I encourage other bloggers to take their own stance in an effort to curb the crazy cryptic riddles that seem to have dominated these forums in the past few weeks.
So, on behalf of the staff at the BRG Blog, we are committed to not cross post airfare deals if:
1) The OP specifically requests it to not be cross-posted
and/or
2) The deal is not already scattered around other blogs and forums
Thus, if a deal has already been scattered around, and the OP didn't mention their desire to keep it secret, we would reserve the right to cross-post. If a deal has been scattered around, and the OP did mention to keep it secret, we will respect that wish and refrain from cross posting.
Also, if we find an airfare deal on our own, we reserve the right to initially post it on our blog, of course.
I hope that this will alleviate some of the headaches/worries of the Flyertalk posting community, and that the cryptic deal postings will come to an end.
Thank you,
David/Roadtripman
Owner of the BRG Blog
Looks like we may have a new beginning of some sort. Any other posters who cross post willing to keep the fares on FT ? I bet Flyer Talkers membership numbers have grown in the past few weeks. ^
