I didn't approve it but I emailed him on the email he left the comment with and answered his question. So that might be considered making it easier for newbies? Idk but there were times when bad feedback was left on some of my posts and it's still there. I approve them all. Well, I approve for whatever I write.
I don't get the point of censoring like that. How do you know if there is not another individual that will "benefit"? Maybe someone else wants to post about not liking that you guys are wearing flip flops and shorts on a 1st class A380 flight? Unless it is super nasty/rude, it is just the opinion of your readers. (I did not post this opinion, but I've seen some similar ones disappear)

Personally after reading about the throw away ticketing and only a small warning about how this "might" violate the rules and get your account shut down... I saw that there really was no looking out for the newbies. You guys are giving advice that you wouldn't even use (these are the blog's words and not mine). When you censor comments... who know if other people posted their negative experience using a "trick" like that.
