There are some good responses to your thread in Community Chat, @newziesuzie.
Go back to: Please Explain 'Controversial Topics' from 'Community Guidelines'
(link goes to: http://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Please-Explain-Controversial-Topics-from-Community-Guidel...)
The concensus seems to be that nothing has changed in the actual standards... they were just a tiny bit clumsy in their attempt to explain them.
But it would be helpful if someone from the Social Team would clarify.

I'll add a couple of comments from the other thread:
@dooBdoo wrote:@Burnsite wrote:Newsie,
Your question is: "Does that mean ALL the part after the word "banning:" are violations? Or does it mean if they turn into "a negative dialogue between Community members" then that will be a violation?"
I would think it was the second part--IF a discussion turns negative then it will be deleted. That is not a change from prior forums (fora?).
I agree with you, @Burnsite. I think it was clumsily written, but I think the meaning is the part I placed in bold text in your post.
In looking at their entire post, they seem only to be trying to clarify the old, existing standards which haven't been changed as far as I can see.
eta: I also agree with @SaRina's post.

And this is Justina's post I agreed with:
Justina wrote:If you really examine the verbiage here...
"Controversial topics will be removed – Discussions of a controversial or confrontational nature will be removed at our discretion. The following are examples of topics that generally create a negative dialogue between Community members which will result in removal of the discussion and possible banning: current events, politics, religious beliefs, and unkind comments about hosts, vendors, models, or employees."
...this is how I would interpret it...but I could be wrong. lol
Sentence 1: Ambiguous because the first part states outright that "controversial topics will be removed". However...then it continues to say "will be removed at our discretion" which means to me that you can go ahead and post them but they may be removed. They continue to give "examples" that "generally" create negative dialogue. By using the word "generally" that.. to me.. also does not necessarily exclude such topics from being posted because it's saying that it is possible for such topics to have a civil dialogue (only suggesting that such topics "generally create a negative dialogue between Community members")...
....so that if the dialogue turns negative it will result in removal and possible banning.
Therefore...I would agree with Burnsite.
How's that? Can you tell I'm bored?
