FT questions...
I have a few questions. I just thought the best place to ask it was here.
1. I have seen a few users with "FlyerTalk Evangelist" under their name. What does that mean, and what qualifications do you need to get that status?
2. Moderators - I have seen a lot of moderators on here, how do they become moderators? Do they apply or are they just nominated?
3. What does DO stand for? (As in public FT events, like the recent one in ATL for the DL forum)
4. FT's logo, etc...Maybe it's time for a new FT logo, since the current one is kinda plain, IMO needs some enhancement. Another idea, having the posting system in a new format (so when you type a message it doesn't have BB markup - you can view what will actually appear on the screen, and when you view a message in a thread, it has a different format.
5. Sub-forums. I am a organized person. How I have my files set up at school is each class has a folder (Enlgish, SS, math, etc.) and in each folder there are sub-folders, which is word, excel, ppt, etc. If there is one big project, I will create a folder for that project only, next to the word, ppt, excel and other folders. My point is, I wish that could happen to all forums (particurarly with Airline Programs) but I know some forums can't have something similar (like OMNI, TravelBuzz, etc.) But for the future of the DL forum, you could have:
SkyMiles (or whatever the new program name will be) sub-forum - specifically related to the program
Onboard - Flight attendants, seats, food/drinks served on board, IFE, etc.
Ckeck-in/Bag claim - Regarding checking in, OLCI, baggage claim
Airports - Talk about gate moving, new destionations, new routes, discontinued routes, discontinued destionations, etc.
Fleet - Talk about new airplanes being delivered, damage to aircraft, aircraft re-painting, retired aircraft, etc.
Current Events - News stories, IRROPS, diverted/cancelled flights, big topics, etc.
Miscellaneous
I think that subforums would be really helpful when making a new thread because it categorizes things. People that are better with a sub-forum can help in that part while another person can help in a different sub-forum, etc.
That concludes my questions. Thanks for taking the time to read and hope to hear a response.
