This also brings to light another matter. If a post about attaining status is marked helpful in 2014 but the program rules change in 2015 or any subsequent time, is that post still helpful or does it fall into the misleading category? The same can be said for any manufactured spend post or credit card churning post. The rules change frequently and some posts would no longer be helpful.
