need to hang a little more loose!

As other have stated, a block feature would do quite a bit to add enjoyment to the board. Blocking someone works VERY well; eventually, the truly obnoxious are blocked by so many that the number of posts they can see dwindle down to VERY few. It's also a sign to the mods that this person has some "issues" that causes a large percentage of members to block them and perhaps, they need to go.

A political board would be great if it meant people would actually stay there regarding that subject. It's also a forum that could get ugly very quickly and cross over to other forums; I've seen that too many times to count on other sites. Then again, once that happens, you can block the person. Sadly, someone that decides to hunt you on other threads will usually start threats about you so.....yeah, it can get ugly.

It's annoying when posters quote things over and over in order to make their point. At some point, I wish they were told that their time on a thread was done and they should move on. Not a total ban, but just lay off and let others post. I'm sure we've all been to a meeting (town hall, work, church) and someone kept going on and on until the chairperson said "enough".

@chrystaltreeBoy, did you hit the nail on the head. I'm one of the older ladies and I totally agree with your view. There are a handful of older women on these boards who take offense to just about everything. I don't have a problem with that as long as it doesn't affect me, but it does. Can you imagine adults who want to ban other adults from posting because they find their views rude and deem them nasty! The boards are here for all of us, not just for the 22.

I would like to see a "3 strikes you're out rule" ... if three or more people "report" you, then ban that poster for 6 months. That would stop those who "bully" others. I understand there are opposing views, but that's not what I'm talking about. I think we all know the difference.
@Mona_L

You are essentially endorsing a gang up on a poster you deem to be a bully.

That sounds like bully behavior.

You would be the first to "go" Kitty!

Thank you. I'm not 'old' nor do I require safety attached to the censorship here, lol.

One of my favorite quotes, from Michelangelo at the end of his life, is "I am still learning." That surely is me, and I hope it is you, as well. I am a retired 73 year old woman. While I could not go to college at the traditional age, I later began and completed a four year degree, started when my youngest child began school. I am a lifelong learner, who reads a newspaper every day, reads Time once a week, and watches assorted news shows. I can assure you that I am still interested in issues and the world around me. In fact, my DH at 77 (also a continuing learner) and I recently went to a rally in support of two people unfairly targeted for deportation. It was largely attended, even by some clergy and one of our state senators. They received a "stay," safe for now, as having to go back to North Korea would have been pretty ugly.

I am also a reader, not too much of "fluff." I like biographies and serious topics. Waiting for me are "Fascism, A Warning" by Madeleine Albright and "The Soul of America" by Jon Meacham.

We are fortunate to have two grandchildren, a boy of 10 and a girl of 5. I call them the joy of our old age. We raised two children, now in their 40s, likely older than you. We have made our share of mistakes, but I think we have gained wisdom.

I do hope you may reconsider lumping old people in the same pot. I try never to do that to young people, as you folks are the future of our country and our world.

Peace to you,

Pam
