You'll probably delete this one, too. Before everyone gets a chance to read what you've selfishly done.

If you used to read this forum for a long time, you would have noticed it IS a "normal" one! This is a space of liberty too and Joe deletes thread or post very rarely. He uses to preserve EVERY ONE to share any idea about cruise product.Your thread, even if it began correctly, degenerated into what I'd name "a wall daubed with graffiti" with no relation at all with cruises. This thread was about 45 posts long with nothing about cruise...excepted a pictured borrowed from Carnival's site.So, according me and really without wanting to do any morality, because readers like me CAN be offenced TOO when you write this is not a normal forum, you words are not justified at all.I would like to be fair too with the forum's moderator, Joe and not the Pope, who trys to keep this forum like the MAJORITY of us enjoy it. (remember, he first asked anyone about the signatures...)...But, if you speake about ships or cruise related things, maybe your posts won't be delete...and readers, including me, will maybe appreciate and enjoy your input...
Joe and the team have a business to run. Without regulation this site would lose its direction and be full of silly or offencive material!

It is actually part of my job to look through many websites with forums and subsequently I look at around 15 that I consider worthwhile everyday.
By far, the most organized, professional and learned forum is this one on travelpage.com
If you are seriously interested in what cruise afficionados and people involved in the industry are saying then this is the one.
You are completely entitled to your opinion but if you read back through the old threads you will see that they are ALL valuable because Joe does edit out the dross.
Keep up the good work Joe...

This is by far the best and most informative board for travel and cruising.

I'm a forum moderator here and also here. If I took away signatures, our fourms would be dull and lifeless (kinda like the white/grey here). And all of our posters (is that a word? ) wouldn't have their own way of expressing themselves via their signature.
Its only an option. Some people don't use it! It's kinda like the Lexus dealership offering you heated seats. Some like it, some don't. But they should at least offer.
It is not about free speech or the merits of bulletin board software. If you want to discuss or debate those subjects there are plenty of other web sites where that dialogue is more appropriate. In order to preserve the quality of this board, and this site, I will continue to delete and or edit notes that I feel are inappropriate, offensive or off-topic.
No one is being forced to participate in this forum (...except maybe Malcolm), so if you have a problem with that approach I respectfully encourage you to visit some other site.

As a young child my family lived in Rome and we were lucky enough to cross the Atlantic a number of times on American Export's Constitution.
While we were there, on a number of occasions I did get to meet the Pope

So, while I am not exactly "like the Pope", I did meet the Pope and I did like him....

You were a cute little kid!
To be more serious, keep up the good work and the general good quality of this board and I like your "gray and white" too...the most important is to read behind colors...
This is not a normal board - it is a board with high standards and that's what makes it superior to all other cruise boards on the net.
Joe - you can only accept complaints; but for every complaint there are 30 times as many of us here ready to thank and congratulate You and Travel Page's efforts as apparent in the topic "Well Done Joe and Co." http://www.travelpage.com/disc/Forum2/HTML/000491.html
