If you select vaccinated proof I would think would be required BUT if you select unvaccinated, what does it say?

A couple of things...You still missed deleting a lot of posts, but I guess that's ok??. People are simply having a discussion and it shouldn't be able to be handpicked what is deemed acceptable or not depending on how someone views it. Threads almost always go slightly to completely off topic, yet often still relevant and back, but nothing is usually done. We were all still discussing Cozumel, covid testing and travel restrictions.
Just like being edited in a other thread for simply using the word ridiculous, this is ridiculous.
Yeah. It's still around. Called the Pub these days.Forum moderation seldom makes everyone happy, but IMO it is far better than the alternative. Remember Usenet?
First off the government is not doing any actual checking, they have coerced the airlines into doing the dirty work for them (and deal with the public frustration and stress). Initial it was a two tier test requirement if you were vaccinated you needed to be tested within a three day window prior to travel and if unvaccinated you had to be tested one day prior to travel. Then omicron came around it it didn't care if you had been vaccinated or not and since few people actually had symptoms but could still spread it they said the hell with it and shoved everyone in the same one day bucket regardless of vaccination status so it no longer mattered.I was actually on line, signed into my account and didn't want to mess with that (entering different vaccinations statuses ). There was what seemed to me, some conflicting info.in the "Travel Ready" info section, but I'm easily confused.
However, a couple minutes ago, I did talk to someone who made the trip about a week ago-was NOT asked for proof of vaccination. United's only interest was the Covid test, and no one asked about Covid test or proof of vaccination upon entry at US Customs.
A couple of things...
One is that what the mods react the quickest to is hostility. When forum participants start goring each others' oxen, the mods step in and try to surgically remove the posts where it is happening. Sometimes there is collateral damage.
The other is that ScubaBoard is a privately owned entity. If the owners want to search their database and remove any and all posts that contain the word "ridiculous" (or whatever), that is their right. It's their sandbox so they make the rules.
This is true it wont make everyone happy, but it can be done right. Instead of getting rid of some off topic by picking and choosing based on how they feel or changing somones post because they want it different, a better option would be to do it right and clean house or leave it be. If this thread is going to be cleaned of what seems to be considered off topic,(as per some removed posts of late) then there probably would be 1 page.Forum moderation seldom makes everyone happy, but IMO it is far better than the alternative.

Up here you have to be fully vaccinated to get on a plane anywhere and you have to show proof.
