i am so sorry! i didn't think about my words before my post. it's my fault. i really feel awful. i joined my cruise thread on this board - and i said i was excited about FE. And someone very nice, thoughtful and i assume wanting to make sure i didn't lose the opportunity for FE - pointed out that the FE's are often arranged on other threads/boards/social media.
RIGHTFULLY - the poster pointed out that it was AGAINST this board rules to provide any further information or links. I was embarrassed that i had asked them to break the rules - without knowing it. I love this board and don't want to do anything that would be against the rules or to put anyone in the same position.
I think there is a big difference between someone MALICIOUSLY trying to recruit members away from this board
VERSUS someone trying to help someone on this board. The person was just trying to help.
With that said, yes, there are SOME malicious, bad-intended people who set up boards/websites, Social media (SM) sites etc.. and it's is ALWAYS user beware. I appreciate that some people want to protect others by not sharing information about potential questionnable sites. but at the same time, it would be really nice to have a place for
DCL cruisers that was truly an open place where we could post resources from across a variety of sources. people could add a disclaimer.
again - my apologies for not using my words properly and better explaining.
