Will U bring back ice ........    what's the mask protocol on board?

[Pennyfarthing]

Just to clarify …. Someone reported me and asked for me to be banned. I know not who.  Emma messaged me the details.  I did NOT get a warning and I did NOT get banned. 

I read  things on here that I do not agree with but I would NEVER email the moderator and ask for someone to be banned just because their opinions are different to mine.  I am a moderator/admin on another site so I do know what’s involved.

I have been on here for many years without problems and, as others have said, what kind of site is it where we can’t voice our opinions?

Thank you to the people who have PMd me and said they did not find my posts offensive. 👍

I have been for my blood tests and put my mask on and waited with one other person.  After a few minutes I could hardly breathe and as I have low blood pressure and am prone to fainting I decided I was safer without it so I took it off.  Went in to the nurse and nothing was said.

Penny, sounds like a legitimate medical reason not to wear one, which has always been allowed. Also just FYI, I mean a warning as in a message from a mod- it’s essentially a warning….  Otherwise why would they message? Anyway… try not to worry about it. The only reason someone should be banned is for spamming or threatening others, in my *opinion*!

On the site I am involved with we do actually head it WARNING. 

Phew, just going out for lunch with a friend but sitting inside! 

39c in our garden right now.

Definitely feels hotter than yesterday!

"Emma messaged me the details" - which gives more information than is required, as well as being a breach of confidentiality.  I also moderate a forum with 4 others ......

PF - the Nurse should have shown you how to wear a mask correctly so that you don't feel threatened.  All of mine allow me to breath in and out without problems apart from the 1 that isn't made of cotton.  It has taken practice and occasionally I have to remove mine for a deep breath, but very rarely been worried by it.

There are many people that can’t wear masks CLKD, and mask exemptions exist for that reason. We should be understanding of this and not deny that these medical reasons exist or persist. Anxiety is a valid reason. Everyone is different, some people just can’t wear them.

As for ‘Emma messaged me the details’, it is normal for members of any forum or social media to be told the action they took or words they wrote that led to moderator action, warning or whatever. So it is certainly not a breach of confidentiality to inform a member that there are complaints and what they are about. It’s normal and reasonable to tell the member what they did otherwise they can’t understand what they should do differently. Not that Penny did anything that deserves that in my opinion. At all.

Thanks Taz,you should try and go sometime,I can't even describe how stunning it is x

It does sound tempting.

It is a breach of confidentiality.  One doesn't need to know why a moderator is making contact via PM.  PMs should be private.

[ATB]

Not if you report another member to a moderator. Your complaint and not your name should be expected to be shared. Otherwise what is the person being complained about meant to do? You need to know what you did wrong so you don’t get removed. The mod is entirely in the right to give information about the complaint if they want you to adapt your behaviour. This forum isn’t just for one or two people, so lots of opinions will be here and that’s just life! Let others have their opinions! It’s mean to deny others suffering with meno a space for support just because you don’t like what they said.

Anyway! Haven’t we talked about this enough? This is a cool space so let’s just enjoy how women come together to help each other. It’s such an important thing for women that this exists.

Will U bring back ice ........    what's the mask protocol on board?

You've to wear a mask getting on and off ship,only because you are in close contact with the staff who look at your passes.
They said they'd prefer if people wore masks onboard but it is entirely up to the individual.
I doubt I'll wear mine,Cunard has small ships and plenty room for all.

  on my recent flights to and fro from Germany,  the mask rule was enforced more strictly on the way back. As I walked up the ramp to board, my mask was in my hand and I was asked where it was. I was amused at the instructions for accessing oxygen in an emergency. We were told that we could remove the FFP2 mask to get oxygen but must then put it on again !

No it wasn’t a breach of confidentiality. She didn’t name the complainant.

The nurse wasn’t bothered that I wasn’t wearing a mask so why would she show me how to wear one? (I already know that having worn one for the many months it was mandatory).  I didn’t feel “threatened”  I felt like I was going to faint.


 I imagine she would rather ignore the fact than having to treat me for fainting and then make herself late for other appointments.
