Taken from Cruise Critic -
**Important Message To Our Celebrity Community
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, our name is "Cruise Critic". Of course, we have no problem whatsoever with anyone questioning the problems with Celebrity ships or service. Afterall, posting your first hand experiences -- good or bad -- is what we are all about.
Here's what I see happening here on the Celebrity forum, which I find inherently different than the above. What I'm referring to is when the same person or couple of people post the same thing over and over again on a wide variety of threads about a specific issue. Try as I might I sincerely don't know what they are trying to achieve with this tactic. Do they really think that people will stop sailing Celebrity or that Celebrity will magically fix the pod problem with a snap of their fingers? In reality, what they are doing is disrupting our community.
The bottom line is that our veteran members and our newbie members who are trying to find out information about their cruises are simply sick and tired of the continued Celebrity bashing by a few people.
While we are not suggesting eliminating "negative" posts, what we are going to do is systematically stop those who, in the sole discretion of Cruise Critic staff, post the same negative things over and over and over again in many threads just to disrupt the boards. It doesn't matter if you are "new" to Cruise Critic or you've been here for years. If you do this you will lose your posting privileges without warning.
Additionally, for an undetermined amount of time any and all off-topic posts within a thread will be removed, and you will loose your posting privileges. (Here's a recent example: There was a thread started about breakfast food. It didn't take long for someone to post a "dig" about the pod problems.) If you do this you will find yourself unable to post in the future.
For those of you who persist and continue to create new user names in an effort to disrupt our community, we will take appropriate action with your isp. We have been successful in this regard in the past.
