Well MapleLeaf, I'll disagree with you. you can post all you want of FlyerTalk as some members have successfully done. It's only when you try and take things into your own hands does your posting privilege get cut short. For some - it's only after one or two posts on flyerTalk, for others it comes after thousands of posts. It only comes when your posting behavior draws my attention. I don't take action on the advice of every member, and the moderators know this. I do look things over and try and balance my response for what is ultimately right for FlyerTalk.

As for Shareholders comments, I'd rather see these types of comments in a personal email to me, but he chose his own way of expressing himself and as long as it doesn't flame an individual member, then it's within our guidelines.

But shareholder does make a good point. When i find out that a member has tried to circumvent a time out - I will suspend them again and usually throw away the key for a length of time. I know that there are some members on this board who think they are too clever to get caught.......that's their first mistake. Let's see who the next mouse will be?

Probably enough comments for this thread. I'd suggest we all have calm and bright....
