Beachdude Posted November 17, 2017 #26 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Rules? There are rules to how we discuss? I do like to talk about Sally now and then because she is a babe. But I don't like to use our real names because I like to go commando now and then and people who know tend to stare. It's complicated.:o Burt (but not really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 17, 2017 #27 Share Posted November 17, 2017 My screen name gives our names away, and everybody on the Royal boards knows Bella. 😉 Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldubs Posted November 18, 2017 #29 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Also disrupting to the Community is Thread hijacking which is the act of trying to steer a web forum discussion thread off topic by discussing a subject entirely unrelated to the original topic...." Op never said a word about Thread Hijacking -- just sayin. :D I agree that forum rules should be followed. I just don't think what the OP asks about should be considered a disruption to the community. But then, like some others, I don't understand the issue, so could be missing something I suppose.

PBC29 Posted November 19, 2017 #30 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Can see using names in roll calls but just answering a question won't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted November 19, 2017 #31 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Because: Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got. Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. Wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows Your name. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mermaidIamNOT Posted December 4, 2017 #33 Share Posted December 4, 2017 If you post A LOT maybe people might start to learn your names. I don't get those who tell people on here to say hello to a certain crew/staff member weeks later. These crew/staff are dealing with hundreds of new people per sailing. You really had to have made a big impression to be remembered 2-3+ weeks later just by name alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted December 5, 2017 #34 Share Posted December 5, 2017 luckyinpa, I think many do it to be courteous. It's always a nice way to start things out IMHO. I do the same on e-mails while some don't. Some of us have actually meant many people from CC through our travels. Not a high percentage since CC population is so big but I am sure I have met a couple of thousand people from CC over the years. Keith Indeed, yes, Keith . I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of CC posters on various ships through the years. I met one lovvely couple frrom Boston (my home) with whom I am still in touch. We spoke on the phone last week. I have met ships' officers because they recognized from my posts enough informatiion they guessed my name on the manifestt when t I had posted I was sailing their ship on a given d ate. :)and introduced themselves. I have always treasured those meetings. :) I've been on CC so long, that I've met a number of CC'ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haladdict Posted December 5, 2017 #35 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Some people are lonelier than others and like to be acknowledged, remembered etc. It doesn't hurt anyone if a few talk to each other. Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbjen Posted December 5, 2017 #36 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I do sometimes get the feeling that some posters seem to be posting simply for the benefit of their friends on the site, but I also respect that there is a core group of long time members who have put in the time to make this site what it is, and if they feel like they can run the place, then who am I to stop them!

marco Posted December 5, 2017 #37 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I've not really noticed it other than on the "Roll Call" threads, where it does seem to be appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted December 5, 2017 #38 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I don't use my real name here. And when I post replies to people I've met in person, I'll use their Cruise Critic handle and not their real names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
