As a DiveBuddy member, you have the power to control the content of our website. I can’t be the only one to apply judgment to what I think is wrong so I created the ability for DiveBuddy members to "vote" on what they don’t want to have on the site.

To cast your vote against content you feel doesn’t belong on DiveBuddy, use the Report link towards the bottom of just about every page. After a handful of members "vote off" the same content, it’s removed from our website.

And remember, what may be wrong to you, is perfectly ok to someone else in a different country or culture. That’s why it’s important that we all have a say in what is allowed and not allowed here.

Thanks for your support and your help controlling the content of DiveBuddy.

Sincerely,

Greg Davis

So am I being too bold to say that I prefer to see forum entries from individuals here, and not advertisements from Golden Reef Inn? But where on the site would be a more appropriate spot for GFI to post their monthly adds? I don’t mind hearing about amazing deals. I just wish there was a separate place I could go to see them all.

That is one reason I created the Press Release blog category. I suppose I could also add Press Release as a forum category. What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

Greg

CREATE A TRAVEL DEALS SELECTION FOR ADVERTISERS, IT WILL BE EASY TO SEE AND COMPARE PRICES/DEALS AND CREATE SOME COMPETITION FOR THE HUNGRIEST OPERATOR

To be honest I check the Forum & Blog pages daily for anything new and interesting, and leave the setting to "view all" because I have no specific topic of interest. Here’s an idea....if you had a "Travel Deals" page, you could have a pull down menu sorted by geographical locations. For example, if I was traveling to Hawaii this summer and wanted to see if there were any deals offered, I could check there quickly. At the rate the website is expanding you may get lots of resorts to advertise this way? Possible categories might be US West Coast, US East Coast, Mexico, Cuba, Dominica, Carribean, Hawaii, Tihiti, Europe, Australia, I don’t think the list would be loo long to list just about every major dive area in the world. And maybe the cost to advertise could be they must offer a ?% discount to any Divebuddy member who books as a result of the ad? I like the sound of that!

Babe, I think it’s awesome that you posted this so that everyone knows that you want their feedback and you really do care about their ideas. And I think it’s super cool that divers are responding so honestly. That’s what makes DiveBuddy so great. It’s everyone’s site.

A blog by Mad Fish Dive Centre at Matava about the great scuba diving around the Fiji Islands. Some of the highlights of living and working in Fiji is the diving on the soft coral reefs with sharks, mantas and teeming life on the reefs. 


case in point !
