Deleted threads

i have noticed that somtimes threads are poofed and they remain visible like the multiple ones shilling Amazon today. Other times, they are completely gone, as if they never existed. What determines which threads get which treatment? I wish they would just completely delete the Amazon ones since they appear in so many forums.

The Amazon Shiller should be blocked from the Forum going forward. He/She clearly knew they were going against QVC's posting policy -- and just being an incredible nuisance.

I'd also like to see that thread totally removed -- and further, if it was started by anyone they can identify, I wish that person would be banned and banned and banned and banned.

It was a new user, I assume it was the same person as yesterday. Not sure why the whole thread wasn't zapped.

I think there are shills for many products that fly under the radar because they are less obvious. I have more issues with the deceptive practices of that type, than the recent Amazon type. But I think the Amazon type validates my suspicion as to the other.

Without any evidence, the way it was done I'm guessing it's a regular member signed up and slammed several forums with the link. Same thing happened yesterday. It obviously wasn't real spam or shill. There are people here that think no one can find a sale on their own or something. LOL IP tracing isn't what it used to be, so that's not necessarily an option.
