IMO Patron generates some rather curious lockdowns. The one discussed here above I agree was warranted, and this one below yesterday was not.
The poster went from getting some potentially useful input from his post in Star Forum, to ZERO once it was curiously drop-kicked into the UA forum where it vanished:

The Star Forum is pretty quiet, and one wonders at the need to move such things that seem quite legit posts to my eyes at least.
Just because someone chooses to use UA miles to redeem an award on say TG, SQ, LH, or OS - who often cover the exact same routes, does not to me mean that asking experienced STAR ALLIANCE travellers should be precluded - quite the opposite.
The usual canned response: "The best place for discussions regarding UA MP is the United forum" is simply not relevant in many instances such as this as these awards are not on United anyway.

I have an amazing idea
ozstamps Instead of complaining in this thread
and the thread in question how about
helping the poster? You added to that thread yet didn't take the liberty to offer any help on his original question... I also think that it's up to the poster him/herself to discuss whether or not he/she agrees with the moderation. If we all start questioning moderation of other peoples post things will get rather boring...
Besides that, the reactions above don't seem to agree with your opionion on
Patrons moderation. Perhaps an email to either Patron or Randy would be better here???
