Boy, it seems that some of you have found a convenient way to entertain yourself, my only concern is that it is at the expense of other members such as yourself. I think it appropriate that a topic like this exists if members want to continue to post to it, however, I think I have a responsibility to take a few names and personally have a chat with some of you. I don't consider 'moderator bashing' a sport to be consider for the next Olympics, though it seems we have a training facility for such. So please, continue your discussion here and contribute what you feel is your best personal observation and opinion of the situation, and like all things in life, be responsible for what you post.

In the meanwhile, we will compare some suggestions from you with the newly elected TalkBoard and move on with the next level of moderators for FlyerTalk, with whatever level of moderating board members are comfortable with.

I can tell you that since this thread has gotten so much attention, that volunteers to the effort have dried up. My guess is that no one now wants a volunteer role with FlyerTalk where every single contribution they might make becomes easy fodder for a new thread. Hopefully there will be some suggestions hereafter on how we now make this work, remembering that it can never be a personal issue.

Thoughts anyone?
