Blocking Forums
 

Is there any way I can block certain forums on this site? There are one or two I'm not interested in, and when I log on they can very nearly fill my screen with new posts that I don't want to see.

I feel the same way .I have no interest whatsoever in cruise news ,why cannot it be on just on thread .or is this a way for free advertising because NO ONE replies to any of it

I'm afraid I have to agree with the previous two comments. The standard of correspondence does not compare to the previous site which I have to interrogate to get something interesting in the forums.

What's needed is some sort of Opt Out option which can selected by each individual user. Cruise News is the one I would opt out of. I worked on them for a few years , that was enough for me. :)

I suppose one way out of this would be if we could swamp them. I know we are working on it.

It's not even shipping history, just current news. I might leave, I'm not here to see all that stuff.

It is getting a bit overwhelming ...

Gents,

I have flagged this thread up for Admin's attention. :thumb:

Good Man! :D

One of the reasons that I have not bothered with this site much as I have never had any interest in "cattle boats".

As my colleague has stated, we have flagged this thread for Admin attention. Please remember however, SH is still in the building stages. Seven forums have not been opened yet all of various shipping interests. If a forum content is not liked, ignore it. I have run ship and port cams on other sites, which showed vessels of all types, not cruise ships. AIS was a big help, but naval vessels do not show on AIS, so I had no idea because those who would have known stayed away. Therefore, please bare with us as we build this site for the benefit of all.

Hi David, I'm sure it will all be sorted out, but I have to wonder why the Cruise Industry News (Or whatever it's called) manages to take up so much space. I've just had a look at their posts, and there are lots of them! Most have around 8 "Looks" and as far as I can see, only 1 recent post in reply.
Would I be right in assuming that Cruise Industry News is available elsewhere on the www?

Oh! Here it is....

https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/

I agree. When I tried to block 'Cruise News', I got the message it was an Administrator and as such could not be blocked. Seemed strange.

I like this site...almost zero politics and,so far, no spammers.

Wait until Satanic M finds his way here. AAAAAAGH!!!

I'll second that Geoff.
Got really fed up of reading the same old things posted by the same posters on SN. I also thought the verbal abuse posted by some was out of order.There was never a need for that at all.

Also a much wider and more international set of pictures. Also nice to see more Foreign Flag vessels, and people who sailed on those vessels as well.

I agree but something needs to be done about all these cruise industry news posts. They're taking over the entire site.

Look at this screenshot I was presented with this morning when I logged into the site .... it's a bit too much.

Someone said earlier no Spam on this site. I would tend to disagree.

Have flagged this comment up again for Staff who have already had some discussion on this matter but, personally, I agree that we are being swamped!

yep much more and I'm out .we were all seamen for godsake .goto a flipping travel agent for cruise news .don't care if they built a new noah's ark.now if it were a bluey a bank star BI ect ect the you have got me from the word go .I'll give it a week

If we all started 2 threads a week, that would chase it back into it's corner a bit.

They are all being posted by one of the Admin "Shipping News"
They are also not being read by anyone.
Suggest you all bombard the mail box "Shipping News" asking for less of this stuff.
