Well thadocta ... even in your own 'home' forum Qantas this is a present problem as you realise.

Even when the threads are 100% related to Qantas, but mention Patron's Star co-Moderator kawoh being stripped of his Qantas Platinum card and all his QF points for a silly scam, it is locked. However, threads that have nothing to do with Qantas, i.e. red wine discussion, run for 50 posts with the Moderator happily adding his views.

In that linked thread above it is mentioned I too posted a month or two back that the Star Alliance Forum seemed to have an awful lot of locked and closed threads for a "quiet" Forum. Patron and I had a few champagnes here over Easter, and totally by co-incidence I am sure, there has not been one locked since.

I too would hope that an edit might be made of your comments about a WW2 personality. Patron is from the same country of birth, (which you may not realise) and it is not a term to use about ANY FlyerTalker for any reason - IMO.

Moderators have a pretty thankless job, and whilst not all FT'ers will agree with all their calls, using terms like that is surely not necessary?
