You are proposing a bifurcation into rants and raves in one subforum and just the facts in the other. Although this has never been done for a travel company forum, it is essentially what our Community Director did with Travel Safety and Security. The problem is the transitional and ongoing workload for the moderators. Our CD would need to be reasonably sure that the workload would be manageable and not a multiple of what it would have been without the split. Therefore this sort of change IMHO should be debated and designed by the moderators and the CD rather than just by the TalkBoard.

Thanks for bringing up this idea. You might want to PM it to the UA forum moderators to kick around on their own.
