Thanks dgolds, yes we do seem to agree quite a lot about how to proceed.

In the first thread there, I seem to have got a little excited That was me misinterpreting and overreacting to the preceeding post. That matter has all been resolved now!

I see what you mean about the second thread, although the first 75% of it seems to be good stuff. I can also think of another thread involving some of the same (main) players where exactly the same thing happened. Those with long memories will be with me and that too got acrimonious. I think there is one (possibly two) post that is an obvious candidate for ammendment or deletion!

In my post above, when I refer to moderators or administrators, I mean Michael/Bryan/WebFlyer Personnel at the moment, although I note that the board has the capacity for a moderator for each thread. Also, is it not the case that a valid email address must be submitted to FlyerTalk to register, but it can be cocealed from other users? If that is not the case, it should be, enabling moderators to contact or warn users. Presumably, a first-issue password could be mailed to the address, just as it is when a password is changed.

I had forgotten that the squelch feature was your idea, dgolds - good one. I have also posted previously, pleading for a good FAQ but of course these things take time and effort to prepare.
