What is the TalkBoard and How are New Forums and Other Suggestions Considered?
Quote:
The following are qualitative criteria that the TalkBoard believes are useful to consider when evaluating proposals to create, close, split, or move forums. Whenever a forum change is discussed on the TalkBoard Topics, the TalkBoard encourages posters to fully address these criteria in addition to any other reasons supporting or opposing the change.
1. Will the forum be (or is it now) beneficial to FlyerTalk?
2. Will the new forum benefit a relationship with FlyerTalk? E.g., does the forum provide value for FT members, such as a friendly ear highly placed in the company
3. Is FT the best place to discuss this subject?
4. Is there a passionate following? This is essential in order to provide dedicated expert helpers to get questions answered.
5. Is a critical mass of posts and readers anticipated or existing? We need adequate traffic to keep everyone visiting frequently. One living forum is more valuable than two mostly dead ones.
6. Is this the best place on FlyerTalk for this subject? This is the classification issue. The answer depends primarily on achieving and maintaining critical mass. It also depends on whether or where the discussion might (or does) occur in the absence of the forum.
7. For proposals to split a forum, is the split expected to improve the signal to noise ratio? Why?

Creating an Israel destination subforum within the Middle East destination forum sounds fine by me. Is that what the OP is suggesting? Or is the suggestion to make Israel a sub-forum within the Asia destination forum? Or something else?

Bolding mine: That would make sense to me as well but without any other info by the OP, not sure where they are going with this Originally Posted by GUWonder

I think this whole thread is inappropriate.. The OP posts a thread which could be construed as a troll and leads with a one word post.. no reasoning why, no outline of benefits.. this is PR material.. perhaps beneath that..

Can't speak for other TB members, but unless the OP (or someone else) comes back w/ answers to the following, don't think his proposal is going to gain much traction & the thread will drop down (unless people bump it up). If/when the following gets answered, then the topic (minus the political commentary) can be discussed.

Geographically speaking, Israel is in the Middle East. Unless the OP is requesting a new forum (which if they are, please see SkiAdcock's post) - discussion should continue to take place in the Middle East forum.

Please consider and discuss the topic sans political and offensive characterizations; this is not OMNI P/R. At least one such post and replies have been deleted. Thank you! /Moderator
