Suggestion Box

[stevieb]

Oh and I suspect the reason the post went unnamed is because of the similar rant that was poofed yesterday... You really have to wonder why this is so important that anyone would come back for more... and whether or not THEY have enough to do!

She's referring to posts in the Q Did What, specifically the weekend update posts. She posted another rant about them yesterday that mercifully was poofed after only a few minutes... One wonders why it bothers her SO much and why, if they DO bother her so much, she feels compelled to go to them and comment... Honestly, some folks, it seems, just don't seem to get the notion of 'each to their own'. The threads are popular, humorous and yes, used by a coterie of posters to say in touch, just as are countless other threads on countless other forums. Perhaps, given a more genial approach, others might even want to stay in touch with the OP... Moreover, this insistence on judging how much other have to do based on posting here is utter nonsense and frankly, isn't her concern, and also isn't relevant...

If that's what is being referred to, I've never thought of that as a "clique", since I see various posters on that thread, including me, and I'm sure I don't belong to anyone's "clique"! It's just a fun thread, and seems to be open to anyone who wants to have a little fun with it and post their own comments. I just started posting on it from time to time fairly recently, and I haven't felt at all like an "outsider" like I would on some threads. I can tell that some of the posters there are good friends, but I haven't felt unwelcome to join in once in a while.

I'd bet the ranch that's what she was talking about because as noted, she posted a snotty remark to it yesterday but it disappeared rather quickly... Sometimes when people feel like outsiders it's because they choose to feel like outsiders and they behave in such a way as to ensure they remain outsiders... You're right, KMNC, those threads are open to all and attract a range of posters, and yes many of them are regulars... Some people just can't stand to see others enjoying themselves, so instead of simply walking away, they try to shut the party down. It's often called grouchy and miserable...

I "walk away" from a lot of threads where I know exactly what will happen if I post on them. Sometimes I do post, and when I have to leave to do something else, I'm sure those people are glad to see me go!

Trying to figure out why the OP believes any of the things she is complaining about are a Standards issue. Lengthy. ""Boring"" (to some people). People who know each other posting in the same thread. Posting as frequently as once a week while not being an officially sanctioned QVC blogger.

Um....what??

I wondered if this was her complaint. I think OP needs to put on her big girl pants and not open a post if it's going to bother her.

Zita is all in a tizzy because her snarky comment against me was removed by the Moderators....

Before writing such a thread I suggest that one actually READ the Standards which state---

.Be respectful and courteous to others, even if you disagree with them. Do not use language or post content that is unkind or in poor taste or engage in personal attacks.

Photos are permitted these are the only restrictions---

• Do not submit images or videos involving nudity, profanity, or other obscene and distasteful content.
• If you include other people in your images or videos, make sure you have their permission to do so, including parental consent of minors.

The Q Did What is for "Gripes, complaints, whatever about QVC".....and even in QVC's new and improved guidelines they said it was acceptable to make comments/criticisms about QVC hosts/vendors as long as it was not considered nasty.

I do not see anything in the Standards as to the length of a post. And I sincerely apologize if someone actually forces Zita to read my post. Perhaps a Moderator can direct her to the IGNORE feature!

I think Q Talk and its multiple "sub-forums" are the most interesting parts of these boards. I can't understand why someone opens up a clearly labeled thread, probably knows what it's about and then composes a post complaining about it. Doesn't that take a lot more time and effort than merely scrolling by?

[Spurt]

My posts comply with the standards, it's NOT a blog its just comments on QVC's weekend lineup which is somewhat repetitive and boring and it includes some cute and funny photos....

She is just mad that I didn't take the bait and respond to her personal attack....

Hi, SPURT.....I love reading your weekly report and the cute kitties in various poses and clothing...I look forward to it each week...I can't imagine why anyone would find fault with it...OR why anyone would read it knowing what it will be about....but to BAN it is ridiculous....
