Not me. What did you post? Advertising? Bill The last post I wrote had to do with Princess CL having more Noro virus episodes than other CLs. I mentioned Princess is the only line not to have hand held showers in each cabin. Someone asked what this had to do with people getting sick. I then quoted from Islamic teachings about the need to keep clean. That post was removed and that was the end of me on CC. Think they have anything against Muslims? |

I was just curious if this banning is common? I've gotten along swell without Cruise Critic for nearly all my life, and I'm sure we'll both continue to get along fine without each other in the future. One just has to wonder how objective the reviews are on CC and TripAdvisor, if some voices are censored. |

If not, contact them and politely request why you were. If you feel that you've been unjustly banned, say so in the follow up correspondence and request to be reinstated. If that doesn't work, immediately take legal action. That'll get their attention! You'd be surprise what a single, simple, polite letter from a law firm can do. Keep detailed records and copies of everything. Also, keep a journal of what you did and how you felt at the time, etc. Stef |

You want to bring legal action against them? I am no fan of their poorly laid out board. But, it is a privately owned board and they have a right to exclude anyone they want on it! It is heavily moderated so that means ... if they don't like the way you look, smell, act, spell, who you pray to or WHATEVER ... buh bye! And it is the moderator aspect that made most people jump away from here and go over there in the first place. They just couldn't get themselves to ignore the spammers, politicos, people with an axe to grind, perverts, religious haters, etc. Legal action ... bah!! Just drop them a note asking why. If nothing, then just put your big boy (or big girl) pants on and move on. And if something like this bruises your ego, then maybe you should stay off public forums since they are ALL filled with people that may offend YOU! -- Ray +++++++++++++++++++++++ www.CompressorStuff.com |

I am no fan of their poorly laid out board. But, it is a privately owned board and they have a right to exclude anyone they want on it! It is It is operated as a business. So, there are legal limits to what they can and cannot do. heavily moderated so that means ... if they don't like the way you look, smell, act, spell, who you pray to or WHATEVER ... buh bye! Without the OP getting the specifics of the banning directly from CC, there's is no way to determining whether it was legally justifiable. And it is the moderator aspect that made most people jump away from here and go over there in the first place. They just couldn't get themselves to ignore the spammers, politicos, people with an axe to grind, perverts, religious haters, etc. Legal action ... bah!! Just drop them a note asking why. If nothing, If you had read my post more thoroughly, you would have seen that was my first recommendation towards resolution. then just put your big boy (or big girl) pants on and move on. And if something like this bruises your ego, then maybe you should stay off public forums since they are ALL filled with people that may offend YOU! I was not the one banned. The one who was felt she was done so unjustly. Stef |

I just wanted to know if I am the only one. Seems like I might be. What a distinction, even Hitler wasn't banned from Cruise Critic!
And I say fine. It was just a big waste of time. How often can I read the food was "yummy" and the beds were "comfy"? I'm thinking cruising is for people afraid of the real world. Everything is planned and controled. There is no place on the ship to get a picture that hasn't been taken a hundred times before. The crew are all programed to respond politely. Even the port stops are a controlled experience. No wonder the old folks at CC were afraid of me. I went on two fine cruises. I've also been to DisneyWorld. They were memorable, controled experiences, but I have no desire to repeat them. I have other adventures to explore before my time is up here. As for suing them, it is not my desire. If some lawyer has nothing better to do, I'd lend my name just for the experience. |

One just has to wonder how objective the reviews are on CC and TripAdvisor, if some voices are censored. Cruise Critic is heavily moderated and they are aggressive about deleting pots and threads. Never heard of a lifetime ban. Have to wonder what you said. I will look at those threads but i assume they also deleted your posts. -- Charles |
