Do you mean like getting 'ghosted'? That seems to happen often.

@SilleeMee I think a lot of them get angry when people don't agree with them and leave in a huff . I think some start to feel embarrassed. . .

@Sooner

Yes, exactly and then it seems like some posters come here looking for affirmation rather than seeking information.

Usually it's their first post and they never post again.

@rms1954 Amen! This is one of my all-time pet peeves. First-timers especially seem expect us to spent our time doing research for them, then they never give the slightest acknowledgement. We don't even know if they bother to come back to read it.

I always kinda chuckle when I hear this from posters here----how they did all this "research" to help someone out and don't get a thank you. They make it sound like doing a thesis or that they spent so much time to find an answer to a forum question. Frankly, I've not seen any topics posted here that require so much "research" or time needed to find an answer for someone. There are some who seek advice on certain sticky situations they're in and I find posters want (and sometimes insist) the OP come back and tell how it was resolved. IMO, they aren't obligated to explain how the whole dilemma was resolved and doesn't bother me if they don't. Their business.

What's with this "Them" "Us" mentality? These Forums are open to Everyone. QVC created the Forums to provide a Community for ALL. This isn't an elementary-school playground to admonish the newcomers. Nobody is obligated to answer a question and if you do answer, what do you expect? A dozen roses in a Baccarat vase with a 14k gold necklace from Gucci hand delivered?

When a thread is started and an issue or prob or some such is begun,I believe others want to know the outcome or an answer to there question. It would be a good thing if questions were answered.

Sure, it'd be nice to know but it's really none of my business. Just because someone asks a question or asks for input on a problem doesn't mean I'm entitled to know more.

@CalminHeart If you took the time to provide suggestions and/or troubleshooting, did research on their behalf (what they could have done themselves), you don't think you deserve to know if the op tried them, let you know if anything worked or not, thanked you, or at least acknowledge you in some way etc.?

Nope. I responded, researched, or whatever, out of the goodness of my heart, not for thanks, acknowledgement, or juicy details.

Actually,right now I am waiting for 2 posters to answer my questions. And no I will not name them.

And what have you done? Another year over, and a new one just begun.

@HonestLife I've been a newcomer targeted by the admonishments (including a "respected contributor" and an "honored contributor" who happen to be on this very thread) so I want to say thank you for the reminder that no one is better than anyone else because of the volume of their posts. It's positively juvenile.

KKJ · ‎03-11-2010

I guess I don't understand as I don't see where newcomers are "targeted" or admonished? Not all will agree on topics but don't equate that with attacking the OP of a thread. And all threads will get posts with opinions dif. from that of OP, not just those from newcomers.
