ok, I re-read the post on how to suggest new forums.
Looking at the first page of threads in the UA forum, with my settings, here's a sample of topics, and how we might sort them. I ignored sticky posts and moved posts. Is this a good enough random sample?
United - Mileage Plus Related Discussion (Anything directly or indirectly related to Mileage earning, use, questions, and program benefits.)
United - Discussions that are unrelated to Mileage Plus (Service related questions, issues, upgrades, baggage, and anything not related to the Mileage Plus program).It wasn't that hard to sort them, and I don't think there were any difficult grey area posts in that batch. (ok, maybe I made a judgment call on the Priority Pass/RCC one, not sure. I'm sure there will be some judgment calls, just like there are today.) These would be the first two new sub-forums of the united forum.
I'm not proposing that we move any existing posts into the sub-forums, but all new posts should be posted to the sub-forums. It will be up to the mods to move existing active threads into the sub-forums if they want to and decide to.
The benefit of the new sub-forums would be to make it much easier for people that want to follow only the MP-related sub-forum much easier for them to do so, without getting bogged down in all the other stuff. We can all read the other stuff too, if we want to, and I will when I have time, but I want to be able to keep up with any MP related promos, etc, in one easy to use sub-forum.
nsx, I'm not sure how fatwallet style filtering would help me here with this real world example.
