JVNYC Posted June 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 6, 2018 And why do we need a host? :confused: I was just thinking the same exact thing. What does the host do??!! I mean, if this person was an employee of Oceania I could see the benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redraider1966 Posted June 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Does a Community Host monitor the Roll Calls? If so, I personally would appreciate Host Joe's weeding out the the duplicative roll calls, which are a hardy perennial on the Oceania Roll Calls. Too often, CCers choose to fire first and creating a second or even third Roll Call for one voyage, rather than taking the trouble to verify that no such Roll Call already exists. This is particularly irritating when they don't look beyond page 1 of the Roll Calls for a ship and leap to the conclusion that no Roll Call yet exists. It then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as the original Roll Call posting slips further and further down page 1, particularly for a voyage a bit further out date-wise, and ends up on page 2 or even further down the list. A little help in this regard, pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Roll Calls have their own Host/moderator However you can ask Admin to merge the roll calls for the same cruises just use the CONTACT US link at the bottom of the page & give them the links to the duplicate roll calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jo-b Posted June 7, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Just idle curiosity, how did you know we had a host? I can't see a post or a sticky mentioning it, but there again I am just of to have my eyes tested!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see a post or a sticky mentioning it, but there again I am just of to have my eyes tested!! I didn't realize that either, but when I read your question, I followed up. You won't know about Host Joe if you're reading in a thread. However, on page one of the Oceania board, there are five boxes on the far right with information about the site and the board. One contains information about the existence of our new host. Host Joe's name appears there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted June 8, 2018 #23 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I believe in the laissez faire approach, but there are some posts that just need deleted and other threads closed. What I don’t like is anyone being able to push the triangle and that post is deleted without proper evaluation. But I’m skirting pretty close to the first rule of fight club here. At any rate welcome Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate welcome Joe. Clicking on the triangle doesn't result in deletion of a post without proper evaluation. It reports the person's objection to the post to the moderator, who then decides whether the post warrants deletion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
