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?

I suspect some people just like to share their misery... Simply scrolling by would give them neither the forum nor the opportunity to do so.

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...

Those threads seem to invite the participation of anyone who wishes to comment. I certainly don't consider them cliquish. They're very clever and require a lot of work, I'm sure. Now I can show you cliquish.....

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....

Agree!!

Oh, there's plenty of cliquish on these boards, where, in certain forums, anyone outside the normal coterie posting is essentially invisible, but I don't see anyone suggesting their threads should be deleted. Of course, they often manage to do that quite well on their own... in some of the forums anyway... But regardless., there's nothing wrong with the updates, and seriously, if they're so annoying, then why read them? I've noticed, there hasn't been a return appearance here to respond...

Hi kachina....everyone is welcome and I especially enjoy reading the thoughtful, witty, and funny comments from everybody!

I find that the QVC threads are stressful. Too much negativity which is a bummer because I was hoping to find like minded QVC folks. ??

I surely do wish you moderators would check out the standards page and delete some of the lengthy, boring posts that attract a small clique of posters. (It's obvious by their references they know each other, leaving the vast majority of readers out.)

I'm thinking of one person in particular who must have very little to think about or do because her posts are up at least once a week. She's not an official Q blogger so why do you allow allow her photos, non sequiturs, and comments? I riffle through the replies but simply can't read her juvenile posts.

You are so busy looking for PC replies and forbidden words you are overlooking the obvious here.

Zita, your tally thus far is only 282 posts since you joined in 2011 ...... I don't know if you are new to message boards in general, or just this one.

If this board isn't working out for you, for whatever reason, don't hesitate to look elsewhere. We will understand.

LOTS of people on here have LOTS of fun .... maybe this board just isn't for you.

Theresa, stay in forums that are safe like Food, Home, Mom to Mom and not in forums that contain negative responses. Why feel stressed? Why stay here if you are? I think HSN has a community area where you can comment. Maybe they're not as stressful. Good luck.

I find the OP's comments lengthy and boring.

Besides, I din't see or know of her comments yesterday that were deleted but I knew who she was referring to just by reading her mean post. Why bother ? No one makes her read, so why does she continue to bother herself with this if it bothers her so ? Senseless, isn't it ?

She has defined herself as a QVC "Maven"...the true definition of which is that she" is a true expert, connoisseur if you will, in the field," containing great knowledge and expertise" I assume of fashion, beauty and knowledge of all products, since that is what a Q Maven would be.

Evidentally, she is applying this to the threads as well.
