[quote reggae]It does seem simple to just put ALL cruise topics on the Community Board and all OT's on the Aft Board. That way, newcomers will see all the cruise topics ONLY, in one place.
By putting ALL the OT's over here, it's a simple way for those that don't want to see OT's, to avoid them entirely.
That is the way it is done on many other cruise boards, and they have no difficulties with this method. (If something gets put on the cruise only board by mistake, it gets moved to the "chit-chat" board, etc.)
As far as advertisers, they are on both forums now, so all would see the ads either way.
Why can't we do this??
The way it is now, poster like myself, are afraid of posting the WRONG thing on the Community Board. So I don't feel comfortable posting there any longer, unless I'm posting on one of the moderator's posts.
If this board is to be left for prayers, pets, and concerns, I'm afraid this will become the morbid board, the sad board, and there will be 3 or 4 posters here. Is this really what the moderators want??[/quote]
I agree with you reggae, but I think that's what is slowly taking shape. It seems that the OT posts, as well as prayers etc. are being posted here. If a post is misplaced, it does take time for the moderators to catch it and move it. I would think this might take time since none of them are on the board 24/7
