T-rollers & survays???  I have no idea what you all are talking about.  I still don't know who even posts nasty reviews because the names are removed.

Thanks for the answers but some are just over my head.  

I am baffeled by the poster that knew how many days/weeks she would be kicked off.  How on earth do you know this unless it happened to you?

None of this is in "get started."

My initial question was sincere and curtious.

LOL. If you're referring to this...

"Posters do lose posting privileges for times ranging from a few days, to months."

...it's because I read what others have posted about it - either those who have been or those who know people who have been banned. Some people who have been have said so when they returned.

Anyhoo, why don't we let QVC and their mods decide just what to remove and who to ban and not worry about any of this?

The vast majority of posters come here for fun and relaxation, not for being scolded or told what to do by others who themselves are less than perfect.

In other words, lighten up, for goodness' sake.

Ah, @suzyQ3, the voice of reason finally enters. I, too, suspect something unusual going on in this post.

ITA, let the mods do their job. We don't need posters patrolling the boards policing fellow members. The mods do their job.

I agree, this topic has been hashed and re-hashed we took the surveys and decisions were made--it's QVC's Forum, let the Mods do their job, we don'tneed mini-mods.  If they just want nothing but positive posts then they can create a QVC Host Fan Club Facebook Page or Blog that they can control!

This is an Opinion forum. And you're so right, @Spurt. Were it all positive opinions, it would be a Fan club. And as much as one woman loves something, there's the next woman who detests it. That's what makes a forum interesting: differing opinions. There's nothing wrong at all, @Spurt my friend, with you loving something and me disliking the same thing. And both opinions will be strongly felt and written so. 

---

@febe1

Concur with what you said my friend, although I hope that opinion differences are discussed in an intelligent manner---- respecting each other to have their own view point. Too many times those that dont want to see a discouraging word about QVC/hosts/vendors write some of the meanest, nastiest things back to someone who has written an opinion about a host, and it's sometimes far nastier and meaner than what was even said about the host/vendor/QVC---  If I say I dont like a host because ......................., why can't they just say, I like this host because and leave it at that or ignore the thread altogether....

@Spurt~~~That was exactly what happened to me. I guess Albany had finally gotten on my last nerve and I said something about her overly flirtatious ways with every male within a fifty mile radius. 

Another poster came at me as if I had said something about a family member, then said worse things about Shawn. She then asked me what my point was. 

My point was exactly what I said and to be honest is at least partly why Albany left to spend more time with her family IMHO.

People need to think about how they are interpreting a post.  People should not add their own thoughts, emotions, struggles, etc into what an anonymous poster says.  Some people are direct but that doesn't mean they are being nasty.  

BTW, I haven't seen a mean post in months. I might have missed one as I don't read every post. But I don't read more into a post than is there.  I also don't care if someone is direct.  I don't care if someone beats around the bush other than I'll lose interest if it goes on too long.  

People need to stop being hurt, offended, upset about things they have zero control over.   Life is short.  

[jackiejenny]

"People" generally know how to interpret a post. 

"People" usually know there is a vast difference between being direct and being nasty. 

There was no misinterpretation.

No. Some posters are repeat offenders...almost 2 or 3 times a week. If they are constantly reported by other posters, I think they should lose their posting privileges for a few days until they learn to play nicely.

---

I think posters who continually report other posts are the ones who should lose their posting privileges.  Aren't we all adults here? 

Someone would have to really post something awful for me to report it.

Same here: I've never reported a post nor seen one that was so awful it had to be reported.

I am one who thinks adults on fashion boards can handle that. How much hate can be on a home shopping network forum?

@jackiejenny

So sorry you have to experience that just for giving your opinion--- it's like some folks are a self appointed security guard for their favorite host or something---SHEESH!!!  (and BTW I thought the same thing about Albany being flirtatious with male vendors, one time she was really being flirty with Liam the Vionic vendor, and he said something to the effect that he was not amused by her comment)

I've seeen some posts/threads on this Forum over the years that were real doozies  there was one in particular that started off innocently enough about Wolf Spiders of all things (having had one on my front porch I was interested in reading the topic---these spiders are huge and are like a blonde tarantula) well the thread steadily took a downhill turn, apparentty there was a group that didnt like the author of the spider thread, and the author and her friends accused the attackers of being a group of women in prison.... at first it was rather interesting reading, then it turned into the most vile and hateful thread ever!!!  It generated a lot of pages and a lot of comments,  apparently a Mod got a hold of it, and worked on that thread throughout the night, because the next day it was paired down to the 3 comments that were actually about the orignal topic, the spider......I dont know why the whole thread just wasn't deleted..(not sure if the Mod just saw the thread, maybe they were alerted by the sheer number of pages of comments....or if someone reported it)....I didnt report it I just quit reading it.

And there have been others ......  there was even a thread posted about a year or so ago, called the most interesting QVC threads.....quite enlightening.......I write on a Sports Forum and sports rivalries can be pretty intense....but I've seen meaner and more hateful posts here........I do think there are a couple of Forum Topic Categories that should have a "warning label"......

After political forums, QVC forums are cupcakes.

A while back I started a thread about good deeds people do, it got so mean and nasty that I asked the mods to shut it down.
