Posts that seem to only be advertising YouTube videos

[1025cruise]

I know I should probably email, but I figured I'd ask anyways.

There seem to be a few posters that start new threads for the purpose of promoting their own YouTube videos. Is this permitted?

I have noticed that, too.  I seldom look at them.  Perhaps there should be a separate place for them in the gallery.  I realize he intends them to be informative, but I feel they are somehow bragging, he is the expert.  EM

If you feel a moderator should take a look at a particular post you can report it and provide an explanation. In the top right corner of each post are ellipsis (...). Tap / click to drop a menu. Select Report and complete the form.

FYI to all:

 

Report a post is the route when seeing a post or thread that violates the Guidelines or the new COVID-related Discussion rules, is off topic, is on the wrong forum, etc. See the pinned post from LauraS:

 

And please note the following important information in the above post:

"... When done with your message, click Submit Report. Your part is done at that point. Please do not quote or reply to the reported post. Your quote or reply post as well as any other posts or quotes concerning the reported post or thread will be removed from sight along with the reported post."

 

However, all questions/comments/feedback regarding board management should not be posted on the boards. See the following from the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free Cruise Critic memberships:
