I see no reason why you would not just send it along to me. These sort of rules we have pre-existing for these situations have always been handled by me and for the record, are the very same rules we have for all members of FlyerTalk - not just Moderators and of course the member-elected TalkBoard members. Surely you would agree it would never be a good practice for FlyerTalk to openly allow any member to put another member on public trial just on their own version of events, say-so or just for fun. Those sort of things often referred to as witch hunts went out of common practice many years ago and for good reason. But you may very well have a valid issue with another member that is beyond the normal use of the "Ignore Member" tool which we make available to all members to use.

And I'm sure you are aware, or really should be that among all the leading and professionally run Web sites, especially those in the travel sector, our policies are literally the exact same as everyone else's.

So, feel free to send along any information, complaint or situations you feel need or even demand a through investigation.

You can either choose to send along via PM or by email to [email protected].

I've reread your post and think I've pretty much answered it with the reason, background and direct contact for anything you might care to discuss.

Cheers,
Randy

Clarification: my use of "and/or" was not meant to suggest that the person about whom I have a concern is necessarily a mod AND a TB member. I used "and/or" to keep the universe of "suspects" as broad as possible and so that no one would play guessing games, or make assumptions about who it is or what it involves. If my concern was meant to be aired publicly, I would have aired it publicly. It's not.
