Those were email reminders for forum posts of yours that were removed. I want to be clear about this. Posts on the forum in no way affect the member ratings displayed on cruisecritic.com.

Hi jean87510: The ratings displayed on the cruisecritic.com site are aggregated from published reviews only NOT FROM CONTENT POSTED ON THE FORUM. If someone submits a review for publication -- and we reject that submission -- we clearly and concisely state the reason for not publishing when we return the review to you. We return the entire text of the review back to them for ease of re-submission, which we wholeheartedly encourage. Because I'm also making a point here, I just checked, and I find that we published all three reviews that you submitted: Two Celebrity Summit reviews (one in 2018, one in 2020) and Adventure of the Seas (2021). There were no rejected reviews. Members may have reviews/comments removed from the forums, but that has absolutely no bearing on the cruise ratings stated on the website. Hope this clears this up, LauraS
