CruiseTalk "Netiquette" - Helpful Tips for Posters and Readers

These are privately owned message boards - You do not have "freedom of speech" here. We expect you to behave as if you are a guest in a friend's home, and imagine that you are speaking face-to-face with those with whom you interact.
If you are a first-time poster, don't jump in with both feet and make a dozens of posts on your first day. You will only annoy people and make the old-timers suspicious. Also, don't launch immediately into negative or hyper-critical posts. Let people get to know you a little first!
Don't believe everything (anything?) you read. This is only a message board, and is not at all part of the journalistic content on the rest of the website. It doesn't take long to figure out who knows what they're talking about on these boards and who does not. By default, you should assume unsubstantiated posts are untrue and work from there!
Criticize respectfully, but do NOT attack people. "Joe's Opinions suck!" or "Malcolm needs to Get a Clue!" are not acceptable posts. Calm, well-reasoned criticism is encouraged.
Have a thick skin and don't take things too seriously. PLEASE do not respond to posters who flame the board or flame you personally. This only makes the situation worse, and may cause you to lose your posting privilages. Sometimes we're not sure who makes more unnecessary work for us, the original flamer or the 50 people who feel they have to "set him straight" by lowering themselves to his level. If you choose to wrestle with a pig, he will get you both dirty and only he will enjoy it! If someone is out of line, please email us and let us take care of it.
Do a quick check of the board before posting to see if the question you are about to ask or the article you just read and were about to post has already been posted.
Familiarize yourself with the rest of TravelPage.com. There is A LOT of easily accessible information there, so don't be lazy and waste space by asking silly questions when the answers are one or two clicks away.
Keep your posts on-topic and on the proper forum. CruiseTalk is not the place to discuss ice dancing, politics, video games or religion.
Do not make "so-and-so, check your email!" or similar posts. This is not your personal message board, and making such posts only causes posts of interest and value to the rest of the community become harder to find.
