**admin edit:

ok, so since this effort has still not yet had the intended results, we will change the rules yet again in the hopes that the forum can still remain a source of information for covid travel related topics, but eliminate all the petty political/contentious nonsense that seems a good number of you are so addicted to.

so from here on out, if your post is just a link to an opinion piece, or political article or other such nonsense you know full well is going to spark a debate with the "other side", itll just get locked immediately. If you wish to discuss the merits of treatments/vaccines/political rhetoric/alex jones/the view/whatever...there is an ENTIRE INTERNET available to you outside of TUG.

stick to posts that discuss topics related to covid and travel and or timesharing. period. If i have to lock more than one thread from here on out for violating these rules, youll get a suspension.



Everyone has grown very weary of folks who continue to step across the line and take advantage of our generosity in relaxing for the sake of COVID some of our long held rules on forum behavior as long as it was limited to the COVID forum. this ends now. Enough is enough. for those of you who regularly break the forum rules under the blanket of the covid forum, today was your last day to do so.

While we wont shut down the forum and folks can continue to post COVID topics, moving forward there will simply be no more warnings given for out of the line behavior and moderators wont be tasked with simply deleting posts here and there. Instead threads will simply be locked when they cross the line, people will be suspended for continuing said behavior and the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Lets get back to focusing on Timeshares, sharing vacation information, and growing as a community.



PS. if you are not sure if you are one of the folks who this message is intended for, you more than likely are included in the intended audience for my message.

"the beatings will continue" Are you are prison guard, pirate captain or master? Very offensive

its called sarcasm, and a common phrase on tshirts/stickers/etc.....

everyone appears to have gotten the joke but you. if you wake up every day looking for something to offend you, youll usually be successful. pretty awful way to live however IMO.

I wasn't offended, I thought it was funny. I often use that line myself.

Its not about if one is offended but if it may offend someone else. The timeshare demo on the most part may not find it offensive but that does not mean that is not to some people.

I often wonder what is wrong with you.

How is this post even possibly permitted on TUG, especially in this forum? Why would you think this is remotely appropriate here? This isn’t the Covid forum.

So considerate of you. But really, you think your earlier comment was appropriate? All I can say to that is "wow".
