Beginning today all of my posts have been hidden. Why?

[mjobtx]

They are not political. They are not advertising anything. They contain no foul language. So why starting today are all of my posts hidden? Who can I contact to get the problem corrected? I participate in an active Oceania Insignia Roll Call for the 2022 ATW cruise. Now I cannot participate.

 

By being able to post this, it appears that only my posts in the ATW Roll Call are affected but I have no idea why.

Sometimes posts get caught by the automatic filter. When a mod sees them, assuming they are OK they will unhide the,.

 

It happens on occasion.

Your hidden posts all include a link to a website that is not an official Royal Caribbean website, but which is a message-board site [therefore a CC competitor] and is therefore prohibited.  It appears that you were misled by that site's use of the Royal Caribbean logo, but it does have a disclaimed in the top right corner 'About Us.'

Howdy from a fellow Texan!  

 

Perhaps the following from the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free Cruise Critic memberships will be helpful:

 

"Other Cruise & Travel Sites

Cruise Critic reserves the right to approve or deny links which lead directly to or link to cruise-related material or message boards that are not located within Cruise Critic. Additionally, we respectfully request that you do not use our forums to promote or advertise other cruise-related websites."

 

Also,

 

"Question: Why don't you allow us to post about other cruise sites? My post contains *** and then you removed it!  Answer:  Actually, we do allow the legitimate linking to information at another cruise site, as long as that link isn't posted in an attempt to drive traffic to that site (in the sole discretion of Cruise Critic), or if the posting of such site is meant to cause disruption within the community. If a website's url or name is replaced by a series of *****, it may mean that particular website had spammed our community with advertisements for their site, or that member(s) may have posted in a way that we consider self-promotion or advertising."

 

If you have any further questions, comments or feedback concerning board moderation, please send an email to the Community Manager LauraS per the following also from the Guidelines:

 

"... Discussion of the management of this community is not allowed on the forums..." 

 

"... However, we would be happy to address any concerns you have via email.   Please write to the Community Manager at:  community@cruisecritic.com..."

You may contact the Community Manager at: community@cruisecritic.com..."

 

"... If you have any questions or comments regarding our posting guidelines or any content found on our message boards please be sure and let me know. I'll be happy to discuss them with you.

I didn't violate any of those rules. Apparently the AI just goes berserk once in a while. I thank you for your post because I now have a contact to email.
