I think it brings much satisfaction to members of FlyerTalk when they can enjoy posts and replies to a thread that stays on topic. These same members unfortunately from time to time are inconvenienced when a threads signal to noise ratio is tagged by personal comments that have no place on FlyerTalk. There does come a time when our ability to be tolerable of these instances is taken advantage of.

Based on a non-topical dialog on the following thread, I have suspended the posting privileges of both johnfpage and ozstamps for an undetermined period. As in any situation, it's sometimes a judgement call and if you watch sports at all you know that many times the penalty goes to both the person instigating the action AND the person responding.

It is my hope that you continue to enjoy FlyerTalk by sharing the topic of frequent flyer miles and points and the general topic of travel.
