As a rather Newbie myself, I've always wondered why post counts don't count on Omni.. I understand that post counts reflect discussions on miles and points.. It however doesn't make sense to not count the posts on Omni..

If not added to regular post counts, would a Omni/PR classified post count seperate from the regular post count not work? Could FT, then classify members in a seperate naming system for Omni/PR in addition to the leaving the regular system untouched?.. If not adopting posts on the regular post count?..

In considering this divisive issue, the TalkBoard should revisit the debate by considering the major viewpoints of post count. This seems a big enough issue that, perhaps a binding questionnaire referendum be put out to the FlyerTalk Members, or perhaps consultation with a specially selected Focus Group, reporting to the TalkBoard with the feedback.

Post Counts are big business here on FlyerTalk.. Many members spend countless hours, and the statistics should reflect the effort and time members put in. I appreciate the moderators imposing a 20 post per day glass ceiling (not official, but no FT member usually has over average 20 posts per day for very long).. and the independence autonomy of the moderators should continue so that MRs aren't being performed on post counts to ensure quality posts.. But not counting Omni/PR for those participating, is relegating the section like it doesn't belong on FlyerTalk..

I'm open to suggestions how we can reward FlyerTalk Members with recognition in the Omni/PR.. What that looks like and if any change is implemented, depends on the feedback we receive from Membership surveys, focus groups and discussions..
