Suggestion Box

[redhead65]

It is really sad but I believe it in the best interest of all if the QVC Moderators of the Forum would no longer permit postings about the QVC hosts, their families or anything pertaining to them.

Just completely make it against Community Standards and delete any attempts to discuss hosts.

This will stop all of the host bashing and discussions about them, their persona, families, etc.

I realize in doing so it would eliminate positive comments but those can be posted on the social media of these people.

It would benefit the hosts, rid the forum of many negative comments, and defuse many posters.

I can only see that it would do more good than harm. The forum isn't there for that purpose anyway, as it goes against Community Standards even thought it occurs consistently.

As in other aspects of life,  we sometimes must give up the good because of those who have been bad.

I TOTALLY agree with the intent of your post, BUT as a teacher of preadolescents and adolescents for many years, I STILL have the overly optimistic notion that at some point in life, EVERYBODY develops at least a tiny bit of compassion, integrity, and common sense.
Since some of the posters to whom you refer have not yet done so, I may wind up throwing in the sponge and agreeing with you.

I would miss opportunities to compliment hosts, vendors, and models. Personal attacks should be fodder for deletion. My 2¢.

I think the Community Standards are already restrictive enough without adding yet another subject on which we cannot post.

[redhead65]

I understand your viewpoint and don't disagree to a point. I would like to ask that only positive posts be allowed. But ever since the initiation of the Forum it has been a problem, and the moderators had the opportunity to delete individuals, but it continues. 

I feel the only way to stop it now it to 

no longer permit it. I'm hoping your kind words and comments could be directly given to the hosts via other sources for now.

Blessings.

I agree with the intent of your post, HOWEVER, I do not think throwing the baby out with the bath water is the answer.  I have found that the majority of posters here are intelligent, mature, and considerate.  They perfectly understand bashing and hiding behind " just stating a fact," versus inquisitive, supportive, and complimentary comments.  The hosts now even post their own blogs in the midst of other postings.  Carolyn's heartfelt and warm update on her condition could and indeed have prompted many well-wishers and comments of similar, personal challenges that I'm sure have helped many others.  Or, "I haven't seen Lisa Mason...sending prayers her way." 

I do not agree with banishing anything of any kind ever being posted in regards to the hosts.

So where does it stop? We can't discuss politics or current events.  We can't talk abaout the hosts and/or vendors. Then we can't talk about the merchndise, then what?  And don't forget Customer Service.  Are we fast reaching a point where there is really no reason for a QVC Board to even exist?    

I remember one host who had a drop off line for every sentence.  It was driving everyone nuts - and after lots of posts to that effect, she finally stopped!  I see no reason to stop talking about the hosts. They represent QVC and they are the connection between the viewers and the company.  I think the Board already has too many "don'ts".  Take away a few more things and most of us would find it entirely too restrictive to bother coming here.

  What is next? No critique of a QVC product, only positive glowing comments about everything offered here? Sorry, but I cannot agree with this suggestion at all. Constructive criticism is necessary in all walks of life, from ditch digging to brain surgery. No one should be immune. 

  This isn't to say that a host should be attacked for his/her weight or other physical attributes or in a way that is cruel or inappropriate. But suggesting that someone not overuse a phrase, or act in a more professional manner, or even give size information when describing fashion items --can make shopping at QVC a more pleasant and efficient process.

  TV shopping is a unique experience. It is not the same as mall shopping, or even online shopping. And for a lot of us, separating the host from the product is difficult, which is why sometimes it is necessary to eliminate that component from the equation when the host interferes with the shopping experience. Many times it is easier to look at items online that to deal with watching live tv; however you do lose some information about the product even with the video. Some hosts need to do their jobs better, and if constructive criticiam by customers could effectuate some improvement, I say go for it.

I feel we're already restricted enough as it is.
We're adults and have opinions. I can understand not wanting bashing, but all talking about hosts or vendors is not mean and calculating.

If they take any more away from us, we may as well go back to grade school.

Life is not all rainbows and roses. We can deal with that. This board needs to grow up and act it's age!!

Apparently I do not know the difference between constructive criticism and a honest opinion.   QVC should 'take to heart' the flaws we see in their hosts that would entice us, as customers, to watch and buy.  

So I just change the channel.
