I understand how @BandB feels. Yes, sometimes members of this forum have a perspective that the original poster hadn’t thought of. More often, the original poster has to justify his/her decision to do what he/she plans to do to many posters.

Ahh …another newbie writing guidelines and schooling moderators on how to act on OUR forum! Too good!
No emojis needed!
Get your stickers and stick away for all we care!

If this has an exterior exit, I went with a personalized garden sign. I’m not sure if you have branded your unit, but you can have it say “Lake Oasis” or whatever you branded it.
Oh dear…I thought this was a public forum & the creators were trying to build and hopefully sell someday. I think we all should consider if our actions encourage “newbies” to participate & promote the stated forum standards of (excerpts from forum guidelines/terms of use):
Remember, we are all hosts on this forum and we should treat each other with mutual respect and dignity. We all want to learn something, have fun, meet new friends and join the discussion!"
From the Airhostsforum FAQs:
"…Use these guidelines to keep this a clean, well-lighted place for civilized public discourse…
…Improve the Discussion…
…The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said…
…Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree…
…Your Participation Counts…
…When you see bad behavior, don’t reply. It encourages the bad behavior by acknowledging it, consumes your energy, and wastes everyone’s time. Just flag it. If enough flags accrue, action will be taken, either automatically or by moderator intervention…
…Always Be Civil…Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness"

Hi @Annet3176
As mods @konacoconutz and @KKC will have been involved in developing forum guidelines so will be aware of what they are.
One of the reasons people love this forum is the way it can go completely off topic. There are plenty of other forums for those who prefer a more traditional Q&A approach.
I was certainly trying to help @BandB by identifying a security risk they might not have been aware of - I don’t see this as been unhelpful.

Off topic is wonderful and often educational. My comment was not about your raising a concern about safety or anything you posted.
My comments of:" I think we all should consider if our actions encourage “newbies” to participate & promote the stated forum standards:" were related to civility. Sadly some of us (me included) tend to get wrapped up in the current conversation and treat others harshly.
I am almost shocked how this thread took one more turn. From an innocence question about stickers to security, tacky and now newbie and attitude.
I have seen many threads going from someting simple to insane. Criticism after criticism towards the original poster. Members starting to discuss completely different things among themselves.
I find this a complete waste of time, but then again, some people have nothing else to do with their lives sadly.
On this forum I try to help as best as I can for questions I also have experienced. I do also appreciate the simple answers I do get to mine. I do not have time for long lasting discussions and fights. I prefer spending my time on hosting these lovely guests from all over the world in one of my units.
@BandB I got my stickers on E bay. I also got a parking sign to put on my garage for a designated spot for my guests. I got the parking sign from a company that makes any kind of sign you may want. I sent him my own idea and they printed it. Just googled that for a sign company. I know you didn’t ask about that, but thought I would share that anyway.
