Fodors needs to explain their rules better.
 

How about some guidelines about what is acceptable and unacceptable. What constitutes being kicked off of foders?<BR><BR>You can't make rules unless you tell us what the rules are!!!!

Try clicking the little red &quot;RULES&quot; icon at the top of the page. Doh!

The rules are travel. Watch,people will be complaining now because they get kicked off for some innocuous statement.

Until Fodors.com added the &quot;registration is coming&quot; line today, that space was occupied by a synopsis of the rules for several WEEKS if not MONTHS. Basically, though, it's (a) no advertising, (b) be nice and (c) stick to travel.<BR><BR>I'm thrilled that registration is coming!

why not make this site self policing? ok, what if we posted our own rules? I'd suggest a poster be banned for one month for using WDW and discount in the same posting. Maui would be placed on the watch list for the balance of 2003. Anyone mentioning towns in TN and MO would be dealt with severely. Anybody who complained about kids on planes gets tossed off their next flight, post-takeoff.

RnR, how about the online death penalty (or at least a serious Fodors jail term!) to anyone who asks about biddingfortravel.com or asks dumb questions about Priceline!!!

And anyone who uses this forum to blab on and on about political opinions including those about war, should be banned from here for life!!!

Kim, I'd like to second your suggestion (and am happy that a few others have noted the rapidly proliferating PL/BFT posts.) It was neither my imagination, nor incipient paranoia. The Lilas and the Andrews will have to find a new place to advertise their wares. How sweet it is.

hey, xxx, any plans to watch the state of the union? Any take on the war, economy, abortion rights, W's weight lifting? Ok then, what about those WDW discounts!!

So if I read a post about White Castle as a tourist destination in Chicago can I rant about how stupid the post is without getting kicked off, assuming I don't use any offensive words?

I would like to see them divide this site into regions or states or ...something. This site gets hundreds of posts per day. Having one category--United States (or europe, etc)makes it harder to scan through posts that you are interested in, or to get responses to your own posts. So people are constantly topping. Their text search box helps some, but has its limitations.
