"FWIW, this fantastic board once already went "offline" a few years ago due to intense sniping.
Another related travel board, PlaneBusiness, also imploded recently for essentially the same sad reason..."

Will simply locking threads and pulling fora properly do the job and effectively take care of the "problem"?

I know I keep harping on this, but I really believe if we had a top level forum that was just a meet n greet place, where nothing that within the terms of the TOS is considered off-topic, we could preserve the intention of buzz...
...But it is not clear to me exactly what the goal is - even having sat on TalkBoard. Is it more moderators? Is it clearer or more specific guidelines? Is it a recruitment/training process? Is it protection from abuse? Is it all of the above?...

All good questions!
Any answers, anyone?
Perhaps these changes will actually help us ALL to better focus on
"Miles and Points" and to better enjoy the boards main "thrust!"
