Pool Hopping Mad!! Happened to us too!

IMHO....perhaps it is time to let this thread end.

Considering the fact that New York and New Jersey are among the top 3 states for the most DVC members, it is pretty safe to say that there is an excellent chance of running into one of us Northeast folks with our attitude every time you go to a DVC resort! LOL! I live and work right outside of Atlantic City and Ocean City, NJ, and we get vacationers from all the states and from different parts of the world and believe me, there are very rude and also very considerate people from everywhere. There are also people with wonderful attitudes and also some with very bad attitudes from every country and every state. Please do not single out and label the people from the Northeast--it is not fair nor correct. We are generally very nice people.

Is anyone else looking forward to the "lock" on this subject? <IMG WIDTH="15" HEIGHT="15" SRC="/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif" alt="razz">

Admittedly there have been some very strong comments on this Board lately. I realize that the Board moderators have the right to eliminate posts at their discretion. But I am really puzzled now. Scanning through the recent posts, I realized the comments by KaraKW protesting that nasty statement about Northeasterners has been eliminated. Perhaps the moderators felt she was too vocal or too harsh in her criticism. OK--that is their right. But why eliminate her protest but leave that nasty comment unjustly criticizing all of us who live in the Northeast???? As a NJ DVCer of many years, I believe the Northeast bashing post should have been deleted also. After all, that message was offensive to many, many Northeasterners.

PKK/MKK - I wondered about that too! Her response was not as strong and hurtful as the original post! This thread was about a pool hopping issue... not personal attacks...

I agree with Karakw, I'm not buying either, even if he paid me... Despite those comments, southern hospitality is alive & well!

Thank you moderators.

If there is no more discussion of pool hopping, perhaps we could all agree to let this thread stop without requiring the moderators to lock it for us.

Or, maybe it does need to be locked.

We have reservations at BWV in September and I understand the Luna pool will be closed starting the day before we arrive for renovations. I was certainly hoping we would be allowed to pool hop.

 

[travelbug]

When we checked into OKW on Apr. 14, we were told (without us even asking) that pool hopping at BWV was not being allowed. The CM explained that a couple of DVC members had gotten very upset when asked to leave the BWV pool, and so she just wanted me to know ahead of time. I really appreciated that.

A few days later, I stopped at the desk and asked whether we could pool hop at the Poly. The CM said "Pool hopping isn't allowed at all." I asked whether that was just during peak times like Easter week. She said no, that it is a new policy.

Fortunately we all enjoyed the OKW pools just fine. Being a rookie at staying on-site, I am not familiar with any of the pools at other resorts, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing!

You and others have posted this a few times now. My question is why? IMHO, this is exactly the reason owners (vs. prospective owners) come to this board. I wouldn't have know anything about it otherwise, and the fact that people disagree about what the policy should be is no reason to lock these threads. In fact, they're the reason to have this board in the first place.

I think the reference to locking this thread was that there wasn't any new info being added at all related to the topic or even DVC information. There were several derogatory posts. With a somewhat controversial thread, the end seems to come when there's not much to add and things start to get personal. Now there has been some new REAL info added.

There's no question that some of the best info for newbies comes from the controversial threads.

Thank you to those of you who support me. I am horrified that such blatant discrimination would be allowed to exist on these posts.

It's interesting...in Scarlett and LIDisneyfan's pool experiences, there seemed to be a form of "discrimination" in how they were selected and asked to leave the pool. And here, too, on our DVC board, it appears that discrimination is used in determining which posts are selected and deleted from the boards. I sense a trend...

This post is no longer about its original topic. In addition, it appears that there is no interest in returning to the original topic. This thread is closed.
