The poster asked for a Round the World award within the Miles & More Award scheme. I moved this thread to the LH forum, because here is the discussion regarding Lufthansa Miles More.

With the greatest of respect
Patron you are 100% WRONG on that IMO. I would be delighted if you could show me where M&M was even hinted at by him before you locked it? He has since SEVERAL times pointed this out to you on thread and politely asked it be moved BACK. Perhaps you simply assumed he was using M&M? Maybe he said on
another thread he planned to use M&M?
attorney28 NOWHERE I can see indicated at any time in his posts before you locked and moved his thread that he was using ANY specific airline plan, much less Lufthansa. He resides in Copenhagen. How do you or I know he was not planning on using SAS points? Or UA? Or Thai? The United points for ME to redeem it are the exact figures he used - so why *assume* he meant Lufthansa, and move it there?
It got farcical as you moved it to LH for some reason, and then folks THERE suggested he post in THIS Forum. Over half of the thread is basically asking why you moved it and you justifying it. Is that making things easier for folks to follow in any way who also just want to learn about RTW questions? And he consequently STILL does not have his question answered.

I did that and it inexplicably (sorry!) got closed by Patron. After reviewing it, I would have thought that the question was more appropriate there. The explanation that every *A FFP has different rules does not seem relevant to me since my question is exactly NOT solely a LH M*M question, but a question about a Star Alliance award.
Plus, Patron posted a dead link where to continue that discussion. Nobody has really answered my questions yet, though. Patron, can you please reconsider. Thanks. </font>
And .................

(Patron) - Whether I redeem 300,000 M&M miles or whatever amount of, let's say, UA miles to get a Star Alliance RTW award is irrelevant to the questions I have asked, no?
My question is about the rules once I have a Star Alliance RTW award ticket - which I could use on ANY Star Alliance Airlines, if I am not mistaken - and NOT about any LH-specific rules for OBTAINING that award (which is why I think your reason given for policing/closing that post is flawed).
My questions might sound stupid or too basic to you, but I would still be thankful if someone could answer them.
(Besides, I just followed CGK's suggestion when I posted it in the Star Alliance forum - simply because I was not getting (and still have not gotten) an answer here.)

Bottom line, Moderators can it seems move things wherever they want.
And humble forum readers like myself can also post that perhaps going a little easy of the thread lockings might not be too bad an idea. HALF the last threads posted being locked in a quiet Forum like this does seems over-zealous. To me anyway.
My original post was not a personal commentary on you ... please do not think that ... just an observation that "letting things ride" a little more may be worth considering.
