Enough About Discounting Please!!

[jsargent34]

There's dozens of posts now kids....

 

I know it's shocking news and all, but for crying out loud - we get the point!

[yarlenna]

I totally agree. All these discounting threads are clogging up the boards. I imagine that either the new policy will work or it won't. We shall just have to see how this plays out. In the meantime, can we get back to business?

[Croozin Soozin]

oh wait, let me add my opinion too.... lol

[Cruising89143]

Amen. It's hard to skip over them now because there are so many. Maybe we need to go back on each one and start listing names of TA"s to get them pulled!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

Sure.

 

I just heard that RCI is now charging for Johnny Rockets. Has anyone heard if this is true?

[Smiles]

Umm, why can't folks skip over the posts they don't want to read? The discounting posts aren't disguised, they are clearly listed in the title. I guess I never understood why some folks want to infringe on others right to speak, write, be, just because they want to control things. Geez, skip posts you don't want to read.

[jsargent34]

I think my point was more that....

 

DO YOU REALLY NEED 12 POSTS ADDRESSING THE SAME SENSELESS SUBJECT?

 

By the way... I do skip them...

It's common message board etiquette not to duplicate threads.....first do a search, then post into an existing thread, if what you have to say isn't repetitive.

Do you mean the rules governing socially acceptable behavior? In my neck of the woods, it is not socially acceptable to be rude by requesting that folks not speak their minds, for your personal convenience. And I didn't realize a search was required before a post could be submitted. Is this a new rule? Of course the monitors of the board can notify us unlearned folks of this new rule. Sure, folks get aggravated seeing the same thing again and again. Like chair hogs, or how does this balcony look, or are they really charging at Johnny Rockets. But such aggravation should never trump another's right to post, unless the policy changes that ALL must search before submitting any post. BTW, I didn't post to ANY of the discounting threads.

[jsargent34]

Hey,

 

I'm from the same neck of the woods as you smiles....

 

I take pride in not only being rude sometimes, but find that living up to the stereotype of us New Englander's being rude and insensitive is fun!!!!

 

btw the point here is not to limit "free speech" or even informative discussion, rather a plea to have readers/posters simply look before starting yet another thread on a WELL "beaten" horse...

[cruisinfanatic]

You guys make it sound like there are hundred discounting posts. I counted. There are 4 on the first 2 pages. I don't think it's that bad. It's on everyones mind. What is silly is the 5 announcements and 3 stickeys that follow every page on RCCI

[smeyer418]

Is this a post about cheap cigerettes?

[yarlenna]

Sure.

 

I just heard that RCI is now charging for Johnny Rockets. Has anyone heard if this is true?

Yes it is true

[vijoge]

Is this a post about cheap cigerettes?

 

No, this is the one about cheap booze. The cigarette post is on the next page.

[hstrybuf]

After reading the first one, I skipped everything that came afterward. My TA will still take care of me. ;)

I'm simply stating what is internet wide message board etiquette. No rules, just courtesy. Nobody is suggesting that people can't speak their minds, just do it in the appropriate place without being repetitive, which is where the search feature comes in handy.

 

Sheesh.

[Cruising89143]

I don't see anything wrong with discussing the new policy but why not keep it to one thread? If I am going to start a post on a recent happening or subject, I usually do a quick search to see if one has already been started.

[jsargent34]

O.K. ENOUGH....

 

12 YES THAT'S TWELVE POSTS BEFORE I GOT TO THIS ONE ABOUT THIS SILLY ABSURDITY....

 

IT'S A REALITY NOW FOLKS....

 

MORE IMPORTANTLY - PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FEATURE.

 

THIS BOARD IS SO CLOGGED UP RIGHT NOW WITH THIS GARBAGE WITH OVER A DOZEN POSTS ON THE SAME SUBJECT....

This morning there were 9 different posts on page one and two. I can not believe that people are still posting new ones on here about the same topic tonight. Enough is enough.

At least the rest of us are posting on here and not starting new threads on this topic.

You can only beat a dead horse so much.

Flame away, but the old saying above still goes. :mad:

[Ted]

Does anyone here catch the irony about a new post complaining about too many posts?

 

And, be honest here, how many of you who urged use of the search engine, in fact used it yourself to see if there were prior posts complaining about repetitive posts?

 

I, for one, would rather have a half-dozen 2-3 page posts rather than one twelve page post.

[mammallama]

Anybody notice the 'Similar Threads' section at the very bottom of the page?

[Cruising89143]

I clicked the triangle earlier this week and asked the mods if they could post an official statement on this from the cruise lines to keep the rumors down. Nothing was done. I guess they enjoy seeing all of these posts on here with fifty different theories on what this new policy means. It would be nice to know exactly how this will affect the average cruiser and then discuss it but only under one thread.

[Alexis]

And I stuck with it. ;)

[JP7344]

anyone want to clue me in to this new policy?

[randyat1001]

If I put my booze in my peg leg will the metal detector find it (the leg is wood)?
