Suggestion Box

[Gemspirit]

I just read what you wrote in reply to the removal of my post regarding SHAWN K.
Might I suggest something? If the guidelines for posting have been revised along with the physical changes of this forum; would it be possible to post a list of acceptable and nonacceptable words, statements or phrases in regards to this new forum?
I did not intend to be offensive in a personal manner. I'm sure (in my situation that SHAWN is a nice woman. I didn't attack her personally. I gave an authentic opinion of her style of presentation and actions regarding one item and one "show". I've seen so much worse.
I'm trying to understand were and how the forum community is expected to act when giving their opinions in an honest manner. I want to give my opinion or ask a question as expected before I write my opinion.
I'm from Cambridgshire and I'm a medical professional, an RN of over thirty years. So the presentation as an entity of its own, by both participants felt quite wrong to me. I'm very proud of my hometown and the people~my family and friends who, like myself are obviously sensitive to content coming our way.
Please, talk with you colleagues and consider giving us...the QVC community specificity as to what you want said. It would eliminate situations such as my own and, countless others.
Thank You.

The first thing you need to realize is that it's not what is posted but who posted it. Threads that are clearly disallowed  when posted by certain posters remain while other threads that adhere to the rules get removed with the vague reason that it may become political or contentious.

If you're going to challenge the moderator for removing your posts, at least be truthful about it.  I don't think it behooves you to keep harrassing the moderator either.  And I distinctly remember you used the word "stupid" regarding Shawn.

[joann1218]

Well, I don't think stupid is such a bad word.  Sometimes the hosts do say stupid things.

[KingstonsMom]

By the same token, so do many posters.

I think stupid is a perfectly descriptive word in many situations. It does seem that not only has the new and ,for some ,improved,boards stopped discussion of hosts appearance,etc,they have stopped allowing criticism about on air performance as well. I noticed many threads about Shawn getting deleted and there were legit points made about what posters/shoppers didn't like. With all due respect to the moderators, a list of unacceptable words,phrases,tones,ideas,might be helpful and keep posters with certain opinions from getting threads shut down.  Maybe we are only  supposed to say positive things about the hosts?

Don't keep this going.  You posted a not so nice posting, it was removed.  End of story.  If you post snarky and rude posts, then they should be removed.

Oh dear Lord, why is everything here an argument? I've never been on a forum with this kind of just nastiness.
I'm not challenging any moderators. I asked for a list of what types of things they have now decided are unacceptable. That's not challenging, it's asking for help.
I'm not going to enter into a war of words with you. I said what I saw and how I honestly felt. Which is more than most will dare to do. And much less than I've seen here before and currently!
I'm asking for clarification,Karnerblue, NOT confrontation. IF THERE WAS A WAY TO PM A MOD., I WOULDVE DONE IT JUST FOR THIS REASON. If there is a way to do that, that I haven't figured out yet, someone please tell me!

I didn't read the thread but I find I find this forum like being in school and being reprimanded.  The first day of change I simply asked if a certain host was getting married.  The post was removed as "too personal".  I was called by QVC(wasn't home) but saw on caller ID.  They then wrote me a message.  After shopping since the beginning it's funny what sets you over the edge.  I seldom come here anymore and seldom shop at QVC. I didn't like the reprimand like I was a child.  Yes, it's their forum but it's my dollar to spend.  So I've taken my dollars elsewhere.

OP, I don't think you understand completely why your thread was removed.

The mod said that they will remove any posts/threads that are unkind. Thus, I don't see how the mods can give you a list of the words you can no longer use because it's possible to be unkind with so called ok words.

For example, in your post you stated that Shawn should go back to school; this can be seen as unkind and rude as well as disrespectful.

With my response I am not trying to take sides but jut trying to help you see that some of your comments may have been problematic.
