personal attacks/foul language
Will there is probably a broad support for strong moderation of unkind posts with personal attacks, in many 'cases' I would prefer, if moderators would (first) just delete the attacking parts ( (and not close the entire topic - may be also 'warn' the poster if such attacks happen often, and finally 'ban' the poster or propose such a ban to Randy). </font>
Rudi, thank you. That is the exactly the way that many of us try to proceed.

Well and succinctly put!
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I really doubt, that many valuable oldies have left FlyerTalk (or became passiv) because of the moderator policy...
Agree. Heratened to hear that you think so too.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">And also: it seems that Randy's policy (and 'strategie' for the future of FlyerTalk) really seems to 'let us' focuse on discussions about miles & points (plus our special OMNI-playground) in the right place (= Fora) - in my judgement, even if some (or even if a majority of), FlyerTalkers wouldn't agree on this - that is so far the current policy for the moderators....
Exactly.

Once again, pithily and well-put.
Thank you.
